Coach Zack

As a coach and a teacher, Coach Zack is passionate about empowering individuals to reach their full potential. Coach Zack has been a teacher in Aurora Public schools for over a decade at the middle and high school levels and he has been passionate about running since his days of running cross country and track at Cherokee Trail High school. After his first season coaching with EDT he was hooked because of the fun atmosphere, positive attitudes and everyone’s excitement for running. Coach Zack brings not only his years of running experience to the team but optimistic attitude and his ability to foster strong connections with runners, motivating them to strive for improvement and reach their goals. In his free time, Coach Zack enjoys running (obviously),  hiking, reading and spending time with his 2 children (Piper and Milo).

 

"I love coaching because it allows me to share my passion for running. Running is not just a physical activity; it teaches invaluable lessons about work ethic and perseverance. Each race and practice challenges these athletes to push their limits and discover what they are truly made of. It's inspiring to see how the sport fosters determination and resilience, qualities that will benefit them in all aspects of life."
