1.5 Setting and Achieving Goals w/ Professional Running Coach Ben Rosario - NAZ Elite

This conversation is with Ben Rosario! Ben is the head coach for Northern Arizona Elite, which is a professional running team based out of Flagstaff, Arizona and sponsored by Hoka One One. Ben has had tremendous success in running, business, and coaching. He used to run professionally for the Hanson’s Brooks Project. Then he built up a running store from nothing to 2 million in sales. In 2014, he created the professional running team that he coaches today, NAZ Elite. This is a special episode to me because this is actually the first podcast episode I ever recorded. This conversation is the first time I sat down with someone and recorded anything longer than 10 seconds. We recorded this all the way back in early August of 2017. When we recorded this, several of his athletes were gearing up for the Frankfurt marathon. Scott Smith, Matt Llano, and Scott Fauble, who has never run a marathon, were set to compete at Frankfurt in Late October. Llano ran 2:13:42, Fauble 2:12:35, and Smith 2:12:21. Huge congratulations to all of them, especially Scott Fauble who ran the 12th fastest American debut, tied with Meb Keflezghi. If you know anything about running, you know Meb. He’s an absolute legend. This episode is also special because Ben is not a student-athlete, but the topics we discussed can be helpful to anyone wanting to be good at athletics or anything in their life. He works with some of the best athletes in the world to help them get the best out of themselves and I hope he can help you too! Thank you so much for listening! If you have the time, please leave a rating and review! It would mean the world to me!
