#123: Damion McLean-Appalachian State University

"It just means more" when an alum coaches at their alma mater. Today's guest nearly quit the App State track team as a sophomore and now serves as the Director of T&F and CC. How's that for a turnaround?

Damion sits down with us today to talk about his mentors, how he never started coaching after college but was brought back to App State as an assistant coach, and his ascension to Associate Head Coach, then head coach, and now Director. Along the way we get into a great conversation around being an introvert, the new track facility they are building, and the power of colored frozen pops (aka Fla-Vor-Ice).
