The Athletic and Coaching Odyssey of John Godina from Grand Canyon University


In this episode of the Connections Podcast, host Mike Cunningham is joined by the three-time Olympian and current collegiate shot put record holder, John Godina. John delves into his illustrious career, reflecting on his early days and the mentors who shaped his trajectory, including his father, Bill Godina, and his collegiate/professional coach, Art Venegas.


John shares candid moments from his journey highlighting his current role at Grand Canyon University. He further discusses the creation of Altis and the nuances of coaching at different levels. The episode takes a light-hearted turn when Mike jokingly introduces him as a "half marathoner," to which John playfully responds, hinting at the camaraderie between the two.


Listeners are treated to an in-depth conversation that offers a glimpse into the life and philosophy of one of track and field's most iconic figures. John's dedication, passion, and insights make this episode a must-listen for anyone interested in the world of athletics and coaching.
