The Coaching Evolution of Kyle Rutledge from Pittsburg State University


In this captivating episode of the Connections Podcast, Kyle Rutledge, a distinguished figure in the world of track and field, shares his unexpected journey into coaching. Growing up as a coach's kid, Kyle initially envisioned a career in insurance, much like his mother. However, destiny had other plans. He recalls about his dad, "I still use his philosophy to this day in training. A lot of what I do is from what he taught me." This sentiment reflects Kyle's deep respect for his mentors and the foundational principles they instilled in him.


The episode delves into Kyle's experiences at various institutions, including Johnson County CC, Missouri S&T, and his current role at Pittsburg State University. He provides insights into the unique culture of D2 NCAA when host Mike Cunningham asks him, "As a guy who came through the D2 ranks as an athlete and the majority of your career has been in D2 coaching, what is it about D2 that's kind of different culturally?" Kyle's dedication to his athletes, combined with his passion for the sport, shines through as he discusses the challenges and rewards of hosting the NCAA D2 Championship meet and the aspirations of clinching it as a team.


Listeners are treated to a deep dive into Kyle's coaching philosophy, the mentors who shaped his career, and the invaluable lessons he's gleaned over the years. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone passionate about track and field, coaching, and the journey of personal and professional evolution.
