Trivia Question: How many North Central (IL) University track/field alums are in the coaching ranks?

Answer: Too many to count!

In this insightful episode of the Connections Podcast, Sean Carlson, an esteemed alum of North Central (IL) University, delves into his coaching journey that has taken him from Notre Dame to his recent appointment as the Director of XC/Distance for the Volunteers of the University of Tennessee. Sean's dedication to his role is evident when he says, "Even in the role I'm in now, I'll do whatever I have to do. Last week, I was cleaning our golf cart by hand because it makes an impact on the program."


Sean's journey is not just about coaching athletes but also about personal growth and understanding the nuances of leadership. He emphasizes the importance of treating everyone with respect, regardless of their position, stating, "My parents taught me to treat the janitor the same as I would treat the CEO. But that's only if the CEO is willing to do the things that the janitor would do." This philosophy underscores Sean's belief in humility and the collective effort required to achieve success.


The episode provides a deep dive into Sean's approach to coaching, his experiences, and the unique setup at the University of Tennessee.
