🎙️ From Baseball Dreams to Hammer Dreams: Justin Potter’s Coaching Journey at Mount Olive 🚀


In this episode of the Gill Athletics Connections Podcast, we sit down with Justin Potter, throws coach at the University of Mount Olive. Justin shares his unique journey, from playing baseball and football to discovering track and field in college. With a career that began as a graduate assistant at Lynchburg, Justin has navigated the challenges of coaching with wisdom passed down from his mentor Doug Thomsey, who famously said, “It’s your baby, figure it out.” Justin talks about how this philosophy empowered him to take ownership of his coaching journey, embrace responsibility, and develop a keen eye for detail in the technical aspects of throwing.


Tune in to hear how Justin balances the demands of recruiting, developing athletes, and the pursuit of excellence at Mount Olive. This conversation is packed with insights on coaching patience, growth, and building a lasting legacy in the world of track and field.
