Podcast 3: Michael Lucchesi : Head Coach, Second City Track Club

This is a different kind of podcast for The Gait Guys, but it was clear this talk needed to happen and we felt our listeners needed to hear some of the insights of one of this nation's best coaches, in our opinion. Enjoy the interview with Nike Coach, Michael Lucchesi, head coach of Second City Track Club. An insightful interview with a great coach, he is one to watch.
