Editor’s note: Doug Todd, Director of the Brooks XC West Regional, is hosting a humdinger of a Coaching Clinic!
Danny Mackey, founding coach of the Brooks Beasts TC, will speak for FREE at a Coaching Clinic the day before the Brooks XC Regional West Meet! If you are within a thousand miles, get your kids to the meet, and get yourself to the clinic. Take notes. Danny knows how to develop athletes long-term, and has helped athletes from 800m to the 10,000m.
This is pretty awesome!

Attention all Cross-Country and Distance Coaches:
Danny Mackey, #BrooksBeastsTC founding coach and coach of #JoshKerr, the new World Record Holder in the mile, will speak at Mt. SAC on Friday, December 4th, 2026, at 3:00 pm.
The presentation will take place in Mt. SAC’s Heritage Hall, inside Hilmer Lodge Stadium. Kerr’s recent 3:42.66, set last summer in London, shattered the previous record of 3:43.13 held by Morocco’s Hicham El Guerrouj.

Come hear the amazing story of how they both planned for and executed this amazing assault on one of Track and Field’s most historic and iconic records.
Goal setting and planning for peak performance are themes we can all relate to.
Sharpening these skills will benefit both coach and athlete at all levels. This special opportunity is offered at no cost.
