À propos de ce contenu audio
Mike Rosolino, Head Cross Country and Track & Field Coach at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, joins Airey Bros Radio for Episode 482.

Coach Rosolino has spent more than two decades in Daytona Beach helping build Embry-Riddle from a developing NAIA cross country program into a nationally competitive NCAA Division II cross country and track & field program.

We go back to the beginning of Mike's story — playing soccer, finding cross country, competing at Rhodes College, getting his first coaching opportunity at Presbyterian College, and eventually arriving at Embry-Riddle.Mike breaks down what the program looked like when he arrived, how ERAU built its track & field program from the ground up, and the challenges of transitioning from the NAIA to NCAA Division II.

We also get deep into college recruiting, what makes Embry-Riddle different academically, and why programs like aerospace engineering, flight, engineering and aviation attract a unique type of student-athlete.

Coach talks about managing demanding academics and athletics, developing high-level performers, building the program around its Student – Person – Player philosophy, and creating one family across cross country and track & field.

We also discuss the current Eagles, training in the Florida heat, double-threshold training, Daytona Beach, NASCAR, coaching his own son, Mountain Dew, powdered donuts and the Airey Bros Final Four.If you're a high school runner, parent, coach or athlete looking at college cross country and track & field, this episode gives you an inside look at Embry-Riddle and NCAA Division II athletics.
