Today on the podcast is Yohanes vanMeerten.
Yohanes is a sophomore out of Flagstaff High School in Flagstaff, Arizona. Yohanes is one of the rising stars in the world of high school running. He holds PRs of 14:46 for 5K, he also has ran altitude converted track PRs of 1:59 for 800, 4:19, for the mile, and 9:10 for 3200m.
The craziest thing is that Yohanes didn’t start truly training and devoting himself to the sport until that last summer. He even claimed that he didn’t even know what Footlocker Nationals was until 5 weeks before he went, where he became an All-American in one of the most historic high school meets. So this dude is a crazy talent.
Yohanes had a lot of amazing insights to share today. He talks a lot about grounding yourself in the moment, how to take pressure off, and his faith of God being a huge factor in his success, all of which, made an incredible conversation today, and stay tuned, because you won’t want to miss it.
