Back in the fall of 2025, Coach Marques Lowe (Gill podcast alum!) and the Vipers Track Club hosted a Central Illinois Pre-Season Coaches Clinic. To increase the value to other coaches, he has allowed those presentations to be published on the Gill1918 Project Podcast.

Up today is Part 2 of Mike Erb (Gill Podcast alum) speaking on How to be a Great Assistant Coach. This is a great discussion on what is expected of GREAT assistant coaches and how it can help improve your career. If you missed Part 1 yesterday, you might want to go back and listen to that first to get the whole picture.
