Where Are They Now? W. "Mung" O'Keefe

Dr. Scott McNeal Season 3 Episode 6

Returning to studio 1812 after a long absence is Mr. Will “Mung” O’Keefe. Will is a husband, runner, gnarly BMX dude, man of faith, the most likely first off the 60-foot cliff into the lake, and finally, an assistant cross country and track coach at Adams State, a powerhouse D-II school in CO.

Will and I go back a few moons. That is, years. Back to his early Wile E. Coyote collegiate days at a D-II school in MO.

To learn more about Will – the court jester of coaching – and his more serious side - check out Season 1 Podcast Episodes 2 and 4. 

For now, learn about Will’s slow and somewhat bumpy onboarding into the coaching world. What decisions go into an ultimately West Bound and Down hard CO launch for him and his new and only bride, Taylor?

So, let’s get into the head and heart space of Coach O’Keefe!

Quips and Advice:

“Wanted…needed…appreciated.” – Coach Martin, Adams State.

"People may not remember what you said but will remember how you made them feel."

"Rather sacrifice a win for someone being healthy."
