From football dreams to track passion, Bradley Moon’s journey is one of faith, humility, and servant leadership. As founder of Sprint Free Training and co-creator of the upcoming Remotion app, Bradley’s story shines a light on what happens when coaching goes beyond ego — focusing instead on relationships, respect, and doing it “for the kids.”

In this inspiring season finale, Mike and Bradley unpack:

🏈 Transitioning from football player to track coach

🧠 Learning through mentors like Coach Bird, Coach Black, and Altis

🙌 Building trust between club and high-school coaches

💡 Coaching philosophy rooted in humility and servant leadership

📲 How technology (like Remotion) can support underserved athletes

🙏 Using coaching as a platform for ministry and mentorship

“There has to be a level of humility in coaching. I never want an athlete to think I’m bad-mouthing another coach — we’re all here to serve the kids.” — Bradley Moon

As Season 6 comes to a close, this episode is the perfect reminder that success in track and field isn’t measured by medals — it’s measured by impact.
