Matt Luck, head coach of Willoughby South (OH) High School, has been awarded a scholarship from Gill Athletics for the USATF Level I Coaches Education School to be held at Defiance College from Feb. 24-26.

Starting his 14th year coaching at Willoughby South, Luck’s naturally ability to focus on an athlete centered program has helped him achieve success in all the track events.

“What impressed me the most about Luck was his care for the athletes to measure success against themselves and not some arbitrary time or measurement,” said Gill Athletics Sales Manager Mike Cunningham. “Matt has a great aptitude to teaching; one that I believe will be enhanced by the USATF Level I program.  I’m positive that by awarding Matt this scholarship he will go on to help more athletes achieve success.”

“I would like to give a special thanks to Gill Athletics for providing me with the opportunity to further my coaching education,” said Luck.  “I am certain that the information and knowledge I will obtain by attending the Level I school will provide me with a further understanding on how to help athletes run faster and jump farther.”
