Meet Assistant Coach, Julie Ott

"I have always had a fascination with health, sports performance and nutrition as far back as I can remember. Growing up I gravitated towards soccer and running and competed in both at very elite levels. I ran track & cross country at UCLA which was an amazing experience - competing with the best of the best. Post college, I decided to step into the coaching role, bestowing all the knowledge and experience I have with distance running to the next generation of runners. I coached cross country at Cathedral Catholic High School and assisted with the track distance team at Torrey Pines High School last season. The experience I have had coaching kids is so rewarding and more enjoyable than I could have ever imagined. I think kids have so much to offer and learn from one another. I really enjoy fostering an environment where they feel safe, have fun and learn to dig deep within to become the best version of themselves."
