St. Philip’s is honored to have Coach Chris McNatt nominated as CYO Coach of the Year.  To be nominated the CYO coach of the year, the track coach from every school in the archdiocese chooses one coach that they believe is the most deserving of this award.  I interviewed Coach Chris McNatt asking him questions about track and his everyday life.  Below is a question and answer interview between Coach Chris and me.

Question: Does coaching track change the way you do stuff in your everyday life (interacting with other people)?
