Episode 647: Trackbeast Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

College track & field recruiting is noisy, expensive, and stacked against families who don’t already know how the system works. Most high school athletes apply blind — no real sense of where their marks make them competitive, what a program actually needs, or how NIL works in their state.

Trackbeast replaces that guesswork with data. Former professional runners Eric Avila and Adam Dailey pair one of the most complete databases of programs, coaches, rosters, and performance marks anywhere with the tools a family needs to run their own recruiting: find the programs where an athlete’s marks fit, reach the right coaches, and track every step.
