Behind the success of every team is a great coach. It can sometimes be a position that is often overlooked when a team, or a specific athlete in particular has a breakout season, but the success of any athlete or any team comes down to the strength of the coaching staff. For the University of Utah women’s track and field team, that coach is Kyle Kepler.
Sometimes, coaches are drawn into coaching because it is a family affair. Some coaches have parents, uncles or aunts or other relatives who were involved in coaching athletics, and they simply follow suit.
