Nelson is a caring coach who looks out for the athletes, program and coaches. he manages all aspects of the team and makes meetings clear while sprinkling in well-intended advice. i do think he could have more grit, sometimes he comes off a little corny.

I believe Coach Nelson had a successful first year at Monmouth University. Coming in as a new coach is hard, but he always had a positive attitude at practice and genuinely wants the best for his athletes on and off the track. He’s very to easy to talk to and ask questions when needed.

I was not with him as much as I would like but it’s difficult because I was in a different event group, but reach out and know more athletes.

Coach Nelson is a young coach that competed DIII at Truman State University. After only a couple years of volunteer assisting at Saint Louis, he landed the Head XC and Assistant T&F job at Marquette. He is an excellent speaker with lots of connections around the US. His athletes have struggled to see great improvements following high school, however a few athletes during his time have greatly succeeded.
