Running Philosophy – Michael T. Patterson
Running is about dedication, consistency, and growth over time. From his early success in high school through collegiate records, national competition, and Olympic Trials qualification, Patterson has embraced the discipline and joy of striving for personal excellence. He believes that progress comes from patience, resilience, and teamwork, and that success is measured not only by times and titles but also by the friendships and community built along the way. As both athlete and coach, Patterson values giving back to the sport, inspiring others to pursue their potential while fostering a lifelong love of running.
