Coaching Philosophy

When looking for prospective student-athletes, Lange says, “I like to look for women that have really positive outlooks on their training and goals. We want people who are passionate about the sport and enjoy showing up every day.”

Lange also likes that positive perspective to be included in his own coaching style, “I try to stay positive and put everything into perspective for them since some have more experience than others in the sport. I prepare them for the unexpected because there are always going to be things that come up, like challenges and injuries. So as long as they are mentally and physically prepared as well as they can be, I just hope they are ready for any situation.”

As a former student-athlete, Lange feels that helps him relate to his athletes, “Knowing what they are going through and relating to certain situations, I am able to help them realize that it’s okay if they are struggling. I remind them to take it day-by-day and to stay motivated.”

Now in his third season as the head coach of both men’s and women’s cross country programs, and the first season with the newly created women’s track team, Lange has worked with the student-athletes to create a great team culture. “The first few years here were definitely a foundation and trying to establish the team culture. Now that we are a couple of years in, the juniors and seniors have experienced it. They feed off of each other, are proud of what they have accomplished, and try to translate that to the newcomers.”

The coaching staff encourages team members to get involved in other areas of the Endicott community such as student government, clubs, and committees as well.
