About

In The Long Green Line Podcast, Director Matty Arnold follows up the subjects from the 2008 documentary, The Long Green Line. The podcast features interviews of former athletes inspired by the legendary Coach Joe Newton of York High School in Elmhurst Illinois, where winning 28 Illinois state cross-country titles in his 66 years of coaching was secondary to his greater purpose.

Coach Joe Newton spent six decades living his purpose, teaching boys to how to become heart-centered men, using cross-country running as his platform to help change the world, by cultivating “truth, honor, loyalty and character” in his runners.

Newton led runners across a spectrum of abilities, “everyone has something to contribute," reinforcing that, “it’s nice to be great, but far greater to be nice.”

Enjoy rich discussions on conscious masculinity and cross country as a metaphor for life.
