Frank “Gags” Gagliano. He is the head coach and heart of the New Jersey New York Track Club. Gags’ approach to coaching is refreshingly personal. When asked how to measure success, he answers with two words, “Personal Best.” Any of his athletes, past or present, will tell you that he makes them feel like they’re the only one on the team. His accessibility and level of devotion to them as an athlete and individual makes them want to perform well, not just for themselves, but for coach Gags. For being as old as he is, his athletes marvel at his ability to maintain constant communication with them by whatever technological means necessary. Whether its one-word voicemails, emojis, emails, or verbal kicks in the butt, Gags is always there for his athletes.
