Meet Coach Nic Acosta!

Acosta has started his coaching career at Bonita two years ago as the head cross country coach.

His favorite part about being the cross country coach is seeing the progress at practice and the kids showing up and transforming themselves, especially the ones who have no background in running. "They commit themselves to the sport and prove themselves in ways more than one."

Before each meet he loves listening to hype music, his favorite song being "Waiting" by Greenday.

Coach Acosta loves to encourage his runners with keeping the mindset that "its gonna hurt anyways so just accept it and run".

His favorite memory in the sport is watching our athletes work pay off, as one hit 4:32 in the mile and another placing 3rd out of 330 athletes competing in the 3 mile.

"It doesn't matter where you start but where you finish, mindset over everything"-Coach Nic Acosta
