Tim Catalano

Tim, a highly recruited distance runner out of high school, went on to run varsity track and cross country for the storied University of Colorado (CU) athletic program. While there, he helped the team earn fourth and second place finishes nationally. These experiences had a transformative influence on him that sparked a lifelong interest in the power of experience in shaping the individual.

He earned his undergraduate degree in psychology from CU in 1995 and added a master’s degree in instruction and curriculum from the school’s Department of Education in 1997. During his twelve-year teaching career, Tim worked at high schools in three countries. He taught IB psychology in the classroom and became heavily involved in high school athletics and activities outside the classroom. He was a head track and cross-country coach for ten years, created and sponsored two tremendously popular life improvement clubs for teens, and advised student governments for six years.

In 2007, Tim graduated from the Principals’ Training Center with a certification in international school administration.

With a lifetime of involvement and interest in human behavior and the transformative influence of running and other activities, Tim has developed a passion to combine the teachings of psychology and the sport of running.
