Ans: Bobby McGee is on a mission to transform the world of running. Starting in South Africa, coaching in obscurity in the apartheid era working with athletes like Zola Bud, Bobby McGee is now one of the most sought after running coaches in the world.
Born in Apartheid South Africa, to an English Father and an Afrikaans mother, Malcolm “Bobby” McGee was brought up with a rare collection of experiences that cut across the divided racial lines of South Africa. Bobby demonstrated an early love for running and fitness as a young man running middle distances and cross country both at school, then later at the University of Stellenbosch, near Cape Town, his Alma Mater. He gained a B.A. Honors Degree (cum laude) in Human Movement Studies as well as an education diploma & a degree in English literature. He was conscripted into the South African Defense Force and served as an infantry Lieutenant and later Captain in the South African Defense Force, where he served a combat tour in then South West Africa, (now Namibia).
With his passion for sport and his aptitude for endurance, Bobby’s father advised him to pursue his passions through becoming involved in sport education. He realized after completing his degree and spending 5 years as a high school coach that he wanted to coach at a much higher level and returned to university with the this purpose in mind. Bobby McGee thus began his coaching career over 30 years ago as a High School Track and Cross Country coach in South Africa. Bobby raidly transformed his 5-man high school cross country team into a state championship squad of 55 athletes. He was fortunate to be around world record holders, elite coaches and scientists in this time who responded to his requests for information and guidance – figures like world renowned sports scientist professor Timothy Noakes.
Bobby’s fame as a running coach in South Africa quickly spread, and top athletes in the country flocked to him because of his demonstrated ability to motivate, transform their running form and mechanics, and develop scientifically sound training plans that led them to new heights in their running performances. But South Africa, at this time, was banned from international competition because of its Apartheid policies. With almost no pay, and little hope for coaching a championship athlete, Bobby coached in relative obscurity purely for the love of transforming lives through running.
Bobby is a coach who knows his stuff and is passionate about learning and sharing.
In 1992, Apartheid abrupty ended, and Bobby suddenly had his chance to coach athletes on the world stage. In 1992 he was the
South African marathon coach to the Barcelona Olympics. Then in 1996, with tears of joy streaming down his face, Bobby watched as Josia Thungwane ran into the Olympic Stadium in Atlanta to win the Olympic Marathon Gold Medal. Josia, who Bobby had guided for 4 years, was of Ndebele heritage, and he became a national symbol of post Apartheid South Africa’s hopeful future.
After coaching a number of world class runners, Bobby moved to Boulder Colorado for the spring and the fall each year after 1992 preparing runners for the big city marathons of London, Chicago, Boston & New York, until finally moving to the US in 1996. In 2002 he founded Bobby McGee Endurance Sports, and began to focus on the emerging sport of Triathlon, where Champion Triathletes at all distances sought out his running expertise. Bobby, over the past 10 years, has been a part of the preparation of over a dozen Olympians, even more top ranked ITU Triathletes, and for an even longer period many world class runners over distances from the 800m to ultra-marathons. He has even coached world record holders and world champions in the sport of race walking.
