As both an educator and athletics coach, Jill Henry has made a career out of working with high school and college students. In 2022, she received the National Double-Goal Coach Award from the Positive Coaching Alliance. Awarded to only 25 coaches in the U.S. who've made a positive impact on their student-athletes, PCA's recognition was based on how her girls cross country program (in Los Angeles) supports student-athlete wellness. Jill has been personally honored with the title of “All-Area Coach of the Year” seven times in her career. As a 15-year coaching veteran, her 2013-2018 squads achieved legacy status in California, tying for the most State Championships in Division 5 and in 2016, setting a record for team time at the State Championship race (which still holds today). Jill also brings 15 years of experience teaching at the high school level to her role as a wellness author and educator, which allows for a creative and engaging approach to the delivery of important information. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and co-author, Dave Henry, and their two kids.
