Rain or shine. Wind or frost. Whether it\u2019s a chilly morning session or a twilight sprint under stormy skies, Steve is there \u2014 not just showing up, but showing what relentless dedication to athlete development truly looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Steve, coaching is never improvised. Every session is part of a broader plan \u2014 a meticulous, adaptive strategy built around each athlete\u2019s goals, body, and story. And when weather, injury, or life gets in the way, the plan may shift \u2014 but the\u00a0<strong>pursuit of <a href=\"https:\/\/fastrunning.com.au\/about\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/fastrunning.com.au\/about\/\">Running Excellence<\/a> never does<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll find him kneeling trackside, analysing a hurdler\u2019s stride pattern; on the infield with a 400m runner dissecting a race split; or at the finish line, eyes scanning for asymmetries in acceleration. It\u2019s a craft, not a job \u2014 driven by a vision to build better athletes, and more importantly, stronger people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Steve backs the next generation, no matter where they come from. Whether it\u2019s a first-time teen athlete or a Masters competitor returning from injury, his commitment remains the same: bring belief, structure, and heart into every moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a world where consistency is rare and shortcuts are tempting, Steve\u2019s presence is a reminder that greatness isn\u2019t found in comfort. It\u2019s built \u2014 session by session \u2014 through&nbsp;<strong>vision, dedication, and a refusal to settle for anything less than excellence.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At FAST Running, it\u2019s not unusual to see Steve Dodt jogging across a wet oval, stopwatch in one hand, resistance bands in the other, a tangle of mini hurdles slung over his shoulder.
