Reppin’ Fitness, the health and wellness interview series hosted by Coach Brick Headstrong, made its college campus debut at Misericordia University. In this special episode, President Dr. Dan Myers welcomed Coach Brick inside the Metz Fieldhouse for a candid conversation about leadership, movement, and the power of daily habits. Produced by Wilkes-Barre-based creative agency Coal Creative, the episode marks a meaningful step in the show’s mission to bring approachable fitness content into schools and communities.
Known for his incredible streak of running a 5K every single day for more than 13 years, Dr. Dan Myers opens up about how that commitment has shaped his leadership style, resilience, and connection to students. The two discuss how athletics influence campus culture, the importance of consistency, and the impact of showing up, even on the hard days.
The 22-minute episode explores:
- The story behind Myers’ 13-year running streak
- The “steps are reps” mindset and how it applies beyond fitness
- Misericordia’s investment in new sports, including women’s wrestling and stunt cheer
- Advice for student-athletes balancing academics and performance
- The role of movement in leadership, community, and mental health
The interview closes with the main event challenge, an arm-wrestling match between Coach Brick and the president. (The winner? You’ll have to watch!)
“We’re trying something different with Reppin’ Fitness, and I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Myers and Misericordia for taking a chance on it,” said Gerard Durling, creator of the series and founder of Coal Creative. “It’s not every day that a university president agrees to sit down with a character like Coach Brick, but it shows a real commitment to finding new ways to connect with students and start meaningful conversations about health and leadership.”
Reppin’ Fitness is available on YouTube, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms. New episodes also air weekly on public access television through PhillyCAM, helping expand the show’s reach to viewers and families across the Philadelphia region.
