Way back in June of 2019 I had a conversation with Frank Mejia which appears in the podcast as, Frank Mejia: World Chase Tag, coaching, and competition. The opportunity to talk with him came up at the last minute and I dove in pretty unprepared. That was early days in the rise of World Chase Tag and it was fun to learn about what has now become a global phenomenon. (He reappeared on the show in 2022 in, Chase with Frank Mejia as part of a series of conversations with coaches who were presenting at the Move NYC event.)

What leads someone to transform personal passion for parkour into a career in coaching and movement education?

Frank Mejia discusses PK Move and Urban Evolution, and the path to how and why he became a coach. He reflects on his experience with World Chase Tag, explaining the game and its intricacies. Frank shares his thoughts on travel and the role it’s played in his journey, before wrapping up with his thoughts on competition.

Teaching is such a privilege. It’s so much fun to bring people up and show them this thing they didn’t think they could do.
