More About Coach Aaeron
In Hartford, Connecticut I was an Assistant Coach for the Capital City Track Club. I have coached athletes between the ages of 5 and 21 years of age. With my help, athletes have competed at High school nationals, the Junior Olympics and collegiately.
I have competed in track and field for a total of 9 years with five of these years being at the University of Connecticut. I am proud to say my name, alongside three other individuals hold the current 4x400m record for the university. In addition I was apart of two AAC conference champion teams taking the win against a few highly competive teams.
Training is tailored to a clients’ specific needs, wants and events they compete in. If I am training an athlete in the 400m dash, strength and a strong base are essential for ultimimate growth. After weeks of building up the individual’s base, speed and agility are to follow. Focusing on technique will be something incorporated throughout training depending on the needs of the athlete. Special drills for core strength, stride frequency and form are all essential things that will be worked on and implemented into the workouts more heavily as training progresses. The start of training workouts will be hard and long with very little rest. Toward the end of the training season workouts will be short, speedy and aggressive with longer recovery time.

Nyandah Robinson (Testimonial)
Dear Sirs, This letter serves to advise that I have personally known Mr. Aaeron Sykes for the past 3 years. I have had the pleasure to work with Mr. Sykes through him coaching my sons and their track team. Mr. Sykes’ passion and dedication to his coaching has translated into great performances by the Athletes he coaches. Under his guidance and mentorship my son a sophomore has secured the 300M State Open title for CT, this past indoor season. As of date of writing, he also won the 200M and 400M titles for Class M Outdoor Championship and is now preparing for State Opens Aaeron is very knowledgeable of his craft as he not only train their bodies, but he also incorporates mental training and practice of proper nutrition as well. He ensures that he understands his athletes on an individual basis and helps them to implement a strategy that works according to their individual abilities. His natural care for his athletes is evident as he always follow up to review their performances and make changes and or adjustments where necessary. We were deeply saddened when He left Connecticut, however, this move did not hinder him in any way to coach over the telephone. It is because of these qualities I unreservedly recommend Mr. Sykes to any organization. I am completely positive that he will be an asset wherever he goes. Best regards,

Shyaan Sinclair - Coach at Capital City Track Club (Testimonial)
I had the pleasure of working / coaching with Aaeron Sykes for two years. He is a remarkable young man and a great insipiration. The athletes were naturally drawn to him as a coach and an individual. He led the athletes by example, being that he was in college and on his college track team at the same time. The Athletes were able to see that he had to practice what he preached to them in regards to keeping his grades and school work up while participating in a sport. He was always encouraging and empathetic, taking the time to listen to the athlete’s concerns and addressing them. I feel that he will be a great asset as a coach to your team.
Kymali Hay - Athlete (Testimonial)
WHere do I start...When I met Coach Aaeron, I never thought I would the bond I have with him now. The first time he came to my practices kids that we’re in the track club before me all started to run to him and give him hugs, and I wondered why they did that. Less than a month later I noticed why he was one of everyone’s favorite Coach. From the time I started training with him until the time he left there wasn’t no easy ything was hard. Sometimes I would think to myself is this all necessary, but ten he would hit me with his famous quote, “have I ever lied to you about these workouts and how they can help you become faster?” At times I would just say yes, but over time I would see myself benefitting from the training. When I found out Coach was moving to Pennsylvania it hit me hard though I just met him not too long ago. Even though Coach had left he will always be there for me even if it’s through a text or phone call... He will always be there for me!
Zeandrea Ward - Athlete (Testimonial)
Coach Aaeron, this is truly from the bottom of my heart...when I first met you I knew there was something different about you than any other coach. It was your compassion towards me with not only track but my life. No other coach is like you you Coach Aaeron. I wouldn’t be able to call anyone so early or late to get just one piece of advice. Furthermore, you always believe in my capabilities as an athlete, you know my strengths and my weaknesses. You don’t just look at me and tell me what’s good or what’s wrong, you break it down and show me exactly what I need to do. If I listened to everything you've ever told me I would have been a lot faster. Everything clicked in my head this year. I should have listened to you sooner, seriously. Also you took out time to help me for my future and have me knowing that I am a gifted athlete. You see so much potential in me. A lot of people believe in me but I give it to you Coach Aaeron. When I had very bad shin splints and my muscles always ached, you took out time when you didn’t have to and helped me. You never gave up on me and that shows you put others needs before your own. Because of this I love track even more. Coach you are a role model to me and I look up to you. It is my last year running track in highschool and all I want to do is make you proud.
