More About Coach Aaron
I am the current high jump coach at Palo Alto High School (my alma mater!), where I design and lead technical training sessions focused on event-specific skill development, approach consistency, and competition readiness. I also work with athletes ranging from middle school through the collegiate level, tailoring instruction to each stage of development, whether it's foundational movement patterns or advanced technical refinement. My workout plans pull directly from my own training and experience within 2 high-major NCAA Division I programs (UCLA, UMiami).

I offer private coaching, group training, training plans, and virtual consultations.
Generally, my sessions look like this:
1. Warm up (dynamic stretching, mobility, sprint drills, mat drills)
2. High jump tech (visualization/approaches/jumps/specific drills/plyometrics)
3. Cool down/Prehab
My job as a coach is to provide athletes with a deep understanding of the event in all of its technical components, and I pride myself as a technician. But high jump is unique in that while demanding physical ability, it's not always the most physically gifted that win. How can that be? Because above all, clearing bars is a mental feat. I work relentlessly with my athletes on building confidence, on being able to SEE themselves succeed before even taking a jump. And over time, that confidence will follow them off the track and into their lives.

Client Reviews
Taylor - Former Teammate (Testimonial)
I had the pleasure of being Aaron’s teammate at the University of Miami. During that time, Aaron demonstrated numerous qualities beyond extensive knowledge and understanding of the sport that makes him a phenomenal coach. When combining his empathetic nature with passion, drive, and genuine desire to see others succeed, it develops a coach that fosters an environment where people feel comfortable coming to him in hard times as well as times of prosperity. Aaron has an impeccable eye for detail that makes him the perfect coach for all levels of training and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their track and field performance to the next level.
Eric - Former Teammate (Testimonial)
Aaron was the kind of teammate every organization hopes to have—someone who leads by example, holds himself accountable, consistently encourages those around him, and brings an energy that elevates the entire team. Beyond his professionalism, Aaron has a genuinely big heart; he cares deeply about people, and his positivity, integrity, and willingness to support others make everyone around him better.
Hiral - Parent (Testimonial)
I highly recommend Aaron Kim as a high jump coach! My daughter worked with him in her 6th grade season. She placed 1st at regionals in her very first season. More than the outcome, she made many improvements across the sessions. Aaron taught her everything — warm-up routines, form, and the mental preparation to compete with confidence. His encouragement was fantastic and kept her motivated throughout. Any athlete would be lucky to have him as a coach!
