Client Reviews
Jacob (CoachUp client)
This was my first time meeting Coach Bill. Right away he was able to give me advice as well as things to work on. He also introduced me to new warmups as well as drills. He is very well versed on the topic of throwing. I would highly recommend him as a coach and I look forward to my next coaching session.
Stephanie (CoachUp client)
Coach Bill was extremely helpful. He had a lot of helpful tips and was very patient!
Jennifer (CoachUp client)
Coach Bill was absolutely amazing! In my daughter's first session, he taught her some drills and helped her to correct her form. He is very patient and takes his time with her. He really is knowledgeable about all events in track and field. We will most definitely be continuing coaching sessions with Coach Bill!
Nancy (CoachUp client)
Great practice session with Coach Bill- he was very helpful giving my daughter guidance and some new techniques to try in practicing her throwing (She only does throwing/ field events). Coach Bill was quite knowledgeable about the mechanics of throwing, and as my daughter practices and uses his suggestions she should get more distance (and confidence) in her throwing. Easy to work with, he was flexible in scheduling and in accommodating our location. Very positive experience with Coach Bill!
Jacki (CoachUp client)
Coach Bill really helped with his starts! He looks a lot quicker coming out of the blocks.
Mary Jo (CoachUp client)
Coach Bill is a GREAT COACH! He gave me a lot of good advice in areas I needed practice on. I would definitely recommend him to other athletes.
Jeremy Duehring (Testimonial)
Jeremy Duehring, Rhode Island: I found BIll through a good friend of mine. I had started running more consistently and was looking for a coach that could focus my efforts in a way that could attain some personal goals with my running. After only a few months, I more than exceeded my first short distance goal. Then, I was well on my way to my 10K goal such that I needed to adjust my initial target pace just to account for my improvements from following Bill's plans! I can't believe how much stronger of a runner I have become over the 6-7 months of working with Bill. I have NEVER felt this good about my running and wake up each day looking forward to my runs more than ever before. The best thing I ever did for my running, is begin working with Bill. I am a much smarter runner, more consistent than ever before and confident about my abilities. I enjoy working with Bill and would recommend him to anyone. Absolutely more than worth the value. Looking forward to a wonderful 2014 working with Bill!
