More About Coach Coach Candy

I’ve been coaching track and field and running a fitness business for over 20 years. I started a track club in Georgia "Major Impact Track Club" and Major Impact Texas where our kids compete for USATF and AAU. In addition, I coached at Georgia State University for two years. I also have been coaching at a high school level since 2002 and am currently doing that. I am currently coaching Greenhill Middle and High School Track Teams. I train kids from elementary school age up to professional athletes. I am extremely passionate about coaching and working with youths by helping them to maximize there athletic talents. My expertise is in sprints and hurdles/400m to mid distance. I am Level 1 USATF Certified and work with my Major Impact Track Club. I specialize in speed training for football players to help with their 40 times and speed on the field for different positions. Additionally, I coach speed and agility for athletes in different sports such as volleyball, basketball, football, tennis, baseball, soccer and etc. I love working with youths and I emphasize not only the fitness aspect of the sport itself but I focus heavily on techniques.

I competed at Arizona State University for 4 years on a full athletic track scholarship. I was the University's top 400m hurdler for all 4 years and I am currently on the all time list in school history. I earned All-American honors for my performances and have several conference honors as well. In addition, I broke the Georgia state high record and am currently the record holder in both the best 100 relay, 400m and 300m hurdles for my high school. In addition, I am on the all time list for 300m hurdles in state of Georgia. In 2012 I competed at the Track and Field Olympic Trials in Jamaica in the 400m hurdles.

For my training sessions, I first do an evaluation of the athlete by sitting with them and going over there expectations and there track events with them and explain my program to them. After briefing, I take the athlete through a warmup including running a lap or 2 warmup laps will change depending on the athlete specific track events. Athlete will also do a number of sprint running drills such as A Skips, B Skips, Bounding, High Knees and etc. This will help athlete work on form and helping with there warmups. After sprint drills i will have the athlete do some additional stretching and some short 30m sprints to help warmup the muscles. The athlete will then go into the actual running workout that day. For example, If I am working with a hurdler that session I will take athlete through hurdle drills such as hurldle hops, A skips over hurdles, walk overs working on hip flexors and etc. I then will go into hurdle running workout such as, 4× 200 hurdles timed if that athlete is working on the longer hurdles. If I am working with a sprinter, mid- distance, distance runner I will design there workouts accordingly and plan and taylor there workouts based on there events and where they are in the season. At the end of practice, I have the athlete do cool down jog and some strectching a short core circuit.

Coach Candy focused on getting to know my daughter on the first day. She gave lots of feedback and helped her understand where she can get to with her goals. Coach Candy is devoted to making sure there is a positive learning atmosphere while driving the athlete to work hard.

Awesome and Incredible Coach and training! My daughter enjoyed her session with Coach Candy and it’s exactly what she needed, along with the positive feedback and direction.

My daughter was very nervous and was getting frustrated with what she didn’t know. But she said she was comfortable with the coaching. We most definitely will be scheduled continuing training

My high school son has been working with Coach Candy a couple of times a week for about a month. He thoroughly enjoys his training and looks forward to them each week. She is a perfect combination of incredibly encouraging and tough; offering positive feedback, pushing him during practices and reinforcing how important remaining disciplined, sleep and a healthy diet are for young athletes.

My daughter really enjoyed working with Coach Candy on refining her sprinting technique. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about helping her students develop and grow. We look forward to future sessions.

She was amazing, worked on techniques and overall mindset. Just what my daughter needed!

Coach Candida is an awesome coach. My son learned so much in just one session and he can’t wait to continue learning/practicing with her. She is very professional, knowledgeable and motivating. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to advance as an athlete.

Coach Candida was extremely responsive, easy to work with and knowledgeable. I learned a lot and could feel a difference after the first session.

My daughters first training was fun. Coach Candida was warm and friendly and showed her new techniques. She also made an effort to get to know my daughter who enjoyed her session!

Coach Candida long time track experience is what was an eye catcher for me and helped in my decision of booking a session with her for my daughter. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about track. The first session was an assessment where she went over some important drills with my daughter and at the same time getting to know my daughter which was important to me. My daughter really likes her and is really looking forward to future sessions with the Coach and I am really excited to see some nice improvements this track season.

Coach Candy taught me technique to run faster and more efficiently. She explained the drills and gave excellent advice for breathing and endurance training.

So happy I found coach Candi! She is very knowledgeable and passionate about track. She starts with the fundamentals and explains the proper techniques and WHY those techniques are important. I’m excited about running again! Can’t wait to continue training with her!

Coach Candida was very thorough and patient. We are very excited to continue training with her!

Coach Candi was awesome. She went through several skill drills to see where Molly was and then gave her things to work on. Molly said she learned more in that hour than she did the whole year in school running track. She said that Coach Candi was easy to listen to and she took time to explain what to do but most importantly why to do it. She is really awesome. You literally could see improvement in the one session.

So lucky we found her. Coach Candida knows how to make you faster, boys or girls, high school, college, etc. Very results oriented, skilled, professional, and experienced with maximizing sprinting form for performance, which is difficult to find in a coach.

Coach Candida was fantastic. She did a great job working with my son on the mechanics and fundamentals of running.I would for sure use her again.

Coach Candy was amazing! My daughter learned so much in one lesson about proper running technique than she has this entire track season! Then Coach Candy worked w her on hurdles and she shaved off 5 seconds on the 300m hurdles and 2 seconds on the 100m hurdles. And she made the experience so fun and exciting!

Coach Candi has been so helpful to my 14 Y/O daughter since we started training with her last month. We’ve been focused on the hurdles and we’ve seen great improvement in my daughter’s performance. Coach Candi communicates very effectively with her and the drills have been very beneficial. My daughter loves the training and is looking forward to continue with Coach. I’d highly recommend her!

Best coach for track! Very professional and honest, is an expert in her field, enjoys what she does, works great with kids, and has connections to help kids extend opportunities where applicable. I wish I had find her 5 years ago!

We Love Coach Candida, our girls are already seeing great progress working with her.

I love the way she coaches and she takes it slow so you can understand. Her attitude is very good ,and you can see that she wants to help you get better.

Awesome Coaching! Candida worked with my daughter on hurdles and sprints! She is a pro with kids! She really knows how to motivate them and get them towards their ultimate goals! I look forward to having her work with my daughter in the future! She is very patient and professional!!! I highly recommend her for any child/adult that wants to "UP" their game!

Coach Candida is an awesome coach, knowledgeable, personable and coaches with an uplifting postitive attitude. Cannot wait until the next training session!

I have become an all around better sprinter becoming faster and stronger. I started running 200m at 23.74 and now I am running 20.9 at the University of Maryland with the help of Coach Candy.
Thanks to Coach Candy I have shaved off many seconds in my events and I am now one of the top athlete In the state of Georgia and now attending GA Tech on a track scholarship.
