Will first evaluate "where the athlete is" initially. then will design a tailored program depending on where they are. Normally my instruction is on the fundamentals of form and repetition. Also included is video so that the athlete can review at their own time where they are and what they need to do to continue with progress. Will also provide workouts that they can do on their own.
will spend a lot of time with drills, drills, and more drills......

Client Reviews

Coach Chris provides great advice to athletes to go along with excellent training from his experience in track both competing and coaching. He’s really easy for the athletes to get comfortable around with just a great attitude and drive to push the athletes to be their best!

Coach Chris is easy to work with and very knowledgeable. My athlete learned a lot about hurdle technique in her first session. Looking forward to continuing to work with Coach Chris.

Coach Chris is amazing! My daughter is only 2 sessions in and we’re blown away with her progress! The drills and encouragement are just what she needs!

Great coach! Very motivational and helpful.

I have been in the sports world for a long time and Coach Chris is as good of a teacher as I have seen. He also is great motivator of young people too. Chris has the rare ability of being a total technician diagnosing hurdlers and sprinters, while still having the ability to totally connect with the athlete, helping them comprehend the wisdom he offers. Unfortunately there are too many private and travel coaches that are fraudulent in what they claim they will provide. The improvement Chris brought to my son in just 1 session was remarkable and this has continued in the subsequent sessions. I wish I could get extra stars.

Great Coach!

Coach Chris is undoubtedly the Hurdle Whisperer! He really cares about his student athletes. Coach has given my son some great strategies to use in training and races.
We just finished our 3 purchased sessions but will be back for more and we drive 3 hours to go see him. Coach Chris is worth it!

Coach is an expert in the field. This isn’t easy work, yet our daughter looks forward to the training. He’s knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient!

My son enjoyed his first session! Excited to watch his growth!

Best hurdle coach in the state of Indiana

I’m just a few sessions, I’ve already seen tremendous improvement in my sons hurdle form and quickness over the hurdle. Definitely recommend Chris

After one session with Coach Chris, Kyden was inspired to return for more.

My daughter had a great session with Coach Chris! Looking to book more!

My daughters first session with Coach Norris and she enjoyed herself. He works well with youth athletes and is patient while providing them consistent instruction throughout their workouts. He is quick to congratulate & encourage them when they are showing progress on a particular drill or technique he is teaching. We will definitely be back

Coach Chris is fantastic! My daughter really enjoys training with him and he has helped her understand technique and improve her confidence.

Very patient and my daughter loved it.

Coach Norris is very personal and knows exactly how to train with deep detail and precision. He has the accessories and the recourses to make training much better. I have gone for a few weeks and I have already felt and seen amazing improvement I couldn’t have got without his help.

Great first session! My daughter loved Coach Chris…she is looking forward to her next session.

Coach Chris was great at being patient and taking things slow with my son. Had a great first session. Looking forward to many more.

Coach Norris has really helped me in the few times I have gone to him. I feel like I have already improved in the short amount of time I have spent with him.

Coach is constantly drilling form/technique and my daughter is making improvements with each session.

Coach Norris was very friendly and taught the proper hurdle form in a way that was easily understood and engaging

My session was great and I learned a lot! He showed me lots of drills that I’ve never done and I could see the results by the end!

Coach Chris is great!! Dedicated to his athletes and his coaching gets immediate results. We will be working with Chris weekly for the forseeable future!!!

Good session. Excellent teacher. Appreciate feedback. Look forward to next session.

Chris was wonderful. My daughter hadn't been coached in running hurdles by her high school coaches. Chris went thru many drills and was able to teach her proper technique in the first hr. She was greatful that Chris not only told her if she did something right or wrong but explained why it was right or wrong. Chris is very encouraging and our first experience was wonderful, we will be back.

Coach Chris gets 5 stars from me and my daughter. I would personally like to thank him for his time and patience with Kiara. His attention to detail and his expertise are clearly evident while working with not just Kiara but other athletes as well. She has learned so much in the short time she has been working with him. She looks forward to the workouts. So much so she said she wants to continue to work with him her entire athletic career. In addition to his excellence in coaching and motivation he is a better person. That I appreciate more than his coaching or his motivational skills. I look forward to a continued relationship.

Regards,

Allen Gibosn
