More About Coach Christopher

I have over 15 years experience coaching Track and Field on the varsity and college level, for both boys and girls. I have preciously coached at Plainfield High School and Bloomfield College, and currently the Head coach at St Benedict’s Prep School. I am a certified USATF level 1 and level 2 coach in sprints, hurdles, and relays.

In my high school years I was a 2 time NJSIAA State Champion in the 55 high hurdles and in the 110m High Hurdles, and earned an All-American Status 3 times. After High School, I attended Essex County College, where I also earned an All-American Status. After transferring to Saint Augustine's College in Raleigh, NC, I was coached by George Williams, the 2004 Head Olympic Track and Field coach. During my years at St Augustine's College, I became a 6 time NCAA All-American in the High Hurdles and Relays.

My sessions focus on introducing, building on, or maintaining proper form and techniques, in all areas relating to speed. I use specialized speed and mobility drills, bounding, and plyometrics for the development of explosive muscle groups. I ensure that my clients understand the purpose of the drills and exercises that I create for them. For clients interested in hurdles training, I also focus on hip mobility. My athletes starts off with a 15 minute warm-up and include proper stretching.

Coach Christopher was very welcoming. He trained my daughter on small technique that she can do to improve on her events. And He takes his time and demonstrates how the drill should be done and he informs you on what a specific technique is used for, I recommend him to all that wants one on one training!!!!!

As a parent, I would like to point out that coach Christopher is very professional, focused, he is extremely serious regarding his profession. He strives to provide his clients with quality service. I wish my son had started working with Christopher a year ago. He is always well prepared with his equipment when we arrive.
My desire is to see my son move to the next level and I strongly fell Christopher will get him there. I will recommend him to anyone who ask and suggest to anyone who shares the same concerns I had to try working with Coach Christopher.
My Son’s opinion on his coach and his sessions;
He great at assessment and moves at the students pace, he has shown me new drills/exercises and techniques based on his evaluation of my current skills. I can see an improvement after my 4 sessions. He is very friendly, energetic, and encouraging.

Chris is a very knowledgeable, energetic, patient and insightful coach. I am a former D1 track scholarship athlete and as my son's dad it is hard to get my son to follow my every instruction. 7 year old son warmed up to Coach Chris quite quickly and by the end of the first session showed form improvement. The drills he taught my son corrected some the issues that have been plaguing him this season. With continued repetition and reinforcement, my son should see the results on the track. Chris is a quality choice for a private coach and knows his stuff. He cares about the end result and I am sure most will be happy working with Chris.

When the session was over with Coach Christopher, my daughter turned to me, gave me two thumbs up and said he's the one. It only took one session to realize that Couch Christopher is the trainer that will help my daughter reach her fullest potential. He was knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. We are definitely looking forward to more training sessions with Coach Chris!!!

Excellent!! My son is a Junior and has been looking for a reputable Hurdle Coach to take his races to the next level. We chose Coach Christopoher for his vast experience as a Hurdler/Sprinter. We travel 45 min for our sessions and well worth it. Each race my son is shaving time and his technique is becoming more natural, fluid. Wish we found him last year.

Coach Chris was terrific. My learned a lot and enjoyed the training.

I'm feeling more explosive in my legs in just a few sessions with Coach Chris it's magical

Coach Christopher is a great coach and really knew his stuff. He was attentive and gave great feedback. My daughter, 14, was impressed with his training plan and he recognized her talents and focused on her needs. We are definitely booking more sessions.

My son had his first session today, and I was extremely impressed. Chris knows how professional sprinters are trained, and he is using that knowledge and experience to train my 15 year-old son. He is also very motivating and communicative. I did a lot of research before picking Chris, and both my son and I are thrilled that we found him. He is the definitely the real deal.

Coach Christopher arrives early and stays late. He exemplifies the commitment to excellence required to take an athlete to the next level. He has tremendous expertise and in one session can motivate an athlete to pursue their dream. Knowledge plus action equals results.

Today was my first day working with coach Christopher. It turned out expectedly great after a very packed and intense training. Coach Christopher is a very knowledgable and easy going person, after evaluating all the coaches available on CoachUp, it is obvious why he is the best choice personally. As an international student, it is great to know coach Christopher after coming from Taiwan to seek for a good training to improve on my skills and techniques (speed and endurance). That is, I will book more sessions with him because of his great tactical way of approach in training track and field for a perfect run.

I had my first session with Chris last week. After just one session I already feel like my sprinting mechanics and form are greatly improved. I have booked multiple session with him for the rest of June because I feel he will take my racing ability to a level I would not have achieved on my own! Thank you for the dedication and skill that you bring to each session!
