More About Coach Curtis
I focus on developing speed and acceleration, primarily with collegiate track athletes, and have also coached individually with HS athletes in baseball, football, soccer, and other sports for the past 9 years. I also spent 3 years training with and learning from the track coaches at ALTIS, an organization that consults with the Arizona Diamondbacks and trains pro track athletes.
Former professional decathlete with Nike, 2x NCAA Champion, USATF National Champion, 4th place at World Indoor Championships, 4x on Team USA, Gatorade National Player of the Year, Olympic Trials & USA Championships qualifier in the Decathlon, 800m, and Long Jump.
While each session is catered specifically to the client and his or her goals, the beginning will generally consist of a warm up with sprint drills, some static stretching & dynamic mobility exercises, and accelerations (ensuring good form throughout). With multi-sport athletes, I provide specific drills to work on technical running mechanics, while also simulating in-game activities to ensure the lessons learned in practice transfer to real game situations. I also give athletes some drills to work on at home and often take part in demonstrating exercises. My main priorities include keeping the experience fun, and allowing the athlete to leave with excellent biomechanics, sufficient strength & mobility, as well as solid mental resilience skills.

Jesse (CoachUp client)
Coach Curtis helped my son get into a DI track program. In addition to expert coaching, he also personally connected us with college coaches and spoke to them on our behalf, which ultimately led to a successful acceptance as a walk-on!! We’re extremely grateful for his help, and how he went beyond standard coaching duties to create new opportunities

Coach Curtis was a great fit for everything I was trying to learn. I was able to get better understanding of my events and be able to implement them. He was very helpful and is a great coach to have.
Jennifer (CoachUp client)
Coach Curtis was amazing with my two teenagers who are both new to track & field. He spent time watching each runner and gave them specific feedback as to what they should do. He spoke to them like they were adults, and they told me later how much they appreciated that. At the end, after doing several activities, he gave my husband and I an outline of what we can do going forward to help the boys achieve their goals. We look forward to more sessions with him.
Gary (CoachUp client)
Coach Curtis is great. After the first session with him we know that he would be able to help get me were I wanted to go.

Jim (CoachUp client)
Coach Curtis provides the best of both worlds. He has competed at high levels, but hasn't forgotten what it's like to learn the basic skills. He was extremely patient, insightful, and motivational. Everything I wanted for my daughter. Thank you!
