More About Coach Dalanda

Being involved in the sport of track and field as a participant and coach for over 20 years, I’m old enough to properly educate athletes with wisdom and young enough to demonstrate techniques. I am the current Head Sprints and Hurdle Coach at Twinsburg High School, in which I coached 6 Division 1 sprinters to an overall 2nd place team finish at the 2018 Ohio State Track Meet and the Girl’s Sprint Medley to a US #3 time in 2019. I have also been the Head Coach at Shaw HS, have worked as an Assistant Coach at Shaker Hts. High School, and was the Founder and Head Coach of the AAU team Elite Track Club of Northeast Ohio, were 90% of my athletes advanced to the AAU Junior Olympics. I have coached athletes at the youth, high school, and collegiate levels, additionally, I am CPR and First Aid certified and I have a valid Ohio Pupil activity permit. I am also a certified personal trainer and can assist my clients in weight gain, weight loss, and strength training for ages 7 and up in all sports.

As an athlete in the sport, I’m a 5X All-American hurdler/sprinter at the high school and collegiate level, a 4X State Champion in the 100m hurdles and 300m hurdles, and the current State, Regional, and District Record Holder for the 100m hurdles in Ohio. I was named one of Northeast Ohio’s GREASTEST Female Athletes by USA Today High School Sports in 2013, and earned the opportunity to be a member of the USA Junior Pan American team. I went on to compete for The Ohio State University where I earned All-American and Big Ten honors. After I graduated from college, I went on to play professional football for the women’t Legends Football League as a tight end, and defensive end.

Sessions are tailored specifically to the needs of individual athletes. They are usually small groups, however 1:1 training is also available. Sessions are generally an hour in length, where athletes are instructed on the proper form and technique to improve speed. They are put through specific speed drills and assessed regularly to monitor progress.

Dalanda is fantastic at assessing the athlete, finding their strengths and areas that need support. She is an incredible coach and works with the whole athlete not just in running but emotionally.in this way, the sessions are highly effective. Fortunate to have her working with us.

We were so impressed with Coach Dalanda. She is the real deal. We loved how she wanted to have a consultation with our daughter to make sure she wanted to do this and it was not us forcing her to do this. Dalanda is so articulate and we learned her background was in education and you certainly could tell. She spoke about the whole person and not just the athlete. I mentioned to my daughter, who was the one who did the research and found Dalanda, she found an outstanding coach, and human being who will help her do great things on and off the field.

Coach Dalanda is an absolutely great coach. Helped my son improve dramatically in the last few weeks of the season. Will be working her moving forward. Great with technique and motivation to get the most out of athletes. We are more than pleased!

Coach D began as Riah's track coach and has been training her since she was in the 8th grade. Riah ran track in the 7th grade and qualified for the district meet for the 4x2 and 4x4 relays, as well as 400 m. Her 4x2 was disqualified because she went out of her lane. Her 4x4 lost miserably, and her open 400 m she false started and was disqualified. Needless to say she was crushed. Over the summer she worked with Coach D. She qualified again for districts in 8th grade. Her 4x2 relay broke the middle school record, her 4x4 relay team came in first, and she came in first for her 400m. She has been working with Coach D for only a few weeks recently and in only a few sessions her form, strength,and speed has increased dramatically. She is running her 400m under 59 currently and working to get to a faster time before the end of her outdoor season. Coach D is very professional and pushes her athletes to their full potential. We HIGHLY recommend her as a training coach.

Coach Jackson is amazing! Her knowledge and experience are unmatched but she is also a great teacher. Coach Jackson explains techniques and workouts in a way that is very understandable and my daughter has learned so much already in short amount of time. She is a great to work with. My daughter is having a blast and has already gotten her personal best in hurdles at her first meet of the year.

Great consultation! We are looking forward to getting started.

Hey Coach I set PRs for both. 2nd in the 300’s, 5th In the 110’s, and 1st in the 4x4 we broke the record!
OMG Arriah killed the 100, 400 and anchored the 4x2 all gold. J popped it off and Roadrunner brought it home with a lean in. Bananas
She said she feels strong and she is leading the practices. You put a lot of work in this summer with her.
