Coach Young was excellent and my daughter enjoyed her teachings. She introduced techniques that improved her performance and overall skills.

Coach Young was amazing. I watched how just in this first session she pushed my son to give her all he had. She gave him the constructive criticism that he needs to make improvements where need be. She made sure he did not quit on himself. This first session was all that I could expect and more. So much so, until my son is willing to drive one hour away from home to meet with Coach Young. I would HIGHLY recommend her to everybody that is serious about this sport and trying to help there kid to get to the next level in training.

Amazing! She knows her stuff. Very helpful and very kind! I’m so thankful I stumbled upon her. So thankful

Coach Dannette was exactly what we needed for our 10th grader! She has just the right amount of warmth and caring mixed with hard work that builds strong athletes and character. My daughter who is a late starter to track came away confident and excited to put the techniques she learned into practice. It also doesn’t hurt to dream for yourself when you’re being trained by an Olympic athlete! We look forward to the next session.

Coach Young, was great in identifying what my daughter needed and spent time explaining how each rep will help her on the track. I’m excited and well enjoy the process.

Coach Young(D) session with my niece Kristin today was a breath of fresh air for me. In mins. of them starting I knew she was what Kristin was missing in her technique areas. Coach D did everything perfectly from start to finish. She understood what Kristin needed&went straight to work on correcting it. In one session Kristin gained great knowledge of what she didn't know,her mistakes,how to correct them&exactly what&where she should be in her races from start to finish. She's a coach that utilizes her time very well because she is a coach that knows what she is doing! I personally plan on promoting CoachUp& Coach Young(D) because if we would have known about them earlier Kristin could've worked with her for a very long time. If you have a promising young athletes that you are looking to start grooming SHE IS WORTH EVERY BIT OF YOUR TIME&MONEY!!!!!!

Exceeded expectation with brief assessment of by 8 year old and 9 year old daughters. It's the girls second year running track. We have been with a track club but recently had to go unattached in order to participate in the USATF Youth District Meet. As the girls father I will be working with them but I wanted them to also get some professional training. Coach Stone was able to immediately see their weaknesses and was able to show them some new stretches, drills, and etc that will definitely help them. Very professional and the girls enjoyed working with her. Look forward to working with her in the near future.

Coach Stone was great! My daughter is completely new to track but coach made her feel welcomed and comfortable. My daughter stated she loved the training session! Coach Stone has that rare mix of expertise and soft skills. She knows how to teach and encourage at the same time.

Coach Dannette Young was awesome. After only a couple of sessions I see my daughter has more confidence in her running. Coach Young provides great feedback and encouragement. We will definitely be back.... Thank you Coach Young

Coach Young is helping my son with skills and techniques that he's never been taught. After only 2 sessions, there is improvement. We look forward to a long-term relationship with her. She is amazing!

During My practice session Coach Stone not only taught me how to get my speed up but encouraged me that I could do better . After every rep I could see that I was getting faster because I listened to everything she told me to achieve my goal during the session. Coach Stone also taught me in a way that was easy for me to understand.Coach Stone also is very easy to get along with and one of the nicest people person you could meet.

Coach Dannette has been GREAT to work with so far, she has been very patient and accommodating in working with our daughter. This is her first year running track, and she is taking all the necessary steps to ensure that she is learning the proper technique and the little advantages a runner has in short distances and lane positioning. Her experience and wisdom is priceless!

Thanks in advance,

Dedric :-)

Good instruction on techniques. Lowered 100 and 200 times for new prs at weekend match.

Coach Young is an awesome coach. She works hard and she expects me to work hard as well. She has great coaching/training techniques and she pushes me to be the best that I can be. She has tons of patience and it is clearly obvious that she loves what she does. I would recommend Coach Young any day of the week!

Great coach, she pays attention to details. Is a great motivator and a positive role model. She is bringing my grandson to another level is his track career. His progress has been amazing to watch. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to go a step farther with their track career.

Coach stone has designed an awesome age and ability appropriate training program for my daughter. As all athletes: needs, strengths, ages, weaknesses, temperaments, objectives and goals are different, a coach has to take in consideration all these variables when training them. Well Coach Stone has done just that. She took the time to properly assess my daughters athletic abilities (strengths and weaknesses) and has designed and implemented an appropriate program.
Coach stone is a phenomenal coach because she possess a plethora of knowledge and experience. She helps my daughter with understanding how important it is to have good nutritional habits. She is very articulate and is able to convey in a clear fashion what she needs my daughter to do to reach her goals. She also leads by example. Coach stone is also able to demonstrate the drills to ensure my daughter learns how to perform them properly.

Coach stone is fostering an awesome coach-athlete relationship with my daughter which is being built on trust, respect, and hard work from both ends (coach and athlete). She has become a great mentor to my daughter and is always looking out for her best interests. I am very excited about the the growth and progression of my daughter as an athlete and person under the instruction of Coach Stone.

Coach Stone is a coach who is totally committed to her coaching strategies and training. I have learned a lot from coach Stone which help me excel in the sport. Since being under Coach Stone I have gain a lot of experience and have gotten better in my time and strength. It’s a blessing to have Coach Stone as a coach. She’s a great motivator and a wonderful person. What a blessing to have a great coach.
Here is Candace testimonial: My track coach, Coach D. Stone, has been a constant source of inspiration, motivation, encouragement, and support. With her gentle yet firm guidance, I have clarity in my purpose as a sprinter and a strategy to translate my dreams into reality. She has helped me navigate through the rough terrains, held me up when I was down, and cheered me on when I am on a roll. Coach Stone has kept me accountable to never give up, taught me new skills, and always reminded me to value myself. I know with out coach Stone I couldn't have accomplished my dream as an JR.
