More About Coach Darren
Hello, my name is Darren!
I am 25 years old and I have extensive first hand experience in running track and field. I began running track in 2004 in an effort to get faster for football; but I quickly fell in love with the sport. From 15 through the age of 22, I enjoyed the sport of Track and Field. I started running at DuVal High School, then finally; I ran 4 years of collegiate track at Bowie State University.
On the track, I specialized in the short sprinting events (indoor, 55/60 meter dash; outdoor 100m dash, 4x100m relay). I was the captain of the Men's Track and Field team at Bowie State University in 2010. I also won the 2/3A Prince George's County Bronze Medal in the 55m dash my senior year in high school.
During my time at Bowie State University, I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to work for Montgomery County Recreation and Parks. During the summer's, I created workouts for (and led) speed camps. Also, in 2012 I was the defensive coordinator for the 150lb Palmer Park Boys and Girls Club football team. During that season, my team we 11-0 and won the championship. Also, former teammates in track and football alike consistently ask me to come out and speak to their team, give them new workouts, or just come out and train with them.
A typical session with me is fun (working hard = fun), constructive, and innovative. We will sit down in the beginning and define your individual goals and expectations and it is my job to push you to reach that plateau and beyond. Whatever we discuss and agree you need to focus on is what your individual workouts will be catered to. I can develop your skills in many areas, but I specialize in: strength building, core building, flexibility, overall running back improvement, overall defensive back improvement, quickness, hand eye coordination, catching, route running, speed, explosion, and endurance building.
I love to help, I love the game. Nothing is better than giving back and helping others to realize their full potential!
