More About Coach David
I have coaching experience on multiple levels form high school to university to professional with success on all levels ranging from team championships to individual championships.
I competed on multiple levels from high school state champ in 200/400 to university champion in multiple events from 55m to 200m and relays. Won most points scored award twice, won most outstanding performance award twice, 8 time big 8 champion from indoors/outdoors, 13 time All-American honors.
Made the world student games teams in 93 and 95 where in 93 we won the 4x100 relay gold and in 95 won the 100m gold and 4x100m relay gold. Qualified for 96 Olympic trials in 100 and 200m. After getting injured before 2000 Olympic trials I went on to turn my focus to Coaching where I had many athletes qualify for either the USA team or their countries Olympic team. I’ve coach several athletes that have won either Olympic or world championship metals as well as one of my sprinters was in the WR race with Usain Bolt.
The main focus will be on proper mechanics and technique along with event specific training. However depending on the need of the athlete I do have a year round program with base training and conditioning as well. The other focus will be on proper warmup and event prep to proper nutrition and rest.

Client Reviews
Carol (CoachUp client)
Coach David is amazing to work with. He is definitely a true track coach and knows in depth what needs to be done to move faster. Additionally, his friendly demeanor makes workouts enjoyable and encouraging. I highly recommend Coach David.
Olympian Monzavous Rae Edwards (Testimonial)
I’ve been working with Dave since I was in Jr. College. I worked with him during 2003 and made the Workd Championship team for USA. I’ve had a stellar career in track and field and had retried after Rio ‘16 after not being able to compete due to paper issues. When I decided to come back out of retirement and run again I knew who I needed to call to come back and train me. My guy David Oaks.
