More About Coach Dennis
I've been teaching and developing athletes for over 15 years. I've coached at the youth, high school, university, and professional levels. I've served as a collegiate track and field coach at the University of North Florida, Saginaw Valley State University, Tiffin University, and Kennesaw State University. Typically, I work with children as young as eight years old as well as senior athletes who are still competing. I've held prior certifications in USATF, Heads Up! Concussion In Youth Sports, CPR, and AED.
Throughout high school and college, I competed at an elite level. I attended the University of Florida where I was a National Champion and Multi All-American.

All clients can expect a session that is tailored to their athletic abilities. In preparation for the workout ahead, a normal session will always begin with a warm up, hip mobility drills, and speed drills. Sprinting from a standing start, 3-point start, 4-point start, sled pulls, and overspeed training are examples of common acceleration days. The training may concludes with some brief speed endurance runs and a cool down lap to end the session.
