More About Coach Douglyss

I am a USATF Level 1 Coach with 4 years experience coaching competitive kids and high school track and field athletes. I specialize in sprints, middle distance and horizontal jumps (long and triple jump). I do not coach the throws or high jump. I have taken one young female athlete from beginner to winning a silver medal at the Bay State Games in long jump. I have also coached 2 Middlesex League All-Stars in the triple jump. Most importantly, I am not just a "trainer", I am a coach. There are many good trainers here that can teach skills and prescribe workouts. Coaching also requires the ability to build belief, motivation, and habit in the athlete.

I ran track in high school and college, and continue to train and compete today in events from 800m to ultramarathons, trail races, and multi-day stage races.

Any training will begin with an understanding of the athlete's current abilities and goals. Sessions are typically broken into 3 sections -- skills development, event training, and strength training. It is important to break any event into the necessary skills, and to constantly build those skills. Event training focuses on specific workouts for that event. Strength training is necessary not only for developing muscles for the event, but for injury prevention.

Coach Doug was fantastic with my 14 year old daughter! She has had a rest from training for 9 months and he worked with her to develop a plan to first develop a base to prevent injury. He carefully assessed her form using video, tailored exercises to modify her form, and was enthusiastic and patient. Doug followed up the session with a summary of the training, form correction, and exercises for the next couple of weeks. My daughter really enjoyed his positive style. Thank you!.

Douglyss is helping my sons develop some running techniques. It was impressive to see how he establishes constructive relationship with them in a matter of minutes. I also appreciate that he was very quick to identify the individual areas where each of the boys needed improvement, very much in line with my own observation, and deploy specific training plans to address those areas.

I feel confident to highly recommend Douglyss to anyone who needs training to hone running skills.

thanks,
Hayk.

Just one lesson so far and very helpful. I’m a complete novice and just running for the bus hurt. I sought out Doug to help me develop proper form. It may take some work, but I definitely came to the right place.

Excellent session and review of form, training tactics and race strategies. Highly recommend for track athletes.

Coach Douglyss was great with my 13 year old daughter!! After one session she learned a few strategic moves to help improve how she runs the 800m and gave her a lot of confidence that she can improve her times long-term with good coaching and guidance. We will definitely be signing up for more as we move into the spring season :-)

Coach Douglyss is a great coach! I had just one session with him for my son to analyze his running form. Awesome.!! Douglyss is a true coach. What a great demeanor he has with kids and adults, very smart, great communicator, and has a true passion for helping people. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone. My Son is already improving and loving it. Special thanks to Douglyss and I cant wait to see him again.

Sincerely, William C.

I would highly recommend Coach Dougylss for any high school athlete. He came well prepared, energetic, honest and knowledgeable to help my daughter work on sprints and long jump. He had a very "stay in the moment" attitude and his recommendation to break things down and work on one step at a time really resonated with her! We will definitely be booking more sessions!

I didn’t know what to expect when I signed up to meet a running coach. Douglyss was friendly, approachable,knowledgeable and well prepared for our session. He made me feel comfortable me to ask questions and he made things easy to understand. I left there with so much information and techniques to practice to become a better runner. I cannot wait till our next meeting after I have practiced the new techniques. I have recommended Douglyss to several of my running friends. Thanks Douglyss!!!

Coach Douglyss is everything you want in a coach. Most notably, he is informative, straightforward, and analytical. He clearly enjoys being asked questions and certainly is well educated on a variety of relevant topics. The feedback I have received is invaluable in not only improving myself but also staying injury-free. I would highly recommend Coach Doug as I am confident he will assist and educate you with your goals as he continues to do so for me.

Doug was extremely knowledgeable about running and at my first video session provided a wealth on information to me. He was also great at telling me the areas in which I can improve.

Coach Douglyss is great to work with. He is extremely knowledgable and developed a rapport with my 15 year-old-son quickly. We gave him a clear plan and feedback. We look forward to working with him again in the next few weeks.

My 15 y/o daughter met with Coach Doug to get help with her LJ and TJ. His approach was excellent, breaking the entire workout into key components. Warmups, run through, drills, and video work to understand areas for improvement. He highlighted what she was doing well and provided a solid game plan of what to work on next following the session. We would highly recommend him and will work with him again!

Coach Douglyss was very effective in time management and coaching my son. He works hard and no nonsense.
Thank you!

Very knowledgeable, personable, and fun to work with.

We had a great first session with Coach Douglyss for triple jump! He took the time to break down the components of the triple jump with my son and ran through several drills to practice each phase. By way of observation and video recording, Coach Douglyss was able to identify several areas where my son could improve and explained how his present form was impacting his results. He went on to offer suggestions on things to change and had my son practice these changes. We left the session with a clear plan of things to try, what to look out for, and ways to practice that are specific to this event. My son had a great experience and left excited to implement the changes Coach Douglyss suggested. We highly recommend coach!!!

I am being coached by Coach Douglyss for long and triple jump, with more of a focus on triple. I always feel like I get a lot out of practicing with him. Taking video and watching it back allows a close look at my strengths and weaknesses as a jumper. At each practice we work on various drills to improve my technique, and he makes the very technical parts of jumps easy to grasp. He is always willing to modify the practices based on how tired I am/how my legs are feeling, and has helpful suggestions about training and resting. I would highly recommend training with him.

It was wonderful to work with Douglyss. He helped my daughter with summer training to prepare for upcoming cross country and track seasons. He is very knowledgeable and explained why drills and exercises would helpful. He provided written feedback after every session with suggestions for workouts between sessions. I would definitely recommend him as a trainer.

I met with Coach Douglyss, and he assessed my form, and gave me a consistent work out plan based on what I needed to improve. He's been a great coach so far, and has helped me improve in my sprinting.

Coach Douglyss is a great coach! He tailored the whole session I had with him to the specific goals I had told him about. His training, techniques and expertise were excellent and already proved very useful in that I improved much in only one session! I would book other sessions with him anytime and would definitely recommend him to anyone

My daughter has seen coach Douglyss twice and we will definitely book more sessions. He is a thorough coach and his passion for track shows. He comes prepared for each session with individualized activities and always gives good feedback and homework.

Coach Douglyss has started coaching my son, who is in middle school, and it has been terrific. Coach Douglyss has been very encouraging and flexible--which is so key with a newbie at that age group, and a family with scheduling challenges--and he has us both so excited about my son's participation in track. Thank you!

I think that Coach Douglyss is a great coach! From the get go, he was very easy to talk to and listened to what I was looking for. If you are looking for a coach to help you understand proper running form to minimize injury and increase your speed, Douglyss is the coach for you. He did a through assessment to understand where my running form is, and provided simple training techniques to follow to correct my issues. He also spent a lot of time to write up an extensive review and homework exercises to follow.

I feel working with Douglyss, I will be able to attain my goals of running injury free and get much faster. Douglyss is a true partner in your success.

I started working with Coach Douglyss recently as a somewhat experienced runner and his approach & technique have been great. He works within a runner's parameters and helps focus on key goals/benchmarks, but gives you the freedom to develop/advance as fast or paced as you want to. Looking forward to the next sessions and further progress.

We are thrilled with the progress Eva is making!
