I have also work with younger kids to build there strength and endurance. I have worked with Middle School, High School and College. I focus on a foundation and speed but also nutrition. Having a race plan is also important because every little step will determine the outcome of the race. I also focus on nutrition because it is as important as training I have also been a personal trainer for the past 10+ years.

I was running from the age of 9 years old. I was a Collegiate NCAA DIV II, All American athlete all 4 years and I still have the record in the 800 meter. While I was on the team at St. Augustine's University we won the NCAA National Champions title indoor and outdoor. Always made the podium indoor, outdoor and summer. I also ran cross country and was team captain and outdoor captain. I went on to become a professional athlete. My specialty was the 800 meters with a PR of 2:03:78 in the 2000 Olympics in Sydney Australia and I still hold the country record with that time. Then went to the Bahamas and PR again with 2:03:16.

In a typical session, I do an assessment with the person I am working with. I first want to find out what my clients needs are and what they are looking to accomplish by training. Base on the answer they give me, my goal is to first figure out their strength and weakness. They will first have to warm up, then static stretching. Turnover drills, bounding, plyometrics and technique, speed, long slow distance running, standard and hill intervals, body weight training . If we are on the track we might start off with the distance according to the assessment that was giving at the beginning work on skills. Or, if we were in the weight room it will start with calisthenic. We will always end with a warm down.
