- Experience in long jump, high jump, javelin, shot put, 100 and 400m hurdles, 200, 400, 800
- Injury in college led to more time coaching than competing. Learned from expert coaches, especially in jumps and multi events

Can coach any ages. Especially interested in coaching athletes looking to be competitive in high school and aspire to collegiate track & field.
Sessions will be tailored to where you'd like to improve and which event(s) you're focusing on.
Will begin with assessing your current ability, technique, strengths, etc. and work with you to devise a plan

Sessions can include
- warm-up drills, which are essential for proper running/jumping form
- technical sessions for field events to master technique
- running workouts if applicable
- speed/strength training
- injury prevention exercises

Equipment:
- I have 2 women’s javelins, one 8lb shot put (girls/women), a plyo box for jumping, miniature hurdles for sprint development drills, and a tape measure. All other equipment must be provided by the athlete or the facility.

Client Reviews

We were very happy with the session Heather ran for our 10 year old. We didn’t have a very clear vision for what we were looking for but Heather took that In stride. Our daughter had a lot of fun.

Heather works great with my teenage daughter! Very organized, brings necessary equipment, and utilized the time efficiently. My daughter is looking forward to more sessions with Heather!

I'm a track coach working with Heather to improve my approach to coaching the throwing and jumping events. She is fantastic--incredibly knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend Heather to any high school track athlete.
