Its important to know your athlete. The level of athleticism, and motivation in an athlete is key to determining the intensity of our sessions. Being observant of attitude and getting a general sense of the capability of the athlete helps shape future workouts. Some athletes may need more supervision, or motivation, all which is determined after some initial evaluation. The goal for any student is to find joy in the sport and become a better athlete.

Probably the best coach I’ve ever had, and will ever have. Taught me a lot and pushes me even when I really want to give up.

My son stated to me, “this coach taught me more” my point being is that even a child can see the difference. Thx

First training session was great!! Coach Jabari noticed techniques that my son needs to work on immediately. Also went over drills my son had not been introduced to yet which was needed and gave tips of what to do in downtime. Excited for the next session and what results will come.

I wish we found Coach Jabari several years ago. Terrific first session.

My son had his first session with coach Jabari and it gave him the challenge we have been looking for. Can't wait to get back on the track for our next session!

Coach Jabari was FANTASTIC! He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient...offering tons of tips and suggestions to help my son improve as he begins this new sport. He was extremely encouraging and motivating (prior to the training, during, and after). We would highly recommend Coach Jabari to anyone looking to improve in the sport of Track and Field!!!

Awesome he needs to contact me so my daughter can get back in the running business

Coach Jabari’s coaching is incredibly helpful as he allows his runners to showcase their skills. I would definitely recommend him to my teammates.

I learned a lot from coach Jabari. Great sessions. hope to go back again. Thanks coach for all your guidance.

If you need technical training for hurdles or long jump, coach Jabari will get you to where you need to be. He is able to correct bad form in the moment and will work with you until you get it right. He starts you off with a quick but effective warm up which gets you quickly into the workout. I have had many coaches in the past and have by far made the most progress with coach Jabari.

My sprinter is loving the training sessions with coach Jabari. Can't wait to see his times this season.
Im adding to my original post....After training all summer with Coach Jabari, our runner has Pr'ed almost every race. He placed 3rd in the Diamond State Relays 4x400. and he placed 3rd in his first time running the 800 during counties. He owes much of his success to Coach Jabari who not only stayed in contact with our runner but also us during the season. He is looking forward to another long training summer. Thanks for everything Coach J!

My daughter learned so much from her first practice and we are very pleased with his skilled professional training. He’s great!

Coach Jabari was great!! My son went to him for help with LJ and TJ. Coach Jabari took the time to explain to him what was wrong with his form and technique. He also gave him a good work and showed him how to correct his form. My son said that he learned more from Coach Jabari in one session than he has learned from any other coach in the past 5 years of jumping!! We are already scheduled for a second session. I would highly recommend Coach Jabari!

it has only been 1session and my son was very impressed ... We found a coach lets gooo I can't wait

Made we want to get out there with my son.

Coach Jabari was very informative. He gave my son fantastic feedback and pushed him along the way. Jabari has high expectations which motivates his athletes and forces them to try to reach a challenging goal.

I highly recommend Coach Jabari for all levels! I was recruited as an alternate for the 4 x 400 m, over 40 year old relay at the 2017 Penn Relays. Having not sprinted since high school, I slowly started training on my own to get the rust off. I found out 6 weeks before the Penn Relays that I would be running due to another runner’s injury! I reached out to Coach Jabari, explained my situation, and we began a training regimen that not only increased my stamina and speed, but more importantly my confidence. By working on form, stretching, various drills and diet, I was able to successfully run in the relay with a time that was VERY competitive. A few weeks before, I wasn’t able to even finish the 400m at a full-out sprint - I would never have been able to compete in the relay without Coach Jabari’s guidance. I plan to continue to train with Coach to get an early start on next year’s race : ) Thank you Coach Jabari!

Coach Jabari is great !! I noticed extreme improvement in my daughters form and explosion in just one session. She has learned more in one session than her entire high school track season. I will definitely be utilizing Coach Jabari as my daughters personal track coach going forward.

Coach Jabari is an excellent coach! He motivates, builds confidence & works my son to his full potential.

Coach Jabari was great. During the initial session I noticed that my son's running form had improved within a few minutes of working with Coach Jabari. I would recommend Coach Jabari to anyone and my son is already looking forward to his next session. I definitely plan to book additional sessions.

Coach Jabari was great! He was really able to assess my son's ability and give him some drills that can help him perfect his technique and build speed. My son felt very comfortable with him and looks forward to meeting with him again!

Coach Jabari.....was able to look at my daughter and make suggestions that would improve her running, as well as provided her with a workout to do before her next session. He was amazing and I would suggest him to anyone looking for a great coach!!!

Coach was great I learned so much in one session. I have really not worked that hard before. Awesome experience.

Coach Jabari has been great to work with. Professional, attentive and with vast knowledge. He has been working with my son on triple jump and long jump, and has greatly improved his technique and knowledge of the events.

This was my daughter's first session with Coach Jabari. He was exceptional! She was put through a through workout that was both challenging and inspiring. He is concerned with the physical as well as the mental preparedness to to get to the next level. I would highly recommend him!

Coach Jabari is, without any doubt, an absolutely fantastic coach.

I'm not fast, and was never confident in my speed. But like Coach Jabari said - it's a skill.

He took my poor form and corrected it, and greatly to my surprise, my speed increased by the very next drill.

I'm so much more confident that speed isn't something a lucky few are born with.

I highly recommend Coach Jabari and will definitely be training with him again!

In just 2 sessions, my daughter has improved in technique and sprint speed. His communication skills during the session have been well applied with quality results. His follow-up communications after each session are a tremendous asset and display his commitment to his athlete's success. We look forward to a long and successful partnership with Coach Jabari!

Coach Higg's instruction and coaching style is connecting well with my son and we are seeing great progress. My son leaves each session challenged and tired but is always looking forward to returning and building from where they left off. He truly enjoys the time he spends with coach.

Our first lesson went better than we could have imagined. Coach Jabari is a patient coach and taking the time to build the skills from the bottom up. He is approachable and was great to work with.I think that he definitely has a lot of knowledge and skill to offer athletes who want to get to the next level. We look forward to many more lessons with him.

Coach saw something in me that I didn't see in myself until he pushed me
