More About Coach James
I have experience coaching track and field at the High School JV and Varsity levels as well as experience
coaching K-12 track and field. I currently coach short sprints and horizontal jumps at Langley High School
in McLean, Virginia. I am a Level 2 USATF certified coach in the jumps. Additionally I am experienced in general
physical fitness and weight loss through my role as the workout instructor of the Virginia State
University Fitness Club.
I was a contributing member to my high school team where we won the district title all four years indoor
and three years outdoor. The 2009-2010 season we earned a state title.
Individual accomplishments include All-District Triple Jump honors as well as 3rd place district finisher in
the triple jump

Megan (CoachUp client)
I've only had one session so far, but he was great! Very complete workout, and I learned a lot about technique in a short time, too. I'll definitely be working with him again!
Marilyn (CoachUp client)
Excellent instruction!
Thomas (CoachUp client)
Coach James did great with my 7 year old. He was very patient with him through the drills and stretches. He also made sure to discuss the goals of the drills with me. My son and I learned a great deal about sprinting in the first session. I have already seen improvements in my son's running from just one session. I was very pleased and would recommend Coach James as a running coach.
Sydney (CoachUp client)
James did a great job of connecting with my son, teaching him the fundamentals of long jump, and giving him a head start for his upcoming season.
Maureen (CoachUp client)

Rosemary (CoachUp client)
Coach James is excellent, patience and kind. He is skilled in what he does and just one session with my son, he likes him so much. I will never hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs his services.
Isiah (CoachUp client)
James was great after 2 sessions my brother had to discontinue the elite package due to transportation. I recommend him my brother enjoyed the two sessions he had.
Tim (CoachUp client)
Coach James is awesome! He makes the sessions fun and my son really enjoys working with him, Even after just a handful of sessions, we can see improvement in my son's running. We can't wait to see how he continues to progress. It's clear that Coach James has a real passion for coaching and he's great at his job. If you're looking for a track and field coach for your son or daughter, don't think twice, book Coach James.

James did an excellent job for my 14-year-old son's introductory session. Clearly he's an expert in his field. We've signed up for a 10 session package and are excited to see how much faster and explosive he can make my son.
