Coach Jerry is a great coach. Just after 1 session, he's helped me correct many things I was doing wrong. I look forward to working with him to improve my running form, practice goals, mental game, and other aspects. I recommend him highly to anyone who is looking to improve their running game.

Coach Jerry has been an excellent training source for my high school son. He has provided my son with extra tools in helping him become a better runner - in the form of advice and drills. The one-on-one training is exactly what we were looking for and received. Kudos to Coach Jerry for inspiring and motivating our son to strive for his best XC performance this season.

Coach Jerry was a great coach. He did a great job preparing my daughter for her college team.

Coach Jerry Was Great. In just few minutes of workout , he pointed out that my head was tilted up , and should be looking straight and down, that my left foot was landing in an angle, and it should be landing straight, and my face and neck were too tight and should be relaxed while running and that my arm should be floppy, and relaxed. All the things I been doing wrong for years. We did some running drills and short speed drills that I did not even know about. He knows more about running that anyone else I have met in the running community. Thanks Jerry.

Emma received some much needed coaching of running technique. It is something she has not had much of and I am glad to see it. It is going to make a world of difference in her running ability. I am already seeing a difference in her running and her self-esteem.

Coach has been fantastic to work with. He has already helped my son to improve.

Great Coach! Very inspiring. I am enjoying the drills and can already see an improvement in my running form.

Coach G. is an amazing coach and mentor. He is quickly able to determine an athletes strengths and weaknesses (both physical and mental) and design programs to exploit those strengths as well as work on the weak areas. Coach G.l always knows when to apply pressure and when to back off in order to get the best results out of an athlete. Most importantly, he has a passion for people and especially track and field athletes. That passion is contagious and translates to athletes that work harder to reach their goals, whether that goal is a personal record or just finishing your first 5K.
