More About Coach JoAnna

Currently Coaching Track & Field @ Valley Christian High School

I began coaching soccer, basketball, cricket, and football athletes in speed & agility for 5 years.

My athletes range from beginners, to U14 National Soccer Team Athletes. I believe that anyone can improve, with the proper training plan.

I have worked as a coach for ages 9-18.

I hold a USATF LEVEL 1 Track & Field Certification, an NCSF Personal Training Certification, and am currently working on a Level 2 Sports Science Cert.

In high school I was on the Top 10 Performers list in 300H, 4x100, and 100m hurdles. I was a Div 1AaTrack & Field Athlete.

I earned Coach of the Year in 2019 for winning the schools first ever league championship in Track & Field.

A typical session includes a proper warm-up, technique and mechanics drills, acceleration and deceleration techniques, and an agility workout.

These specific skills include, proper knee, hip, and foot placement when accelerating and decelerating.

ACL injury prevention exercises are foundational in speed and agility sessions as well.

Amazing as always! Coach Jo is the best of the best!

Coach JoAnna is wonderful! Both my kids (age 10 and 8) love training with her. She is very professional, makes the workouts super fun and they both learn a lot. Highly recommend!

My granddaughter was visiting from South Carolina, for a few weeks. Fortunately, the timing could not have been better. Coach Joanna was hosting a camp at a local school. I immediately signed up, for the camp. From day one of the camp, there was an immediate improvement in my granddaughter's technique, work ethic, and self-confidence. This is not only attributable to Coach Joanna's coaching skill, it's a testament to her ability to pass on her experience, and motivate her students. Coach Joanna taught my granddaughter in a manner, that will positively impact her, for the rest of her life. My only regret is that my granddaughter was not visiting long enough to attend another camp session, with Coach Joanna. But, we'll certainly have her enrolled with Coach Joanna, on my granddaughter's next visit. Thank you, Coach!

Coach Joanna is incredibly gifted and talented. She has the ability to make teens smile but also motivates them to improve their running skills and technique. Both of my boys enjoy her sessions because they know she is making them a better soccer player.

My son enjoyed training with Coach Jo. She is knowledgeable and encouraging.

Great session, heaps of positive tips and encouragement

My 13-year old daughter really enjoyed her sessions with Coach JoAnna. She's friendly, extremely knowledgable and made my daughter feel comfortable right away. My daughter learned so much from each session. I'm so happy we found her and will continue to book training sessions with Coach JoAnna in the future.

Coach was great and my kid really enjoyed the sesssokn

Within 20 minutes of the first coaching session, I could see the eyes of my daughter light up and a smile on her face. Coach JoAnna immediately formed a connection with her and was able to establish sprint mechanics and triple jump rhythms. My daughter is looking forward to working on these fundamentals and we will continue to partner with Coach JoAnna on the upcoming track season.

Coach Jo worked really well with my son. He started learning a lot of technique improvements, and was really motivated during their training session. Looking forward to more work with her.

Coach JoAnna is an amazing coach. She is kind, professional, and she’s invested in your athlete’s success. We can see a positive difference in a short time, in our kid’s strengths, mechanics, posture and work ethic. We are very happy!

JoAnna has been great working with my 11 yr old son. Great personality for working with kids and a strong tool kit of drills/techniques.

My 6-year old is having a ton of fun and so excited for each session

JoAnna was great!!! I was very impressed.

Coach JoAnna was excellent! After just one session, my daughter was able to shave a significant amount of time off her 100m sprint. We look forward to future sessions. Highly recommend!

Coach has good understanding on what we need. Recommend her for other players.

I contacted JoAnna to meet with my friend. She was amazing and provided him with some really great feedback to up his sprinting and running game. Highly recommend!

JoAnna is fantastic. Her energy, knowledge, care, and focus on my child made me feel immediately happy. She listened to my problems, did an analysis of my child, and started working him in the right things. My son is doing soccer 4x a week and basketball 2x a week right now, and he has only been sore after working out with JoAnna. Thanks JoAnna!

Coach JoAnna has helped our daughter gain confidence in her self and her ability. After 30 minuets of he first session we could see drastic improvements in her form. She is awesome!

Amazing coach, she coached my daughter personally then the whole soccer team and we could tell the huge improvement from first session.

Very professional and engaging well worth it

Great coach, did a workout that was good for my pace and made it enjoyable.

Coach JoAnna was great. Kids were challenged to learn the right technique. They loved it and worked hard throughout the session. We couldn't continue with more sessions due to time constraints, but planning to.

Coach JoAnna is the best! We were looking for someone to help our 16 yr old son. In just two sessions he has shown a great deal of improvement. He still has a long way to go, but he is well on his way. My only regret was not finding Coach JoAnna sooner. She is amazing! I would recommend her to all.
Thank you so very much!

Awesome first day! Very thorough and well thought out exercises & drills. JoAnna also has a great approach that resonates with my daughter. She’s looking forward to a great summer of training.

Joanna is awesome, great attitude when I met her! She was on time, she introduce herself to my boys which made my kids feel good about her. My oldest son was getting alittle frustrated because he felt like he wasn't doing the drill right but Joanna was so patience and awesome about letting him know that it's okay🙂 I would definitely recommend her to anyone I know, my boys overall experience with her is great! We would definitely be back👍

Coach JoAnna is awesome. Not only does she have the expertise and background, but she's also positive and fun. I feel inspired!!
