I cannot speak highly enough of John Tillman's coaching expertise. His dedication to improving athletes' performance is truly exceptional. Despite the challenging weather conditions, John's commitment to my son never wavered. His approach of setting goals with my son at the beginning of the session and then reflecting on progress at the end was both insightful and motivating.
John's accessibility and genuine desire for his athletes to succeed sets him apart. He goes above and beyond to ensure that his trainees have the support they need to excel. My son's enthusiasm for the upcoming meet, fueled by the adjustments John made to his long jump technique, speaks volumes about the impact of John's coaching. I have no doubt that John's guidance will continue to yield impressive results. If you're looking for a coach who truly cares about your success, look no further than John Tillman.

Coach Tillman is fantastic! He is incredibly supportive and has been instrumental in helping my child technically improve and obtain a PR within a short period of time. We are grateful that he also excels in relating to the student athlete and helping to instill a positive mindset towards training and competitions.
Michael B. (Testimonial)
We drive a long way to work with Coach Tillman, and it's well-worth it. From the very first session I saw changes in my son's technique. More importantly, I saw changes in his attitude. He was excited about his potential and looking forward to the season whereas before he lacked confidence. Not many coaches have the knowledge and experience that Coach Tillman has. But I think he also has a gift in his ability to connect with kids and inspire them.
Sarah M. (Testimonial)
Coach Tillman's commitment to mentoring and educating each athlete is truly remarkable. My child not only excels on the track but has also developed essential life skills. Coach Tillman's influence extends far beyond the sport, creating a well-rounded and empowered individual.
Corey B. (Testimonial)
As a parent, I couldn't be happier with the positive changes I've seen in my child since working with Coach Tillman. His dedication to making sessions enjoyable, educational, and goal-oriented has transformed my child into a smarter and more confident athlete.
Mary S. (Testimonial)
Coach Tillman's impact on my child's athletic journey has been phenomenal. His patient and personable approach not only improved my child's track and field performance but also instilled valuable life lessons. Coach Tillman truly goes above and beyond!
Gerald M. (Testimonial)
I was a basketball player who had never run track before my Senior year of high school. Coach Tillman taught me to long jump and triple jump and that same year I finished 2nd at the State Championships in the triple jump. What I love about coach Tillman is how he inspires you. He believed in me and that gave me confidence. He also knows so much about jumping, sprinting, and hurdling that he has drills for everything.
Chandler M. (Testimonial)
Coach Tillman never gave up on me even when I doubted myself. I started track in the 11th grade. My first meet I ran 12.8 and thought about quitting. I started putting in extra work with Coach Tillman, got better and helped my 4x100m relay team win a State Championship the next year. The following summer I worked with Coach Tillman and dropped my 100m time to 10.8, and it has continued to improve.
Joshua A. (Testimonial)
I improved my triple jump from 42 feet to 46 feet 4 inches after working with Coach Tillman for 3 months. He's probably the best jump coach in North Carolina.
Netanya L., State Champion PV, 4x 200m Relay; Collegiate LJ, Hurdles, Heptathlon (Testimonial)
Coach Tillman recognized my potential and he was determined to make me the athlete I strived to be. One thing about Coach Tillman is that he puts his ALL into coaching, and having a coach as determined as you truly makes a difference. My career as a D1 college athlete was achieved because of what Coach Tillman believed and inspired me to be long ago.
Prince A. (Testimonial)
I am forever grateful for Coach Tillman’s tireless dedication and countless hours spent helping me improve. His commitment to my growth and development has profoundly impacted my life, both on and off the field.
Zach B. (Testimonial)
Coach Tillman is someone that will always have your best interest at heart when it comes to your progress and growth as an athlete and as a person. It was a pleasure to be one of Coach Tillman’s athletes because you knew the quality of coaching and work ethic would never waver. He was consistent and made sure I could be the best version of myself on and off the track. Coach Tillman is one of the most impactful and influential coaches I've ever had.
