More About Coach Jonathan
I have been a high school track and field coach for over 10 years. I have coached almost every event and every level for both boys and girls. Currently, I am the Head Girl's Track and Field coach at a local high school, and I specialize in the sprints, hurdles, and jumps. My coaching focuses on teaching the proper techniques and then building up the athletes fitness so they can apply those techniques even when they are reaching the end of their event.
In a team setting, I have to design more general workouts for a large group of kids, but I would love the opportunity to work with athletes in a 1-on-1 setting where I can target the specific strengths and weaknesses of that athlete. All track & field events require four things: strength, stamina, speed, and technique. Depending on the athlete and the length and frequency of training sessions, my training would attempt to hit on one or more of these areas. Sessions would start with dynamic stretching and warm-up and finish with a cool down which would include flexibility exercises.

An experienced coach with very clear instructions, and the ability to ask all the questions regarding track and field.
Finished a long jump session with Cole, the session was fruitful as Cole pointed out techincal errors of mine and gave some great cues for corrections.

Coach Jonathan is a fantastic Coach. He's very seasoned and works well with kids of all ages. He was particularly good with my 10 year old son. Not only does he know running form and mechanics, Coach Jonathan is really good at helping kids see the adjustments they need to make to get into the proper posture and drills to help them improve their mechanics. I would recommend Coach Jonathan highly to anyone interested in running at a high level.
Jitender (CoachUp client)
My son liked the training session
Sharyn (CoachUp client)
Coach Jonathan is great. So knowledgeable and motivating. My son really enjoyed his first session and felt comfortable trying different approaches immediately. That says a lot with pole vaulting. He’s looking forward to continue working with Coach Jonathan in the off-season to stay in shape and build more skills. Thank you Coach!

Best coaching experience bar none. Coach Jonathan is the best I've seen and my 17 year old daughter agrees.
Kim (CoachUp client)
Coach Johnathan is wonderful! We have had several sessions with him to help my daughter get trained for spring track season. Every session my daughter is excited to go and learn from Coach Johnathan experience and knowledge. He has improved both her speed and confidence. What a way to kick off the spring season.
Thank you! Highly recommended.
Kristin (CoachUp client)

Coach Jonathan made a great first impression. He is very personable and my son had a terrific session at the end of which he felt great, full of complements for his coach. Highly recommend Coach Jonathan.
Tatyana (CoachUp client)
The first session went great - David learnt new technics and exercises, got a good work out and had fun. The instructions were easy to follow. Looking forward to great results!
John (CoachUp client)
Our daughter is a sprinter and a rising high school junior. She has trained with Jonathan twice a week throughout the summer, and has not only really enjoyed working with him, but feels that he has helped her improve her starts, running form and fitness. Maria and we highly recommend Jonathan.

My daughter is looking forward to the next session (s). She said she learned some new techniques she hadn't in her three years of jumping. Coach was great with her and the one on one sessions are the best for learning. I watched the session (s) and did see an already improvement. As long as my daughter is happy and responds to the coaching I am happy with it too. I feel this is a great idea to get athletes and coaches in this sport together to work.

Coach Jonathan gave my son good pointers to help him refine his jumping technique. Suggested drills and exercises he can do on his own.
Darren (CoachUp client)
We were very pleased with our initial training session with Coach Cole. It's a fairly large ask to make speed and agility training/instruction fun for a kid and it was accomplished. We look forward to more training.
Joseph (CoachUp client)
Coach Jonathon is an excellent coach. Inside 5 minutes my daughter was feeling comfortable and more confident in her skills at long jump and high jump. I would definitely recommend him.
Diane (CoachUp client)
My son is just starting to learn the long jump. Coach Jonathan taught him the basics at his first training session. Coach Jon seemed very knowledgable and was supportive. We look forward to using him for further training.
Kim (CoachUp client)
Coach Jonathan listened to our concerns and where we wanted to focus attention. My daughter was thrilled to get the dedicated attention to her running form and her race starts in the hopes of improving her times and preventing injury. We plan to continue working hard with Coach Jonathan this summer!
Lisa (CoachUp client)
My first session with Coach Jonathan Cole was a great experience. He was a very kind and patient coach who was very helpful and gave me great feedback on my form and technique. I am training for high jump and pole vault and I feel that coach Jonathan can help me improve in these events and I look forward to training with him.
Kelly (CoachUp client)

This is my daughter’s third year training with Coach Jonathan. As a parent, my goal was to find a coach that would evaluate and critique her jumps (high, long , and triple) and then help her make the necessary adjustments to improve her personal bests. After reading through the on-line reviews, Jonathan’s profile seemed to be the best match. While speaking with Jonathan at our first training session, I was certain that we had found the right coach. In the months and seasons that followed my daughter has made significant progress and continues to improve in each season. Jonathan spends time each training session talking to her about her performances in prior meets and helps her set goals for her future meets. He is very approachable and easy to speak with. It is obvious that he takes a genuine interest in his athletes and wants to see them succeed. My daughter is fortunate to have found a coach that has given her the confidence to make changes in her technique that ultimately changed her future in Track and Field.
Shawn (CoachUp client)
My 10 year old definitely needs some running help but really did not want to take lessons. But I set him up with Coach Cole and the first lesson went so great he is really looking forward to the next sessions. Such a great help and looking forward to continued working with Coach.
Jim (CoachUp client)
Coach Jon did a great Job with my son. Each progression Coach Jon ran with Demetrios built on the previous drill he ran. It made it very easy. I would strongly recommend Coach Jon!
Caroline (CoachUp client)
We are beginning our second year with Coach John and he has been a great influence on my daughter. She always looks forward to her training sessions, and her meet times and technique have really improved. Most importantly her confidence has soared. We would recommend him to anyone!!
Robert (CoachUp client)
Today was my daughter's first session with coach Jonathan. We were both very impressed with his knowledge and preparation. Jonathan was very professional and was easy to work with. She is looking forward to her next session.
Robert (CoachUp client)
