In 2005, I transitioned from competition to training and coaching aspiring and professional athletes.

Client Reviews
Darlene (CoachUp client)
Excellent to have him be working with my son I'm honored! He knows his stuff my son did not want to go but he's ready now!
David (CoachUp client)
Coach Jon is a great coach. He has a vast knowledge of Track and Field and knows how to pass that on to his students. After watching my daughter run he immediately identified what she needed to correct and he taught her the right techniques within an hour. Coach Jon is very charismatic and my daughter was very comfortable learning from him. Coach Jon is first class and I highly recommend him.
Admiral (CoachUp client)

Taylor S (Testimonial)
My experience in the S.T.A.R.T. Program was unparalleled by any other training program I’ve been a part of been witness to. The gains that I obtained in not only physical ability but knowledge in the first few months alone were incredible. I loved and appreciated the way Jon broke things down scientifically. It helped me to understand why I was needed to perform each movement a particular way, and how it would all ultimately work together. After my brain could comprehend it, my body finally began understanding how it was supposed to work. Then, everything became easier than it had ever been before. Previously I had also suffered injuries fairly frequently, but that all ended with S.T.A.R.T. -Taylor S, Entered S.T.A.R.T. in Nov. 2011
