Kalobe Jimenez

Brianna Green, 2x NCAA D2 National Champion (Testimonial)

Kalobe has been an incredible coach and mentor in my hurdling journey. When I first started training with him, I was a 15-second 100m hurdler and a 64-second 400m hurdler. Although I ran at Fresno Pacific University and had a strong hurdle coach, I was new to the event and really needed more individualized, technical 1-on-1 training—something that wasn’t always possible with a large hurdle squad. From the beginning, Kalobe was extremely insightful, patient, and knowledgeable. He broke down the technique in a way that was easy to understand and could demonstrate each drill with precision. Not only did he help me become more technically sound, but he also taught me why things mattered—hurdle rhythm, what it should sound and feel like, step patterns and their importance in the 400H, and how to identify and correct specific technical issues. His coaching transformed me both as an athlete and as someone who can now confidently coach others. With his guidance, I improved from 15.00 to 13.35 in the 100m hurdles and from 64 seconds to 56.88 in the 400m hurdles. Kalobe truly knows what he’s talking about, and it shows in the improvements he helps athletes achieve. He made a huge difference in my hurdling career, and I’m confident he can do the same for others.
