I am a very technical sprint coach. My athletes must have a solid foundation of technique, stabilization, and stamina, in order to properly implement running strength & explosion. With those 5 elements, I WILL have your child become a faster and better athlete. I feel that an athletes mechanics are very essential when it comes to them reaching their fullest potential. A good base must be set. When it comes to speed, the fast-twitch muscles must be developed along with a strong core. We will do speed workouts, speed endurance, build power, work on their conditioning and stamina, footspeed, stride frequency, and flexibility. Coaching from the 60/100-800m run

Absolutely amazing! Great with focus, keeping them on task, and encouragement! We are learning a lot and looking forward to continuing training.

Coach Kareem is extremely encouraging and motivates our kiddo to push harder to improve her technique/speed. What’s even more impressive is that she listens to him and believes his instructions are working to her benefit.

Very excited to be working with Kareem. He’s a competitive sprinter and knows the technical aspect of the sport which is what I am lacking.

Excellent coach. My son enjoyed the session and learned a lot.

Coach Kareem ,

His approach on what kyndall needs to better her game
It on point . She really enjoys her sessions.
I recommend coach Kareem to any one looking to become an all around athlete.
He doesn’t stand at the top of the mountain and push your kid to meet him there .
He climbs that mountain with your kid ..
That is a great approach for the final result .
Thanks

Great first session with Coach Kareem he did a great job of teaching techniques to improve my sons running form.

We had a great session with Coach Kareem! He took the time to get to know my daughter as an athlete, explained things to her in a way that an 11 year old would understand, worked her hard and made it fun! She can’t wait to work with him again.

Coach Kareem was very insightful in recognizing where I needed to build and improve. His assessment of my form helped me to understand why I have not achieved my previous goals. I am confident with his help I will be successful in reaching my goals.
