More About Coach Kelsey
I have trained under Mike Pascuzzo (3xOlympic Trails - High Jump) and Devin Barry (Emerging Elite Coach - Jumps) as well as Norm Tate (1968 Olympics - Long Jump) and Derrick Adamson (1984, 1988 Olympics - Marathon), .
Aside from training athletes via CoachUp, I served as the high jump coach for St. Benedicts Prep School in Newark, NJ. I am also a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS).
During high school I jumped at the Varsity level for 8 seasons at Middletown North.
In college I jumped briefly (after a three year break) for Rowan University at the DIII NCAA level.
After graduating I jumped for the Adidas Garden State Track Club for 2 years.
I recently became a certified strength coach (CSCS) and USATF apprentice official.
Currently I am jumping in collegiate and open track meets in the NY/NJ as an unattached athlete.
I do compete in other track and field events and have done a few heptathlons. However, the high jump is my main focus and typically the only event I am comfortably coaching.
Does your team need some high jump coaching? I would be more than happy to schedule semi-private group sessions with your team to be held at your high school high jump facility pending approval from your coach. Please message me so we can work out the details together. Jumping with a group makes things fun, promotes friendly competition, allows you to take much needed breaks in between jumps, and lowers the cost for everyone involved. It may be just what you and your fellow jumpers need!
If private lessons are more your speed, I can do that too. The main thing you need to secure is a location. If your school or a local school has high jump equipment available and you have permission to use it, please feel free to schedule a private session(s). I am happy to meet you at your jumping location provided it is within a reasonable distance!
Jumping sessions work on the following:
- Event specific drills
- Approach work and step adjustment
- Rotation over the bar
- Knee and arm drive
- Form adjustment and bar clearance
- Leaning the curve
- Foot and body placement at takeoff
- Video filming with upload to youtube ($20 extra)
Already got the technioque down, but looking to improve your strength and power? If you are interested in resistance training in a gym facility, please let me know. I am a CSCS and would be happy to provide high jump program design and personal training. Please note that extra fees may apply for personal training due to gym facility costs.

Client Reviews

Lori (CoachUp client)

Gillian (CoachUp client)
She did an amazing job. In just one session I could see so much improvement in my jumps.
David Alfano, Head Coach at St. Benedict's Prep (Testimonial)
Kelsey has been a tremendous help to our jumps program at St. Benedict's Prep. We have seen a huge improvement with our high jumpers since she started working with them. She is very knowledgeable, has been able to individualize instruction for each of their needs, and has a wonderful positive attitude which our athletes respond well to. Kelsey films the entire high jump session through high definition slow motion video which enables our kids to see themselves even when they are not at practice! There is no doubt in my mind that by seasons end every one of our jumpers will reach new personal bests. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
