Kevin C.

Currently coaching Multi-eventers, hurdles, High-jump, Javelin, discus, shot-put and sprinters at Reed H.S. in Sparks, Nevada. I was formerly the Head coach for Cross-country and Track and field for the Women's programs at the University of Nevada, Reno. Was also the Head coach for the National team of Saudi Arabia preparing for the 1984 Los Angles Olympics. I have coached individual athletes preparing for Olympics, Pan-American Games, and other National Championships. I have a Masters Degree from University of Nevada and an Associate Professor certificate from the United States Sports Academy. I work with all age groups, with children in a (run-jump-throw) mentality and with other levels of ages and abilities, from world-class to beginner. I enjoy the process of watching them come from zero to Hero!

I've been an All-American in Cross-country (5,000 meters) and also an All-American in track and field several times. I was the National Men's champion in the track pentathlon (long-jump, javelin, 200m, discus, 1,500m) and also a National Champion in the Men's Natural Bodybuilding Championship Grandmasters division. I have received multiple awards in track and field ranging from sprints, distance, throwing, and jumping. I was voted Most Inspirational in College in both X-Country and Track and Field. Was named MVP for track in my Junior College, Lassen College. Won a 2,000 mile award for completing this during my season (3 months) at University of Nevada Cross-county. Placed 3rd in the WCAC conference in the 400m Hurdles making the All-conference team. Was a school record holder at Lassen College for the 3,000m steeplechase, 3-mile and 4 x mile Relay.

A typical session usually lasts up to an hour, or a little longer if we are throwing. I work on body assessments and then the dynamics of the event. I move on to warm ups and stretches and then into the main muscle specific movements involved for the events. Plyometrics are also one of my favorites since I was a pioneer in this area back in the 80's when working with the first high school female to jump over 6' in the high-jump (Colleen Rienstra Somers who went on to perform in two Olympic Games, setting world records.) I love being around positive athletic people who love giving their best and have specific goals in mind.
