More About Coach Lauryn

I’m the Sprint Coach for Pine Forest High School in Pensacola, FL, and the head coach of Xcelerated Athletics South, where I specialize in training youth athletes ages 7–18 in sprints, hurdles, and speed development.
In the first five months of 2024, I coached multiple athletes to All-American and Regional Champion titles. I also assisted in coaching Twinsburg High School’s 4x200 State Championship relay and 4x400 State Runner-Up team.
My coaching style focuses on building athletic skill, speed, and race IQ—while also helping athletes develop confidence, discipline, and mental toughness. My family coaching legacy includes a top-ranked CoachUp coach, high school state finalists, and national-level team coaches.
Since relocating to Florida, I’ve continued developing youth talent, with several of my athletes qualifying for AAU and USATF National Championships.

Throughout my high school career I earned the title of a five time All Ohio track athlete, in the 4x100 and 4x200. I participated in both the indoor and outdoor state championship, placing state runner up in the Ohio State meet in 2015, 3rd in the 200 at the indoor Ohio state meet, and the one of the few athletes in the state to qualify in the indoor state championships in 3 events (60,200,400). I also was a district finalist in the 300 hurdles. I still currently hold numerous school, district, and regional records. I went on to be a scholarship athlete at Robert Morris University in Pennsylvania, where I broke the school record in the 60 m dash. I also was apart of the school’s 4x400 relay.

Sessions are broken up two ways, speed endurance training and technique and skills training. Speed endurance days will consist of workouts designed to help runners maintain their maximum speed for prolonged periods. On technique and skill training days we look at the athletes form and breakdown every part of the race and how it showed be ran. We focus on proper arms, lengthening their stride, and fine tuning their fast twitch muscles.

Great coach

Coach Lauryn is the best! My son really enjoys working with her and she pushes him every session. Looking forward to our future sessions!

I’m so happy to have found Lauryn. I had been looking for a hurdle coach for my son for a year to no avail. Then, I stumbled onto CoachUp, read her bio and booked her within 10 minutes. The first practice was better than I expected. And my son PR’d after just one practice with Lauryn! She is very professional and knowledgeable. She communicates any schedule changes very well and she’s prompt. She is well worth the cost and drive from Navarre.

Coach Lauryn is very knowledgeable with track and field events. She understands the body mechanics that goes into each event and how to correct poor habits or strengthen areas that will improve performance. My daughter needed someone who will push her and take her to the next level and we fully believe Coach Lauryn will be what she needs.

Real training! Coach McKinley prepared a purposeful training plan for the session to include athlete evaluation for initial session. My grandson left the session tired but feeling a sense of accomplishment and purpose.

I am thrilled to share my experience with Coach Lauryn, who has been instrumental in my son's athletic development over the past nine months. In just three months of summer training, under her guidance, my son's 200m time improved by an impressive three seconds. Coach Lauryn has not only enhanced his athletic abilities but also played a significant role in boosting his confidence. As a result of her dedicated coaching, my son has shown remarkable improvement in endurance and has become a much more competitive athlete. Her expertise, personalized approach, and unwavering support have truly made a positive impact on my son's performance and overall athletic journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Coach Lauryn to any aspiring athlete looking to reach their full potential.
Coach Lauryn is that chick when it comes to coaching these boys up. She pushes them to be their best selves and they showed her exactly what they were capable of. Forever grateful for her! Now let’s work!
