More About Coach Martial

Presently, I am coaching at Santa Margarita High School.

Previously, I coached sprinting for one season at UC Irvine, accumulating six years of experience as a sprint coach.

I also served as a sprint coach at Sage High School for multiple years, as well as JV Boys basketball team for 2 seasons.

In addition to my school coaching roles, I have extensive experience in individually coaching young sprinters in Orange County.
For three years, I worked at the Track School of Normandy, which catered to students aged 10 to 16, both boys and girls. This school was based at the Stadium of Sotteville in Normandy.

At the Track School of Normandy, we not only provided academic education but also focused on showcasing and recruiting track and field talents. The program aimed to initiate talented kids into various track and field disciplines through speed exercises, races, relay events, and drills.

I also have experience coaching young soccer players in the city. My focus was on helping them improve their speed and strength through exercises that were not traditionally part of their training.
I observed that many team players did not realize the importance of physical training for agility and speed, emphasizing that talent alone is not enough for success.
Throughout my coaching experiences, I also served as a role model in the city due to my position as a professional athlete. I actively participated in city-organized events and school talks, sharing insights on track and field and how to approach competitions to become a successful athlete.

Client Reviews

Coach Martial had helped to teach my son fundamentals of sprinting. Coach Martial is very knowledgeable about track and field. I would recommend anyone looking for a track coach to try Coach Martial.

Coach Martial Yapo was friendly and knowledgeable. The training location was ideal for my daughter’s training. We are located a bit out of the way from Irvine but I think the benefits of this training are worth it.

We hired Coach Martial to help with my son's speed for Pee Wee Football and the experience was great. Coach Martial knows how to connect with people and how to get the most out of every session. He even spent more time than we paid for. Best part is we some improvement the next football practice. Coach Martial we will re-book soon. Thank you very much!

Anybody serious about getting faster needs to contact Martial. I've been working out with Martial for the past 3 years and have seen great results after every training session. I owe a lot of my success in soccer this year to working out with Martial Performance to better my speed. Martial is passionate about coaching for speed and agility and recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of his athletes to better their overall game. I've gotten to know him on a personal level and know that nothing brings him more satisfaction than seeing his athletes succeed in their respective sports and in their lives. Martial is a true professional and someone you want to work hard for.
Martial you are incredible! The improvements that our athletes have made since you began working with them have truly been impressive. The results were immediate, but the continued progress of the athletes involved in your programs over time has really changed their speed development. I strongly recommend that anyone interested in developing faster athletes take a serious listen to everything you have to say. They will not be disappointed in the results.
