For best results, I recommend once to twice weekly coaching sessions {practice year around for consistency is the key}!
• All American Football and Track and Field, high school
• Ranked #1 in the Nation - Shot Put event in 1982, high school
• Still ranked as the Texas All Time Top 10 Best in Shot Put event for over 38 years now
• Southwest Conference Champion Outdoor Shot Put, Baylor University
• Southwest Conference Outdoor Second Place Shot Put, Baylor University
• Southwest Conference Indoor Second Place Shot Put, Baylor University
• Southwest Conference Secord Place Discus, Baylor University
• NCAA Third Place Outdoor Shot Put, Baylor University
• Baylor University Field Athlete of the Year, Track & Field in 1987
• Baylor University Indoor and Outdoor Record Holder Shot Put, 31-year-old record
• Olympic Qualifier Outdoor Shot Put in 1988
My coaching strategy is very simple. During my private session and camps, my athletes will experience drills, exercises, and a lot of ring work to help them learn the techniques of shot put and discus events. I will also show them what a throwers’ workout should look like, provide an understanding of the sport, and focus on their journey to becoming a great competitor and student athlete.
I am looking for athletes and parents who understand that the shot put and discus are very difficult events to master. The technique is unique, so you must be willing to commit to practicing and training year round. I believe mastery is a combination of 70% technique and 30% talent & desire to compete. As a part of my services, I will include a workout plan to enhance their bodies for all overall performance (power, speed, quickness and endurance) which will help them to master the techniques of both events.
So, if you really believe in your athlete and want them to get to the next level, then I am the coach for you. I take my work very sincerely and I am willing to go over and beyond to get them to the next level. Winning is what I believe in.
My ultimate goal is to assist your athlete with achieving a track & field athletic scholarship. Imagine being able to send your child to an institution of higher education without the financial burden of tuition. As a father myself, I want the best for my child and I know you do as well. Mastery of the shot put and discus could be a means to a wonderful end.
In closing, I recommend you choose your package of choice wisely to ensure maximum benefit for your athlete and your investment. Consistent training is required for mastery – extended gaps between sessions will delay success and movement to the next level. Consistency is the key!
Effective Immediately:
A 24 hours' notice is required to cancel your practice session, or a charge will incur.
All practice sessions canceled prior to the 24-hour cut off will be rescheduled at no charge.
Moving forward, time. slots cannot be held without a paid session, (i.e., you must have a paid session available to book or hold and time slot).
I appreciate your cooperation with these changes

Client Reviews
Tomea (CoachUp client)
Coach Marvin is AMAZING!!! his knowledge and experience allow him to break down the process and make it understandable. My thrower was able to make it to Region after just two sessions with him. I can only imagine how much better she will get over the next season!
Rogelio (CoachUp client)

Paul (CoachUp client)
Coach Lewis is terrific. His coaching made an excellent impact after only one lesson.
Markel (CoachUp client)
Coach Marvin Lewis is such a phenomenal coach! I wasn't sure how my daughter would learn being coached using Zoom, but Coach Lewis mastered it! My daughter had to unlearn some bad habits stifling her distance. Coach Lewis studied her throw from a video I sent and knew exactly what was needed to improve her throw. He retrained her brain by patiently coaching her and motivating her beyond what she thought she could do. I recommend Coach Lewis to any parent who is frustrated with their child's progress and wants a coach who is passionate about the sport and works with you to get results.
Sean (CoachUp client)
Coach Marvin has been a hell of a coach and mentor to my son OVER ZOOM. I was initially skeptical about how you can coach throwing shot put via Zoom, but he breaks it down and makes it easy for our son to work on his technique in simple and compartmentalized steps. Most importantly, he is a clear and honest communicator, offering realistic feedback and telling my son, wife, and me the truth about progress and potential. I can't ask much more than that. He will be our son's virtual coach for a long-time to come.
Kendall (CoachUp client)
Coach Lewis is a great coach. My Daughter has only been working with Coach Lewis for a month and has shown great improvement.

James (CoachUp client)

Paula (CoachUp client)
Our son had his first training with Coach Lewis this week and already learned so much! Looking forward to him continuing to work with Coach Lewis and develop his throwing skills.
John (CoachUp client)
Coach Lewis is one of the most patient coaches that I’ve ever been around. Although he is patient he is also very persistent at the same time. Coach Lewis insist on getting every step correct before moving on. In just one session my granddaughter went from 70 to 80 feet. Update after another 3 sessions and 1 month after hitting 80 feet Emeri hit a PR of 95.2 and shattered the old school record by 15 feet. Thank you Coach Lewis.

Chris (CoachUp client)
Great methodology and personality for working with first time throwers!
Amy (CoachUp client)
Our first lesson with Coach Lewis was very beneficial. We are beginners and he broke it down step by step so that our daughter starts out with good form. He sent videos so she can continue working until we meet up again for our next lesson.
Erin (CoachUp client)
Coach Lewis is absolutely wonderful. He has not helped my son improve his skill and technique but has had an impact on his overall development as an athlete. My son has improved his PR by more than 10ft in discus in just 2 months!

She is learning proper technique & form which will allow future growth!!

Shane (CoachUp client)
He is great!!
Tia (CoachUp client)
Coach Lewis is very knowledgeable and provides great technique for shot and discus. He gives my daughter great insight and she appreciates his advice knowing he himself threw in school and was a qualifying Olympian. She feels he knows exactly how she feels and what she needs to get her to the next level! If you or your child are interested in getting to the next level with shot or discus I would recommend Coach Lewis he will get you where you need to be!

We have really enjoyed our experience with Coach Marvin over the last few months. He goes above and beyond just coaching, and at this point he is more like family. He and my son are, in a word " tight ". We are now heading to regionals in Waco next week. If you are looking for the right teacher, experience, and character to train your athlete to improve their skills, he is your guy!!!!!!
