Coach Mike is great! It was the first time my kids actually smiled and wanted to stay engaged. He was able to communicate and train effectively. My kids understood and worked to correct there form and technique. I can see why he is rated number 1 in Florida. I will recommend him to anyone.

Kara (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike has done a great job helping my athletic 8 year old but has had a akward run! After only 5 sessions his technique is much better and he is faster! My son loves sessions with Coach Mike and we can’t wait to watch him grow even more!

Mike is indeed a great coach. He takes care and time to individualize one's training needs as opposed to simply prescribing a canned routine. From a thorough interview and just a couple of sessions our son was able to set a new PR for himself taking 10 seconds off his 1500m run. And with the form fixes Mike instituted, he now looks like a pro with a new/correct posture and stride. Better yet, at the end of his race this week, he said "Dad I feel great," - which was a measurable improvement over the prior weeks' "I felt like I was going to pass-out." Hand's down, Mike's time is a worthwhile investment!

Chuck (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike exceeded our expectations. He worked with my 2 boys on their speed and endurance. Coach is very well educated in this field and that was impressive. But, what was more impressive was his enthusiasm with the kids and his method of teaching. The kids loved it and of course want to do more training. Coach MIke is just a flat out good dude.
Thank you Coach!

Octavia (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike is knowledgeable and very patient. My son has recently started back running after sitting out for a while due to a knee injury. During his first session he was in pain, coach Mike allowed him to sit and rest. While he rested coach Mike pointed out several flaws in his form and immediately addressed them. After just 1 session he made my son feel more confident. We definitely look forward to more sessions.

Conal (CoachUp client)

Coach Williams is a great coach. I needed a lot of help to pass the FBI PFT test. I went to Mike and he made a real effort to understand what I needed and gave me a simple and easy to understand program working on my goals (1.5 mile run and 300 m sprint). He even gave me workouts to increase my pushups and situps. He answered all my follow-up questions when I texted him almost immediately. I was able to pass the PFT to the new Agent standard with his help. I would definitely recommend him to others as a coach. I'm over 50 so it goes to show you if you got the right mindset and the right coach you can do it.

Dovile (CoachUp client)

Absolutely the best Coach!!! My kids worked hard and he made it fun! Time flew by fast, it was never boring, he made them laugh and relax when it was a challenge and they got frustrated, he knew how to handle the situation. Tons of useful information and the best part? Super professional and knowledgable, fun human being! Extremely passionate about the training and very supportive! Looking forward to working with him! Thank you!

Rick (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike did a great job helping my son set the foundation to improving his run time for the AF PT test. Look forward to the next session and what additional things he is going to teach him.

Update: What an amazing coach! Because of time constraints my son was only able to book two sessions with Coach Mike over Christmas break, but Coach went above and beyond setting up a training plan for him for when he went back to college, He stuck with it and improved his 1.5 mile run time by more than 2 minutes in only a month. We will definitely book more sessions when my son is home from summer break and reap the rewards from this superb coach..

I just completed my first session with Coach Mike. Incredible experience I’ve gained just from our first session. He’s down to earth and detailed in his explanations, a true expert of his craft.

I’m working with Coach Mike to improve my technique and speed at the 5k. After the first session, we were able to diagnose the issue with my form and already saw results from the first few drills. I’ve booked my next session and will continue working with him for the long-term.

Excited for the journey! - Evan

Yolandie (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike is very thorough in explaining what to change, he is a great coach!

January (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike was amazing and a blessing to my son. He was patience and understanding. He challenged Shawn and showed him multiple techniques. Very much excited to continue working with him. Shawn felt more confident at his next track meet. Coach Mike even checks in to see how Shawn is coming alone.

Tim (CoachUp client)

In a short period of time under Coach Williams’ expertise, my running has already improved. So far I’ve only had two sessions, in which he brings knowledge, a good game plan, and motivation. It’s a good feeling when you see results, but more importantly I’m excited to meet the end goal.

*Coach Williams has also been quick to respond, an effective communicator, and overall a great coach.

Rudy (CoachUp client)

I really appreciate his expertise and understanding how difficult it is to have a kid (my son) enjoy his first outing or practice session as a track athlete. Great patience with kids and awesome knowledge of the sport. Keep up the good work. Really appreciate it.

Elizabeth (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike is excellent with kids. He knows his stuff and is very professional.

Nathan (CoachUp client)

Terry (CoachUp client)

My kids are in middle school and we thought that they were showing more commitment to XC. My son plans to run in high school next year. Coach did s full evaluation, provided a series of quality warm ups for them to use in addition to what they do with their team coach. He also provided coming on how to run more efficiently.

My kids were not good about following up even with strong encouragement from Mom and Dad. This is not coach Mike's fault at all. You can tell that coach has a ton of experience with coaching runners as well as his own running. He watches great runners and uses that analysis as well as his own extensive successful experience to improve his athletes. I can recommend him highly.

Glenn (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike is both very knowledgeable and patient.
In our first session - he coached and pushed my daughter (who doesn’t enjoy running) into a hard working dedicated runner.

Heather (CoachUp client)

Great first session. Looking forward to doing the work to get the improvements I’m hoping for as a brand new runner.

BobbiAnn (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike is working wonders with my daughter. She left her session asking me to make sure I buy more session. Coach Mike makes working hard fun. Nobody is better than Coach Mike!!! Feel very blessed to have found him.

Stephanie (CoachUp client)

We have been training with Coach Mike for just a very short time (completed our 3rd session) but we already see a big improvement in our daughter’s running form and her speed. Coach Mike is not only experienced in the running field, he is knowledgeable in the mechanics and in form and literally measures each step along the way. He is a very personable coach and by understanding my daughter’s particular goals, he is tailoring a specific program that utilizes both her strengths and her weaknesses..... while making the training sessions fun.

Matias (CoachUp client)

Some people may look for results and see that as success. We were looking for someone my son would enjoy working with who had the right combination of motivation and skill. Found them both with Coach Mike.

Ildi (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike really knows his stuff. Very high energy and motivational. He’s really helping my son with his running form.

Jana (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike worked with our son for the first time today, and I was amazed! Not only did he start to analyze his form from the very beginning, he worked on drills that by the end of the hour completely changed how our son runs. Besides the actual drills, he explained why he was doing them. To top it off, our son was so happy after an hour work out and that was due in part to the progress he made but specifically in response to Coach Mike’s positive, energetic attitude! He’s already looking forward to the next session!

Omoro (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike is what I’ve been looking for to train my 2 boys. He definitely has tons of knowledge of proper techniques to take your child to next level. I would recommend Coach Mike to any track athlete that wants top notch.

Coach Williams on first meeting was not only friendly, knowledgeable, but also very good at his task using both scientific methods for speed and an encouragement for improvement.

David (CoachUp client)

My 14 year old son worked with Coach Mike for the first time today. Based on his reviews, and background, I had very high expectations. Coach Mike met, or exceeded, all of them. I could see that he was very passionate about helping his athletes attain their goals. He is a great communicator.

Importantly to me, Coach Mike keeps up-to-date on his training methods. My son is a baseball player and has worked 1 X 1 with many coaches over the years. I have found that many continue too teach with what they did X number of years ago. My son enjoyed working with Coach Mike and sees great benefits in working with him.

I recommend Coach Mike to any athlete, or parent, looking to improve their speed.

Toan (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike is awesome. My daughter love the training session and can’t wait for more. He explained and taught basic mechanics in running, made it fun and engainging throughout the training session. Most importantly, he knows how to motivate and build her confidence. Great Coach, great person. Go Gators.

Tristan (CoachUp client)

I was preparing to leave for military training and had very specific running goals related to the two mile run required for the fitness test at officer candidate selection. My goal was to run at an eight minute pace for two miles and I started at just under a ten minute pace. In three months Mike was able to get me down to just under an eight minute pace and increase my endurance. He gave me specific directives to accomplish when I was training by myself in between sessions and this culminated in me being able to endure a sustained 50 minute run at a ten minute pace and the fastest mile I was able to run was 07:30. I saw a lot of improvement in the span of a few months and felt really prepared to re-enter active duty.

Naomie (CoachUp client)

I had my first session with coach Mike. It was exactly what I needed. I look forward to continuing my growth with him.

Randy (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike certainly knows his stuff! He evaluated my son's abilities and made great observations...giving him the correct path to move forward! I will use him in the future!

Kelli (CoachUp client)

My son is very pleased with his training

Alison (CoachUp client)

Had my first session with Coach Mike. He was polite, professional, and very informative. He gave me some useful tips to help enhance my running speed. Thanks, Coach Mike.

Benjamin (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike....Has a wealth of knowledge that clearly translates into results. We actually took a break after 15 sessions because of time restraints, school, sports etc... and 6 months later we are back. There is no denying the significant difference and level of improvement my son experienced while training with Coach Mike. Hopefully, this time around we can squeeze him into our hectic week permanently. As usually, Thanks....for the great job!!!

Jackie (CoachUp client)

It is quite apparent that Coach Mike knows about the mechanics of running. He jumps right in and evaluates his students very quickly, gets them to understand why they are not improving, and shows them the correct techniques to get them to improve their times and their confidence. After only 1 session, I can see an improvement in my child's running form. That's what it's all about--maximizing their potential and giving them the knowledge to do their best. Can't wait for the next race!

Sylvester (CoachUp client)

Before coming to Coach Mike, my son was ready to give up running track because he was not seeing any results. Now after 3 sessions he has renewed confidents to pursue his goals.

Mark (CoachUp client)

Wow.
In just one hour Coach Mike had erased a couple of years of incorrect middle school coaching and had my daughter on new ground.
His great personality combined with years of coaching really shined through and has my daughter excited about track again.
We had planned just one session since we are passing thru the area but have decided to get a couple more and gain more knowledge.
Highly recommend you try one session and you'll find out the same.
His session on starting blocks will change my daughter's season.
Thank you Coach Mike.

Rosario (CoachUp client)

Coach Williams has been wonderful! Our daughter is 9 years old and our family is new to the world of running. He has been very patient, professional and encouraging to us. He certainly knows his stuff (there's a whole science behind running that I wasn't even aware of). Our daughter gets weekly feedback and practice assignments. He is working on her posture, technique and strength. We are very happy with our choice to work with Coach Williams!

William (CoachUp client)

Very knowledgeable and has the technology and ability to observe and analyze running technique and break it down in order to help you improve your form

Rich (CoachUp client)

Great instructor. Coach Mike assessed my current level and provided direction on how to technique to achieve my goals. He promptly followed up with a workout plan for me to follow.

Mark (CoachUp client)

Today we had our first session with Coach Mike. Coach Mike was very detailed with his evaluation of my son. He identified strengths and weaknesses during this session. I believe Coach Mike and my son definitely clicked during this session. Coach Mike demonstrated techniques in real time as well as video. You call tell Coach Mike has custom training techniques and not regular same ole routines. This was evident due to the fact this was my son's third (Soccer, Track, and Coach Mike) training session today. Coach Mike tweak workout due to the earlier training. Coach Mike showed expertise and knowledge as it pertains to individual one on one training.

Matthew (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike was a real help to me. I don't come from a running background, and therefore lacked a lot of the basics. Coach helped me to make up for that, and taught me how to be a more fast and efficient runner, in addition to being friendly and easy to work with!

Coach Mike is in the evaluation stage with my son. In the first lesson he noticed needed changes in form and after the second has a plan to get things corrected. He works great with my son, gives recommendations on exercises and communicates very well with me to assist. I feel he will take him to the next level and higher in time.

Laura (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike was fantastic. He worked hard with my son, and the kid loved it. He is clear, knowledgeable and has great charisma. We are looking forward to his next session!

Melissa (CoachUp client)

Coach Mike has been wonderful to work with. My son started running track this year and I thought he could use some help with his stride. After his first session with Coach Mike he improved immediately and after a few training sessions with Coach Mike he has really made great progress. His times in the 800 have dropped dramatically in a short time. Coach Mike even made time to attend one of my son's school track meets, the look on my son's face was priceless as he had another personal best. Coach Mike has a lot of knowledge and really wants his students to succeed.

Definitely saw an improvement with my run after just one session.

Coach Mike is a great coach for those looking to build great technique and form. Every minute was spent being working and getting better. Looking forward to working with him again and getting my 5k and 10k times down significantly

Kwena (CoachUp client)

Coach Williams is not only a phenomenal track coach but a super fantastic coach at basketball as well. My shooting percentage and everything else has gone up extremely. Learning the game of basketball through him makes it easier to understand and his training to be a freak of an athlete is outstanding. Amazing personality and will always look out for his students/players. The only bad I have to say is I wish I met him when i was a kid.

Caleen (CoachUp client)

Coach Williams has truly been amazing with my son as he is just coming back from a knee injury. With just 2 sessions in Coach analyzed and immediately started to improve on areas that needed work. His training methods are awesome my son said never had that type of training before which speaks for itself. His dedication,guidance, support and enthusiasm goes beyond expectations and I know with continuous training and support my son will exceed his goals to be a great collegiate runner.

Eddie Gonzalez (Testimonial)

Mike Williams has completely transformed my daughter from a below average sprinter to one of the fastest on her Soccer team. And the most amazing part of this transformation is that so far we've only done three one hour sessions. I knew that my daughter had it in her but something just didn't look right with her sprinting form. Her mechanics just didn't seem right. Well, Mike Williams taught her a few things and now she can outrun others in Soccer and she's suddenly able to run away with the ball. Thank you Mike, we're looking forward to more sprint coaching from you.

JJ Clark 2008 Olympic Coach (Testimonial)

Joetta Clark Diggs 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000 Olympian (Testimonial)

Over the years, I have watched Mike transform from a Division 1 NCAA competitor into a knowledgeable, passionate, results driven dedicated coach. His work ethic as an athlete, his research, and his workouts will help his clients maximize their skills.
