More About Coach Rachad

I've been coaching track and field for four years now. I am currently the sprints & hurdles coach for Independence High School in Ashburn, Virginia. I have coaching experience with (K-12) and am passionate about sharing my love of the sport with athletes who are looking to pick up the sport, or want to further master their craft. I currently possess a USATF Level 2 coaching certification.

I was a part of my high school's Cross Country, Indoor, and Outdoor Track and Field teams. Notable performances during that time:
2008-2009: All-District in 55M Hurdles/All-District & All-Region 300M Hurdles/All-District & All-Region 110M Hurdles
2009-2010: All-District in 55M Hurdles & Regional Champion/All-District, All-Region, & All-State in 110M Hurdles (Team State Title)

I also competed in Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field for 4 years at Lynchburg College (Now University of Lynchburg):

2010-2011: ODAC Indoor 55M Hurdle Champion/ODAC Outdoor 110M Hurdle Champion/ ODAC Outdoor 400M Hurdle Champion/ ODAC Outdoor 4x4 Meter Relay Champion
2011-2012: ODAC Indoor 60M Hurdle Champion/ODAC Outdoor 110M Hurdle Champion/ ODAC Outdoor 400M Hurdle Champion
2012-2013: ODAC Indoor 60M Hurdle Champion/ODAC Outdoor 110M Hurdle Champion/ ODAC Outdoor 400M Hurdle Champion/ODAC Outdoor 4x4 Meter Relay Champion/National Qualifier in 400M Hurdle, 10th place finish
2013:2014: ODAC Indoor 60M Hurdle Champion/ODAC Outdoor 110M 3rd Place Finish/ ODAC Outdoor 400M Hurdle Champion/ODAC Outdoor 4x4 Meter Relay Champion/National Qualifier in 400M Hurdle, 13h place finish/ODAC/Stellar One Sportsmanship Team

Each practice will be unique to the athlete based on what level they are at in regards to the sport. Are they a beginning hurdler? Experienced sprinter? Do we need to focus on sprint mechanics? Increased flexibility? Sessions will be dictated by a joint game plan between myself and the athlete.

Client Reviews

We were looking for a coach to work with my daughter in the off season to get her ready for track. When we found Coach Rachad little did we know he would far exceed any expectations we were looking for in a coach. My daughter has already learned so much and we could not be happier! Not only is he amazing at what he does as far as coaching, but he is flexible and works with our schedule. I highly recommend him! You will not be disappointed!

Coach Davis is an outstanding coach and great motivator. Our HS son met with Coach Davis to work on block starts for sprints. Coach Davis immediately built a rapport with our son and provided solid instruction. After the training session, our son was excited to work on the lessons learned and ready for us to schedule the next training session. Well done, Coach Davis.

Awesome first session with Coach Rachad! He is a technical expert who can still perform the skills in order to show the athlete the drills. Looking forward to continuing to work with Coach Rachad.
