More About Coach Raymond
I ran track competitively for 3 years, two in highschool and one in junior college. My junior year I was the 2nd leg on our teams 4x400 relay team, wich took 5th in state that year in 1993.My relay split was 48.2 seconds. My senior year in highschool I was a state finalist in the 400 meters. I ran on a bad hamstring I tweaked the night before the race in the semi final round. I took 8th place with a time of 50.1 seconds. The night before in the semi finals I ran a personal best time of 47.2 seconds. Later that day I ran the anchor leg(4th) on our 4x400 meter relay team wich placed 3rd. I ran my 2nd best relay split that day on a very strained hamstring in 46.2 seconds. You can view this race on youtube! Just type in: California state meet 1994 4x400 relay. I'll be the guy in 5th place Red & White top with Red shorts. I was also on our teams 400 meter relay 3rd leg, we took 3rd place with a time of 41.6 seconds. I ran only one year of track in junior college at Long Beach City College in 1995. I had great coaching from the GREAT Ron Alice, who went on to coach at USC! I aslo ran on the junior olympic team 2 years in a row in 1993-94. In 1994 I was on the junior olympic team that broke the national record in the 4x400 meter relay with a time of 3.07. That team had NFL Superbowl Champion Patrick Johnson & Olympic Gold medalist Tyree Washington on it as well!!!!! We also took the gold in the 4x100 meter relay as well!
In highschool I came up with a technique in the 400 meter relay wich cut down 1.5 seconds on our teams time by having a flawless exchange. This is a special package I teach teams. The cost is $500 dollars and includes 3 sessions with me to help you improve your exchanges in the acceleration zones!
So I have plenty to teach athletes who want to learn from a coach who was coached by some of the best. I'm also a sports psychologist, self taught and naturally gifted in this area. I took some classes on it in college and was always the brains behind the success of any team I ever played on. Building the confidence of the mind is actually more important than building the confidence of your body!
I like to talk with my clients and or parents to find out what the athletes goals they wish to accomplish while being trained by me. This will help me evaluate the time table in which we will need to reach our goals!!!!!
I believe in my coaching abilities, I been coaching really since I was 8 years old. I say that because I always understood the sport much better than my peers and I had the ability to translate what I needed them to do for our teams success. That made me an extention of the coach.

Coach Raymond is as advertised. After just one session my son showed dramatic improvement in foot work and throwing technique. This man can coach and inspire athletes to do more. I would recommend Coach Raymond for anyone who wants to get better at any level. He will give you 100%.
Bonnie (CoachUp client)
Coach Raymond is very helpful. He gave advice and even wrote down a list for my son to work on. He really cares for the athlete's success. Thank you for your help, Coach Raymond!
Mike (CoachUp client)
Coach Raymond is a great coach! After just one session my son (high school football) left with more confidence and motivation to play the game. He also taught him more skills in one session than his pop warner coaches taught in 4 seasons. This guy is amazing and worth every penny he charges.
Dalton (CoachUp client)
Coach Ray is a gifted Coach and easily explains what you need to do to become a better athlete. I look forward to see an increase in my game and confidence in the next couple of months. If you want to become as great as you can be he's the perfect Coach for the job.
Elijah (CoachUp client)
Coach Raymond is an excellent coach, he really pay close attention to his students. What I really like about coach Raymond is that he's really detailed.
Joshua (CoachUp client)
Coach raymond knows what he is doing. When all my coaches and teammates said I was done and doubted me by saying football was basically done for me coach raymond has taken me in as his own and has let me continue football and get better at it and soon be able to play at the college level. He's the guy you are lookin for if you want to get better, because for me it is not time to hang my cleates up and he's given me that shot to continue playing football.
Cristina (CoachUp client)
Very professional and kind coach with a positive attitude. Not a clock watcher and will not waste your time. You can tell from day one how passionate he is about coaching. If you need to improve your footwork and speed, definitely check-out Coach Reed.
Nicole (CoachUp client)
Coach Raymond was great with my son. His footwork drills are topnotch and I saw a lot of growth in a short amount of time. He is a great motivator, and seemed to work well with athletes of all ages. I would highly recommend him.
Greg (CoachUp client)
I was looking to help my daughter gain speed and agility on the soccer field. I read Coach Raymond's Bio and was impressed, so I decided to sign up for training. I was impressed with Coach Raymond's approach. He began by teaching my daughter basic skills in sprinting that I never would have thought of and that alone helped my daughter with her explosiveness and running. Coach Raymond worked my daughter through several drills that helped with strength building. I liked his coaching style and found him to be very informative. I liked that he was prepared with a training plan. He is very personable and made training fun for my daughter. I would train again with him and would recommend Coach Raymond to anyone wanting to improve their speed and agility.
Brad (CoachUp client)
Coach Raymond was very impressive. He had a very thorough philosophy and outline on how he could improve my son's performance on the football field through physical and mental preparation. He connected well with my 9-year-old son. He offered clear instructions that my son was able to follow. He offered praise that really had my son pumped up to perform well. He also gave my son clear instructions on drills that would improve his performance at quarterback and redirected my son's efforts when they were not matching what was being asked. When my son had a problem completing what was asked of him, Coach Raymond immediately broke the task into three easier steps. This allowed my son to complete the three separate parts of the task that he could understand and then string them together to complete what was being asked of him. My son immediately encouraged me to sign him up for more sessions with Coach Raymond. We did and now look forward to our next session with him. Also, Coach Raymond was the closest coach to us at a two-hour drive. Because of who Coach Raymond is, my son and I will make that drive without any hesitation whatsoever.
