McDaniel went on to play at UCLA and is currently continuing his career at San Jose State University, demonstrating Coach T’s ability to develop athletes from youth level to Division I college competition.

Great Coach!

Coach Robert is great with younger athletes. Took my daughter for her first session and she feels like she learned so much. Making learning new things fun and shows how to properly do drill not just telling her how. She enjoyed her first session and can't wait for more upcoming sessions.

My child just had their second session with Coach T, and we’re already so impressed!
Coach T has a great way of connecting with young athletes while clearly being very knowledgeable about sprinting technique and speed development. Even in just two sessions, we've seen improvement in both form and confidence. They break things down in a way that’s easy to understand and really motivating. We're excited to see how much progress is made in the coming weeks!

Great and knowledgeable coach. Great attitude with the athletes.

Very knowledgeable and provides great feedback. Works one on one and tailors the training base on the needs. Great personality and provides positive and motivating feedback. Highly recommend!

Coach T, has been an excellent choice for Hope. His demeanor with the kids and how he makes practice fun, makes her want to keep coming back. Coach uses great technique in showing property form and stretching. Hope has improved greatly in only 4 practices.

Coach T is amazing! My son loved him and learned so much in just one session. Can't wait to do more!

We are so glad to have our daughter train with Coach T. We always look forward to his training.

Coach T is great with our teenager. He knows how to connect with the kids and makes the trainings fun for them.

I have had 2 sessions with Coach T. In that brief time, Coach T was able to identify strengths, weaknesses, areas of emphasis, and put a training plan in place for me. He is not only coaching me physically but mentally, as well. I look forward to our next sessions and the athlete/person that comes out on the other side!

My daughter has been to just a few trainings but she loves it and we are seeing great progress.

You are awesome

Coach Taylor is an excellent coach. He has so much energy and is alway so positive and wants to help build each athlete to their potential. We would recommend him to anybody who is willing to take their talent to the next level.

He was on time and very thorough. Coach T got straight to work with my daughter,

Coach T is amazing with my daughter. He is full of energy, fun, and knows how to motivate her even when the workouts are hard! If you’re looking for a trainer/coach that helps bring out the best in you as an athlete and an individual he’s you’re guy. His focus truly is on the athlete as a whole, which helps build up self esteem and the “I can” attitude.

As a parent I enjoy learning how to support her and the purpose of the each drill. He also always has a plan, he keeps thorough notes and shares them with us, which is a bonus because we see the progress since the times don’t lie! Coach T has been in the coaching world for years and as a youth I remember him working athletes out at MJC and I’m happy to now call him my daughters coach!

Thanks Coach T!

Working with Coach T has been a blessing. My daughter Adison is a natural runner, she just needed to be coached. Going with Coach T we have gained not just a coach but a coach who really cares about the whole aspect of running track. He has been coaching adison the right way and in doing so we feel sky’s the limit. We have definitely made the right choice in using Coach T, he’s a savior. . With the help of Coach T her confidence level is out the roof. Highly recommend using Coach T

I've known Coach T since I was a student at MJC. He continues to be exceptional at what he does, easily making it not just new experience for the bonus daughter but a personal experience. With one session we were able to see a difference in her speed and agility in softball and know with subsequent sessions she will hit new levels faster than she has before. Coach T's knowledge in stretches, drills and body mechanics is top notch. Without saying a word he could tell that she was nursing an injury and immediately adjusted his workout plan to show her stretches and drills to help that specific injury as well as incorporate a workout that would accommodate the injury.

It's been a blast having her work with Coach T, I'd recommend him to anyone.

Under Coach Robert's guidance, my daughter has achieved remarkable results. Many athletes under his guidance have set personal bests and achieved great success in their competitions. His commitment to his athletes and his passion for the sport are truly remarkable, and his dedication to helping them reach their full potential is truly inspiring.

For anyone needing to get their athlete to the next level in ANY sport, Coach T is the go to. We have seen such an improvement in our kids data just from a few months. He knows how to motivate and dive them to reach the next goal. You can be a D1 athlete and know what to teach your kid, Coach T somehow gets them to do it 🤣

Coach T is truly the best speed, agility, all-around amazing coach! He personalizes every individual training like they are individuals. It doesn’t matter what shape you’re in, he will create a work out that makes sense and works for you! My daughter plays softball and my son plays football. He is s not just a track & field trainer. Since my children began working with him, they have both improved mentally and physically and most definitely excelled in both of their sports! Not only is Coach T a phenomenal trainer, he’s an amazing, great, and honest person that truly cares about each and everyone one of his students! He is hands-down the best coach my children have ever had the true pleasure of working with! Not only does he train my children, but he shows up to their sporting events and cheers them on as if they were his own! Coach T is so much more than a trainer, he has become my friend and part of the family! I found Coach T by chance on-line and I honestly believe that everything truly happens for a reason. We are completely blessed since the day we met Coach T!!! Simply said….you won’t be disappointed for choosing Coach T.

Our son compete in track and field in his own team. But we still needed a coach to coach our son 1 on 1. We found coach T and we have to drive to modesto from the Bay to meet with him to train our son for Track. Coach T was the best and he train our son with different type of stretches , explained to our son all the running techniques. He timed our son 100meters, teach him how to setup his block for relays. Teach him how to run the curve, which our son learnt alot from him with the small amount of time that we paid him to train our son. And not forgetting he made the training fun and our son enjoyed it. I highly recommend coach T and for sure we will be back for more sessions. Thank you coach T😊

If you are serious about becoming a better athlete, Coach T is the person you want in your corner! He has YEARS of experience and you will learn something new during every session. I look forward to continue training with Coach T and you should too!

Are experience with coach T was awesome. He has a ton of experience. I had my son do some training with him for track. Coach T work worked with him on warm ups and stretches, proper body mechanics and explosion out of the box. In the 3 sessions we had I seen a big difference.

We had our second session with coach Robert and I am already see a difference in my son speed and agility. Coach Robert’s style and approach to training is awesome. He is very motivational and upbeat. I know that we found the right coach to help my son improve his speed and agility.

Love this guy! Really knows his stuff and am very pleased with my son’s progress since he has been working with Coach T. Would definitely recommend.

Coach T! I found him on Coach up after trying to find someone to work with my daughter on her lateral speed for fastpitch softball. First lesson he was able to identify my daughters strengths and weaknesses, then proposed a plan to get her to achieve her goals. In my experience, instructors tend struggle with establishing trust with athletes to try and get them to be confident in the instruction and the instructor. Not a Coach T! He was very energetic but relaxed while explaining to my daughter what to do, how to do it and why. This created an environment that allowed her to quickly see results in technique alone and was fun for her! I think it enabled my daughter to not be so “about her business” (serious) when it came to work ethic and executing the drills. She’s learning how to have fun and train hard.

I just started training my 10y old daughter with Coach T and so far I've been impressed. She has already had improvements in a lot of areas. I like his attention to detail, and his sessions are driven by data he collects from the session. He also makes sure what physical condition she is in before the start of practice so that he can tailor the session accordingly. He gives a report after each session which I enjoy reading. He is great with kids and is quite entertaining. My daughter and I look forward to continuing her training with Coach T.😎

Coach T is fantastic!

We hired him to work with our kids over winter break to improve their running form and speed. They improved very quickly with Coach T’s coaching. They also really looked forward to their sessions with him as well. Coach T is great with kids and knows how to help them improve while also having fun.

If there was 10 stars, that’s what I would give him. Amazing at what he does, understands and knows exactly what your athlete needs to do in order to reach full potential. He wants nothing but the best for your athlete, absolutely amazing!!

Sara loves track. She runs the 100, 200, and relay and I have a feeling that she going to improve under Coach Roberts trading methods. Coach Roberts is very easy going and makes training in track fun. He has a wealth of knowledge and years of teaching experience to share with students. In two trading sessions, he showed Sara various track training methods, from working with blocks, proper warm up and stretching drills, various core work outs, ladder and hurdle training, etc. He teaches and then explains why your training this way and how it will benefit you. Sara enjoys training and Coach Robert has a lot to teach her. We feel lucky and fortunate to call him are Coach.

Coach Robert has been AMAZING coaching our daughter for her high school Track Team. We are so thankful to have his expertise, he has helped her so much in just the three sessions. We are excited to see our daughter continue to grow and develop in her abilities under Coach Robert's direction. Thank you Coach "T"...your the BEST!!! M. Berry :)

Absolutely impressed with Coach T!! My daughter has shown increased levels of confidence all around. This one on one coaching was the best decision for my daughter. I will continue this method of coaching for a while because what we’ve seen so far is worth our time & our investment.

Thank you Coach!

I am so happy that we found Coach Robert. He is amazing!!! My daughter wanted help with her running and learning new techniques.
