More About Coach Ronald
Since 2015, I have been dedicated to coaching athletes at the university level and beyond. My journey began at Azusa Pacific, where I specialized in developing football players’ overall athleticism and speed. At the University of Southern California, I broadened my expertise by working with all Olympic sports, focusing on enhancing performance across various disciplines.
I now own and operate a sports performance club that helps athletes in all sports reach their full potential. My coaching philosophy is rooted in a holistic approach, training the complete athlete to be the best version of themselves, both on and off the field. I am USATF Level 1 Certified and hold a master’s degree in Kinesiology, which further informs my commitment to developing well-rounded athletes.
As a two-sport scholarship athlete, I achieved significant success in both football and track. In football, I was a 2x Conference Champion, playing in 40 games throughout my college career. On the track, I earned multiple All-Conference honors.
Each session begins with a general warm-up to get the blood flowing, followed by running drills focused on gradually refining sprint mechanics. I then incorporate sport-specific movements tailored to the athlete’s unique needs. We conclude with a recap to reinforce learning and ensure continuous improvement.

Coach Ron is awesome! He immediately connected with my athlete Dante. Dante trusts him and believes what he's teaching him already. In one session he's taught Dante skills he'll carry on. Dante honestly feel Coach Ron will help him in his athletic journey.

Melanie Castelli (Testimonial)
Being able to have Ron as a coach for two years was the best thing that could have happened to me in high school. Being a high jumper. my event is normally overlooked due to the fact that it is niche. However, that wasn't the case with Ron. I told him that track and field was something I wanted to pursue in college and once he saw what I was capable of, he constantly looked for opportunities for me to showcase my talent and introduced me to a different level of talent. Some of these opportunities consisted of attending Arcadia (2022 and 2023), Mt. Sac (2023), and Nike Outdoor Nationals (2022). At the beginning of the season. Ron didn't know too much about high jump but he quickly learned what I needed from him as a coach to help me succeed. My practices were tweaked according to what would allow me to perform my best. With these modifications and his constant communication with my high jump coach along with myself I was able to succeed. On top of this, when I started communicating with college coaches, he was always there to help me practice what I was going to say or allow me to run ideas by him. Yes, having workouts designed to make me better helped me become the athlete I am today, but it was the constant positivity and support from Ron that was able to shape my attitude and determination towards the sport, which is the most important characteristic of an amazing coach.
Jennifer Huang (Testimonial)
I've known Coach Ron for only a few seasons but my improvement had shown physically in my racing, but he also helped the mental aspect. Coach Ron breaks down the fundamentals. No matter the amount of experience or the sport, working at speed and power. His dedication doesn't stop within Notre Dame Track, continuing to inspire athletes through The Race Continues Club. Through progression videos, timed trials, or weight room workouts. His patience and effort creates a positive racing environment, allowing athletes to strive further and progress
Aliyah Adle (Testimonial)
Coach Ron has helped me so much with my overall fitness goals as a competitive athlete. I started working with Ron during the offseason, Winter 2023. The 1:1 training, education and lessons have helped me correct and practice my form and running mechanics. It's been motivating to see and feel my own progression as a runner on the track. One example is my drive and starts. I've been pushing off better and accelerating at a quicker pace than ever before. In addition to track, we added time in the gym. I have never worked out in a gym setting let alone lifted weights. The focus and strength training has completely shaped my mindset. He taught me how to properly lift. Through my own determination and his coaching. I can honestly say that we have seen significant progression and added speed in just 2 months (2x week sessions). The training sessions help me to feel more prepared as an athlete. I am excited to see how the training impacts my Spring track and 14U softball season. I will report back as I hope to beat my PRs from last season!
