Coach Kent is great! Very knowledgeable and patient. I can tell already that he is going to be the secret weapon to helping my son sprint faster! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Coach Kent,
I appreciate your methods and patience with a beginning runner. I believe Landon has the ability to develop into an improved athlete and these early lessons will service as a solid baseline for his growth and motivation to continue on his path. Thanks for committing time to Landon’s development!

Thanks,
Vernon

He was amazing. Taught our daughter fundamentals in throwing sports she would have never got at our home team.

Coach Kent was wonderful at our first training session for our 11 year old almost 12 year old son. He was clear on training exercises to help build towards his goal and we are very much looking forward to moving towards additional training sessions with him and help our son build her confidence and his ability

He provided generous amount of helpful information to improve my daughters sprinting. Impressed!

Coach Kent is great! My son had is first session last week - Coach Kent fully customized his approach/strategy after determining what would best fit my son's makeup/style. He then coached me after the session to help reinforce the techniques and strategies to implement - outstanding coach!

After only 3 sessions, there's already visible improvement in my daughter's hurdling and sprinting techniques. Due to these marked differences, she will continue to work with Coach Roosevelt through the rest of the season and beyond. Truly, my only regret is that it took me this long to connect her with this level of individualized training!

My son and I are glad we met Coach Roosevelt, there was a noted if not immediate change in his stride and approach to the track which made him more confident in ability to be faster and successful, we look forward to continuing to work with Coach Roosevelt.

Coach Roosevelt took time to first talk to my kids, understand where they want to go and assessed their current status. He then created a roadmap of how they can go to achieve the goals they aspired. Found him to be very knowledgeable and honest.

Coach Rosevelt has helped our son refine his form and given him valuable input on mentally preparing for a race. He plans to continue working with Coach Kent through his Senior season.

Wow! Coach Roosevelt is a great coach! His knowledge as well as patience when teaching is awesome. After just one session my son said it was the BEST coaching he has had for track & field. His training techniques are like none we've had before- definitely top notch. My son walked away with a huge smile on his face and mentioned how lucky he felt to be taught by someone who knows this sport in & out. We are eager to train more with Coach Roosevelt & look forward to seeing results out on the track! I would recommend Coach Roosevelt to anyone looking for one on one training. Thanks again!

Coach Roosevelt easily connected to my shy daughter and brought out a wealth of information that he was easily able to convert into a training plan for her. 5 minutes later they were on the track going to work. Easy pace but well defined reasons of why and what it will accomplish.

This observation of Coach Kent comes from one who is familiar with good and not so good coaches. My personal experience covers years of coaching youth football and Taekwondo. I have training in organizations like USA Football, USA Taekwondo, AAU, PCA (Positive Coaching Alliance), and more. So when I review Coach Kent and say his knowledge is current, his technique of teaching also reflects his continuing effort to stay relevant, his positive communication skills excel, and also of great importance, his ability to connect with athletes. My son is and will take advantage of this opportunity with Coach Kent.

First session was great. Really spent to the to analyze technique and made adjustments based on what was observed. Was very patient and made the session very enjoyable. Got a lot out of the first session. Looking forward to more training sessions.

Great knowledge and fantastic communicator/educator. My son learned a great deal after one session focusing on the long jump and triple jump. We will be booking more sessions with Coach Kent.

Coach Roosevelt is a great coach.We had booked more sessions with him. His training and technique will help ny son to improve a lot.
I will definitely recommend Coach Roosevelt to anyone.

Coach Kent is a phenomenal track coach. We had our first session for my 13 year old daughter yesterday and it was amazing. Coach broke down what she was there for and what he can do help her out with her running technique before heading to the track. My wife and I really liked how he broke down our daughters stride and diagnosed the flaws in her upper body and lower body when showing us a video of her sprint. They then went back to the track to do drills to start to correct her technique. My daughter still has a long ways to go but after just one session we were able to see huge progress in her running technique. Can't wait to see coach next week and see the progression with my daughter.

I recently had my first session with Coach Kent and he was very helpful and patient. And I would recommend him as a coach to help improve your technique.

My son Sharvin realized this in his first session itself.Sharvin is very keen to have more session with coach Kent.His keen observations and knowledge in coaching will benefit my son.I would highly recommend coach Roosevelt Kent.

My daughter had an amazing coaching session with Coach Kent... she learned and improved more in an hour with him than she has in over a year! She can’t wait to get another session under her belt!

My son has really enjoyed his initial lessons with Coach Roosevelt. He is very knowledgable and is able to effectively translate his observations into effective drills that improves technique. He's also very personable. We really like him as a coach!

My daughter (12 yo) enjoyed her session with Coach Kent and we plan to book into the future. He was very approachable and positive. She’s looking forward to her next session.

Communication and technical knowledge is key to coaching an athlete. My daughter has run track for three years and did not understand what was needed to improve. Coach Roosevelt’s professional individualized approach has motivated her to want to focus on doing her best. The feedback he provides during and after completing a session was clear and motivating. I would definitely recommend him for beginning to advanced levels

Great technical coach with excellent knowledge. My son learned a lot in his first session, he's looking forward to having additional sessions with Coach Kent!

Coach Roosevelt has been able to provide my daughter with both drills and big picture concepts, which has quickly led to improvement. I chose Coach Roosevelt because I noticed his athletes seemed to be the best prepared going in to each event. It is a pleasure to watch him coach because of his unique ability to communicate and work with each athlete to bring out their best.

We were excited to find someone w experience helping distance athletes in both cross country and track to help our daughter achieve her goals.

Coach Kent has been wonderful with my daughter! He really knows what he’s doing and focuses on ensuring proper technique and form from the very start, which will allow her to be a better athlete in the future. He keeps the sessions positive and my daughter really looks forward to the sessions. Thanks!

Coach Roosevelt was thorough and helpful in our first session. We look forward to working with Coach R going forward.

Coach Roosevelt was great. He’s very knowledgeable and obviously committed. My son liked him a lot and he related to him very well. I highly recommend.

My daughter had her first session with Coach Kent yesterday. He accomplished more in one hour than I've seen in three years. He connected with her immediately. She is flying again. We are going back for more. I would recommend Coach Kent to any athlete who has the desire to improve. Thank you Coach Kent!

Coach Roosevelt is an exceptional coach! After one session with my son, he identified fundamental flaws, but more importantly, strategies to correct them and improve my son's performance. In one session, he accomplished more with my son than his school track coaches did last season. This is a case where you truly do get what you pay for, but in the case of Coach Roosevelt, you also get a coach that takes the time to fundamentally understand both your mental and physical approach to preparation and competing and then provides an highly individualized plan for you to succeed based on your objectives and your definition of "success". Highly recommended!!!

Coach Roosevelt provided an analysis for my son. My son gravitated toward him during the first session. Coach Roosevelt demonstrates the ability to be an influential coach for my son. My older son attended my youngest son session that day. He currently high jumps for Fresno State. My oldest is also looking forward to training with Coach Roosevelt.

Coach Roosevelt was very helpful for my son in track. He not only gives good critiques but breaks down what down the mechanics of what is good and what is not so that the athlete can improve. I highly recommend Coach Roosevelt.

Coach Roosevelt has been working with my daughter. Within the first couple days he has already been working on her form and giving her techniques and exercises to improve her form. I’m confident with more sessions he will help my daughter improve her times! My daughter really enjoys his coaching style and his knowledge of training techniques! Looking forward to continuing training sessions!

Coach Roosevelt has been working with my daughter to improve her time and form so that she can strive towards her full potential in running track. After just one training session we can already see a difference in her performance. Kyla is extremely excited to continue to train with Coach Roosevelt.

Coach Roosevelt was great even though I was limited due to leg pain he showed me easy to train to help it.

We completed our evaluation with Coach Kent. He did a great job of identifying her strengths and weaknesses and went right to work on helping her improve. He took the time to explain things in a way that my daughter understood. She really enjoyed working with him. We scheduled additional training and look forward to seeing the results.

Great experience with Coach Kent. He is friendly, professional, and very experienced at coaching teens. He motivated and inspired our reluctant 13 year old at his first lesson. Our son even came home and ran on the treadmill after Coach’s workout. Coach taught him new warm up and training exercises specific for track and field events. We are looking forward to more lessons and a strong event season.

We were looking for a MD coach to improve technique and time for indoor season. We found coach Kent's profile on CoachUp and recognized him from our years competing with USATF and his Revolution Express athlete's success.

Kent is comfortable teaching all levels athletes and honest on reporting athlete's strengths and weaknesses.

Kent's a super knowledgeable coach of many track & field events. Although we focused primarily on mid-distance training this last month. We hope to get back on schedule and incorporate steeplechase training later this spring. We enjoyed nine workout sessions last month and know it will pay dividends through the indoor and outdoor season likewise.

Kent has a flexible schedule and communicates promptly to requests through CoachUp profile and text.

I strongly recommend Coach Kent Roosevelt to any athlete or team who is considering taking their training to the next level.

We have been working with Coach Kent since last summer to get our daughter ready for track season. He is so good at structuring our daughter’s training to fit her needs!

Coach Roosevelt has been very helpful refining my daughters running technique and form. She has shown improved speed and quickness. She enjoys working with coach, he has a positive coaching style. As a parent I've found coach to be easy and reliable to work with.

We found coach Roosevelt through coachup and we couldn't be happier with the awesome training my 13 yr old daughter received!! Not only did my daughter receive great instructional training, she had a great time with coach Roosevelt. Near the end of my daughters lesson she looks at me and said " dad, I really like this coach!", that's when I new coach Roosevelt would be the coach for us! Thanks again coach!!!

Coach Kent is the real deal, within 30 minutes he corrected some major problems with my son's technique and to top it off he's a great guy!

My son met with Coach Roosevelt yesterday afternoon in-spite of the recording breaking heat wave. He took the time to get to know my son better, as well as, watched him complete jumping/sprinting drills to gain a better understanding of his current level. My son felt comfortable with Coach Roosevelt's training style and knowledge of the sport. He looks forward to more sessions with him.

Awesome Coach! Knows the sport and all the individual events involved. My son feels good about his sessions with Roosevelt and looks forward to the remaining sessions together!
Learning more about his legs and positioning then he actually has learned from his high school Hurdle coach!

We had our first session with Coach Kent yesterday. Both my 14yr old son and I were impressed and found him very knowledgeable, patient and great to work with! I especially appreciated his positive attitude and encouragement. My son can be hard to read sometimes and for him to tell me he really liked him and got a lot out of their session says a lot. He worked with my son on teaching him how to come out to the blocks, worked on his running technique and evaluated his long jump. He also taught my son the importance of warming up and stretching and helped him understand why it is so important. They got a lot accomplished during their session. We look forward to working with Coach Kent again soon. Thanks coach!

My son absolutely loved his sessions with Coach Roosevelt, and with track season over at school, he is asking for me to set up more training with coach so that he can work on conditioning through the summer. Coach Roosevelt clearly has a knack for working with teenagers, and runs a great, focused session that makes the time seem to fly by. As a parent, I appreciate the way he is able to put new concepts into terms that my son can work with. At the same time, he explains the "why" behind technique which really drives it all home. I would definitely recommend Coach Roosevelt!

In just a few months of training, I have seen vast improvement working with Coach Kent far beyond any prior training I’ve experienced in my six-year track and field career. Coach Kent has provided me with not only superior track and field technical training but additionally taught me valuable mental training skills and concepts to carry with me through my collegiate career. As a multi-event athlete, I need to juggle training in several different events and specialties which Coach Kent accommodates with ease and provides top-tier technique training in every single one! Coach Kent is not only an experienced coach, but extremely knowledgeable in regards to the best techniques available for all athletes as well as the physiological side of track and field as well, providing me with valuable explanations as to why my body moves in a certain way, and how to train it to its best potential. I truly believe I wouldn’t be where I am today, without the help of Coach Kent. He has had an immense impact on the progression of my track and field skills and techniques in the Long Jump, High Jump, Triple Jump, 100m Hurdles, and various other sprinting-related events. My technique has improved astronomically since working with Coach as well as my confidence in my abilities, allowing me to see promising results after each session. Without question, I would highly recommend Coach Kent to any athlete looking to take steps towards the next level as he’s had an incredibly positive impact on my track and field career and will surely have a positive impact on your’s or your child’s abilities as well.
