More About Coach Shakeia

I am a professional Track and Field athlete and I understand what it takes to be the best. Understanding fundamentals is important. There are very few sports that do not involve running and that is definitely my expertise. II began running when I was 9 and been the top athlete continuing through college at Arizona State University. I am a 400m hurdler as well as a heptathlete. I compete in several events and learned from the best in my years of training. Quickness, speed and agility, strength training, etc. I have been coaching ever since I was young but currently work with collegiate athletes, amateurs in many sports to help with technique in which is a very important aspect of any sport as well.I work with young athletes, anyone can be taught all the way op to certain professional levels. I have coached at high schools, personal training, & club sports teams.

I've always gone by a motto that represented my club track team in my younger days. "To be the best, you must outwork the rest" With a strong winning mentality in any aspect of training, anything is possible and many goals can be surpassed! I am training for the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Brazil. I am very serious about getting done, the work that needs to be done while having fun and learning at the same time! :)

As a high schooler and younger I ran track for Aurora flyers. I was national champion every year I competed, and in several events. Also was a national record holder in the 400m hurdles and hold many state and regional records. I was a world ranked hurdler before coming into college.

High school state champion in hurdles and highest scorer to bring team top 3 finish

Arizona State University Alumni , All-American and top 10 all time in 7 events in school track and field history. Ran in the 2008 Olympic trials as a Junior in college and plan on making it in this next Olympic go round.

A client can expect to go through a thorough warm up, and depending on skills necessary I will have a session geared toward the needs of the athlete, as every athlete is very different and unique in their learning process. I like to explain why I am doing certain things so that the athlete understands what they are doing and why. I often demonstrate so as a visual person I offer much help in the way they learn and see how to do things.

Coach Shakeia is an incredible coach. Upbeat and fun, kind, great expertise in sprinting, hurdles.

Coach Shakeia knows her stuff! Her resume is impressive and she works on finding the right way to teach each individual on how to break “their” bad running habits and create a new proper running form. I highly recommend Coach Shakeia for any athlete looking to gain proper form and speed.

In 2 short sessions Coach Shakeia was able to help my daughter shave 1/10 off her time and finish 1st in javelin. Her techniques allowed for her to meet my daughter where she was both athletically & emotionally and build to a greater height. For our family this was money well spent.

Coach Shakeia is excellent! My daughter ran her first year of track as a freshman in high-school last year. She did very well, but her hurdling and running form needed improvement. In just 5 sessions Shakeia had my daughter's running form corrected with some very simple drills. Shakeia then quickly pinpointed a few adjustments that were needed in her form to clear the hurdle and be ready for the next one. Shakeia did all this with a very positive attitude and coaching style that had my daughter listening, smiling and laughing. We cannot wait for the season to start! We know the results are going to be positive. I highly recommend Shakeia for track training. She is awesome!

Shakeia is great! She pays close attention to detail. Not only did she take the time to educate my son, she illustrated certain drills for him. My son is a visual learner so I really appreciated that. Training athletes is Shakeia’s PASSION and PURPOSE!😊

Coach Shakeia is awesome! She is so nice and so knowledgable. We feel so lucky to have found her! My daughter was nervous for the first training session, but Coach Shakeia made her feel so comfortable and she has helped her so much already. Coach Shakeia is wonderful!

Coach Shakeia is wonderful!! She is very knowledgeable, attentive and enthusiastic. Looking forward to more training sessions.

I trained with Coach Pinnick for 8 hours, but I have to say, I would definitely not have learned the same amount of stuff anywhere else with the same amount of time. Coach Pinnick is passionate, and always knows what to tell you, and when to tell you. 13/10 would come back again :)

We really like how Coach Keia works with our 7 year old daughter. She connects with our daughter and provides great motivation and positive feedback while teaching her proper technique. We really appreciate how she pays attention to details, shows her how to do things, and continues to work with her for technique and skill improvement.

Very knowledgeable and engaging. My daughter can’t wait to have more sessions to meet her goals for track season!

Was very positive and helped me reach my goals.

Coach Shakeia is very professional, knows the biomechanics and kinesiology of running and hurdle techniques, and she makes training fun! Both my son and daughter had improvements from the first session! I'm a Physical Therapist and I was very impressed with her knowledge and training techniques. I know my kids are in good hands! I highly recommend Coach Shakeia!

Coach Shakeia was great. She helped me with sprinting and running techniques. She also showed me many moves that I wasn’t familiar with. I will definitely meet her again to practice more and learn from her experiences.

Coach Shakeia is taking Drew to another level. New drills he hasn’t performed before and building the endurance before the season starts will help him where it counts. The end of the race. Thanks Coach

Coach Shakeia is an excellent trainer. She is very knowledgeable, patient and professional. She is also very flexible with scheduling sessions. My daughter has made tremendous improvement on hurdles in just 2 sessions & she looks forward to each training session. I would highly recommend Coach Shakeia.

Keia had a great lesson with my daughter. She is still learning the basics and was able to improve in key areas. Keia was timely, patient, flexible with practice options and actually worked out alongside my daughter to create a realistic approach that pushed my daughter for greater speed and technique.

Coach Shakeia did a great job working with my daughter! I was very impressed with her assessments and her tips for my daughter during the coaching session. I am already planning another session for my daughter.

Keia is so patient with me which is so great because I can have my days. She manages to always give me just enough hard work to feel good about the goals I ultimately want to meet.
Keia is very dedicated to making sure that I had the best training and best motivation during my workouts. I'm glad that I have her as a trainer and great supporter.
