I ran tons of summer clinics and camps with all age groups over the summers when I was at Cal Berkeley as a D1 athlete. I also have experience coaching a High School JV basketball team as the assistant coach (this was last year).

I was a D1 Sprinter at Cal Berkeley. I ran the 100m, 200m 400m, and both 4x1 and 4x4 relays.
- Hold the 60m school record
- 5th fastest 100m time
-All American
- Went to NCAA Nationals 3 times

The right way to warmup for sprinting
- Activate your muscles and band work
- This will be different form conventional warmups that you may be familiar with. We're doing things that are proven to work and prevent injury.

Technique is first
- Making sure we're correcting your mechanics and making the right movements
- Walk through and drill on sprinting mechanics. Make sure we're strong in technique and drill enough until you're not thinking about this when you run
- I'm very thorough on why we're doing a specific drill and where it will carry over in your sprinting

Putting technique to work
- Speed training (full recovery sprint workouts - nothing longer than 120m)
- Speed Endurance (speed endurance with minimal rest - nothing longer than 300m)

Outside of my 1:1s
- do longer tempo runs to get in shape and recover. You don't need a coach there to help you for that so I'll give you work outs to do this
