More About Coach Vernell

Currently the head sprints, jumps and hurdle coach at University of Portland. Prior to coaching at University of Portland I coached at Westview High School for 5 years. Coached multiple metro league champions, state championship finalists and state champions. I have also coach at the University of Oregon track and field high school camp in years past. Level 1 USATF Coaching Certification.

I competed for four years at the University of Oregon in the long jump, high jump, triple jump and the 4x100 meter relay. I was 2nd in the Pac-10 conference in the long jump, 4th in the high jump and 4th in the 4x100 meter relay. I also was an All-American in the long jump in 2009.

Each session will start with with a warmup that will consist of running, sprint drills and dynamic stretching. Depending on what time of year it is, we will move on to some form and technique drills. Following that we will get move onto the running portion of the workout or jumping if you are a jumper.

Client Reviews

In the first session, Coach Warren made an instant connection with my son. My son is 15 and had only participated in one track season. After working with Coach Warren he came away feeling encouraged and even more determined to become an elite athlete. He was amazed by Coach Warrens knowledge and skill and said, "he's so cool!" I was impressed with how Coach Warren assessed where Isaiah was starting from and has tailored his workouts specifically to Isaiah's needs -but then, that is what excellent coaches do! I'm so grateful to have found Coach Warren on Coach up and I can't wait to see Isaiah's progress in action during the next track season!

Coach Vernell, You are teaching me what hard work is!! No doubt I will reach my goal!!

On time. Very helpful! Looking forward to having more sessions with Vernell.

My 10 year old daughter had one long jump lesson with Coach Vernell. He quickly developed a good interaction with her and gave her some very helpful tips. She enjoyed the session and looks forward to more lessons.

Coach Vernell
Is highly knowledgeable and has great coaching skills

We have had 3 sessions with Coach Vernell and plan to have more. Our daughter is a middle school sprinter but has not had prior coaching on technique, conditioning or the use of starting blocks. We saw that she was fast but had none of the skills or training she needed to develop whatever talent she may have. Coach Vernell has taken her step by step in a low key, knowledgeable manner. We've covered warm up exercises, conditioning, technique, footwear and starting blocks, working up from the beginning. She will be prepared to do her best whatever that may be once her season begins. We appreciate his efforts and highly recommend him.

Coach vernell is a very good coach. He is always helpful with everything. His way of coaching Is very good, and he is really helping me, as an athlete, feel better and more confident with my ability to perform in my events.

great coach

Coach Warren has been coaching my son for 3 years now and we have seen great improvements. Definitely recommend him to anyone looking to become better at jumping or sprinting!
