PUSH THRU TRACK CLUB

06/23/2026

I am proud to announce that I have officially earned my USATF Level 1 Track & Field Coach Certification.

This certification represents my commitment to continuous learning, athlete development, and coaching excellence. I believe that great coaches never stop growing, and every opportunity to learn makes me better equipped to serve the athletes and families who place their trust in me.

My goal is not only to help young athletes improve their performance on the track, but also to help them build confidence, discipline, and character that will benefit them throughout life.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me along this journey. This is another step forward for me, PUSH THRU TRACK CLUB, and the young athletes we serve.

WE WORK. WE WIN. WE PUSH THRU.

Don’t talk to me about how you love track and field, coach track and field, or are the parent of a track and field athlete until you’ve been at a youth track meet for 6-8 hours in 90-degree weather. Bruh, it was smoldering out there today. 😂 These kids better be glad that I love track and care about their futures.
