Get to know Coach Chandler
About Me:
My name is Coach Chandler, otherwise known as Coach C. I am a former track and field athlete at the NAIA level. I’ve been in the coaching game now for 5 years at the college level and currently working with high school athletes. My main focus is short sprints/hurdles but I am a utility knife and can do it all. I’ve personally coached a shot put thrower to All American status, had 8 other All Americans in sprints and hurdles with 50+ All Conference athletes. I started as a Graduate Assistant and within 4 years of being at Briar Cliff University, I became the Head Coach. That should help understand what kind of coach I am and show what I may be capable of. I’d enjoy to speak with anyone about the art of track and field and how I think I may be able to help you or your family member become a better person on and off the track.
How I can help you improve your game:
My main focus with be Speed, Explosiveness, and technique mentally and physically. Track and field is 90% mental and 10% your ability to go do what your coach is asking of you. We work on both mental and physical abilities.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Typical training day sessions include:
Thorough dynamic warm up
Hurdle mobility exercises
Speed Build Ups
Specialty Session
Speed, technique, explosiveness
Cool Down Strides
Stretching/Recovery Techniques
Career summary and accomplishments:
I started at Briar Cliff University as a graduate assistant. 4 months in, I got asked to take an assistant position. From there I worked with throwers, hurdles, and short sprints. 3 years later the head coach ended up finding a D1 job while I accepted the head Coaching position.
I ended my career at Briar Cliff with 9 All Americans, 1 National Champion, 50+ All Conference Athletes, 6 school records, and endless relationships with all my former athletes.
Best coach I ever had:
Best Coach I ever had was my senior year in high school. I really focus on relationships because without a relationship there will be no hard work.
I had such a good relationship with my coach my senior year, I ended up taking 6 seconds off of my 400 m dash from 56 seconds to 50.5 seconds in my senior year. I still talk to that coach to this day and bounce ideas off of him when needed.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and Parents should know I am very athlete oriented. I want to be here to help you become a better athlete on and off the track. Athletes always come first. I am very innovative as well. Anytime we are stuck on something while trying to improve, I will find a way to help us get passed that sticking point.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
