Get to know Coach Cris

About Me:

**Cris - Track and Field Coach**

With eight years of coaching experience, I am passionate about developing athletes at both the high school and AAU levels. As a former track athlete, I excelled in the 100m, 4x200m, and 4x100m relays, ranking among the top in the state during my four years in high school.

My journey began at Tri-C Community College, where I competed in track and field, before transferring to Central State University to further hone my skills. Throughout my life, I have been dedicated to the sport, and I bring that commitment to my coaching.

How I can help you improve your game:

I help athletes improve their game by providing personalized training plans, technique development, strength conditioning, and mental preparation tailored to their specific goals.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

Warm-Up (15-20 minutes)

- Dynamic stretching to increase flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.

- Mobility exercises to enhance range of motion and prepare the body for activity.

Drills (20-30 minutes)

- Specific drills tailored to the athlete’s event (e.g., starts for sprinters, hurdle technique for hurdlers).

- Focus on form, mechanics, and efficiency to build foundational skills.

Main Workout (30-40 minutes)

- **Sprints**: Short-distance sprints (100m, 200m) with varying intensities and rest intervals.

Strength and Resistance Training (20-30 minutes)

- Resistance exercises targeting key muscle groups for track performance (e.g., leg presses, core workouts).

- Bodyweight exercises or agility drills to enhance overall strength and coordination.

Cool Down (10-15 minutes)

- Static stretching to improve flexibility and promote recovery.

- Brief discussion on the day’s training, addressing any questions or feedback from athletes.

Post-Session Review

- An opportunity for athletes to reflect on their performance and discuss areas for improvement or adjustments for the next session.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.

Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.

AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.

At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
