Get to know Coach Destinee
About Me:
Hello All I’m coach Destinee, a former SEC hurdler and All-American from the University of South Carolina, now using my passion and experience to coach the next generation of athletes. My goal is to teach young hurdlers the science behind the event—not just the steps, but the strategy, technique, and mindset it takes to win.
I believe greatness starts early, and I’m committed to mentoring athletes both on and off the track. Whether it’s breaking down hurdle mechanics or building confidence and discipline, I’m here to guide them every step of the way.
How I can help you improve your game:
With years of experience at the highest level, I break the event down in a way young athletes can understand, apply, and grow from. Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your edge, I focus on improving form, efficiency, confidence, and mindset—so you don’t just compete, you dominate.
Let’s build strong habits early, develop a champion mentality, and take your hurdling to the next level!
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Not only will athletes learn the science and technique behind hurdling, but they will also receive life-long advice that will stick with them long after they leave the track. I believe athletes are more than just their sport, and I’m here to be not only a coach but an inspiration and role model.
In every session, we’ll cover everything from warm-ups and hurdle drills to recovery techniques and how to properly care for your body. You’ll also experience intense, focused hurdle workouts that push you to your limits and help you grow as an athlete. My goal is to develop strong athletes—physically, mentally, and emotionally—so they can thrive both on and off the track.
Career summary and accomplishments:
- Former NCAA 4 time All American in the 100 and 60m hurdles -University of South Carolina school record holder in the 60m hurdles -NCAA 100m hurdle finalist -2 time University of South Carolina MVP
Best coach I ever had:
What athletes and parents should know about me:
My goal is to provide athletes with something I never had—a mentor who has been where they want to go.
Not just a coach, but someone who has competed at the collegiate and professional levels, someone who believes in them, and someone who truly understands the game. I’m not just teaching technique; I’m sharing my experience, knowledge, and belief in their potential.
As a professional track athlete myself, I know what it takes to succeed at the highest levels. Giving kids someone they can look up to, trust, and learn from is key to their development, both on and off the track.

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.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
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.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
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.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
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!
