Book Private Track-and-field Lessons with Coach Nikki

I’m a former varsity track and field and cross-country athlete with experience in jumps, sprints, and distance events. I’m passionate about helping athletes discover their strengths, build confidence, and reach their competition goals. I love creating a positive, motivating environment where athletes feel supported, challenged, and understood.

I can help you improve by creating personalized training sessions that target your specific event, goals, and skill level. Whether you’re working on jumps, sprints, or distance, I’ll focus on developing your technique, strength, explosiveness, and overall efficiency. I provide consistent feedback, hands-on demonstrations, and adjustments throughout each session to make sure you’re progressing safely and effectively. My goal is to help you build confidence, sharpen your mechanics, and prepare you to perform your best in practices, meets, and competitions.

If we are starting with our first session, we would start with dynamic warm-ups, discussing the goals for upcoming meets or competitions, and based on that, I would have a few different workouts in mind and pick one that I believe would best optimize your time and get you where you need to be.

After our first session together, we would start our training with dynamic warm-ups again and prep your body for the workout ahead by focusing on your agility and coordination. Depending on the event of your focus, we would target drills for that. For jumps specifically, we would do some plyometric circuits designed to focus on explosiveness. For sprints, we would most likely do a short interval track workout followed by sprinting mechanics and block starts. For distance, it would be similar to a sprinting workout, but a longer interval track workout followed by core and strength circuit. I would provide feedback throughout, and may even join in with you or demonstrate things if need be!

All workouts end with a cooldown and recovery, while I discuss with you what I believe our future moves are and your progress. I want what's best for you, and feedback and honest conversation with each other will do just that!

Throughout my high school career, I had a few different coaches, one for jumps, one for distance, and one for sprints. Each taught me unique skills and techniques, so overall I cannot say I've only had one best coach. They all equally played an important role in my life, and I hope to do the same for future athletes. I know I may never be someone's best coach, but as long as I can be a part of their journey in helping them succeed and being the best they can be, I would be honored.

I’m dedicated, patient, and fully invested in every athlete I work with. I take the time to understand your goals, your strengths, and where you want to improve so I can tailor every session to your needs. I’m a firm believer in encouragement paired with honest, constructive feedback, and I always make sure athletes feel comfortable, supported, and confident in their abilities.

I’m not just here to run workouts — I’m here to guide you, challenge you, and help you become the best version of yourself both on and off the track. Communication is extremely important to me, so parents and athletes can always expect openness, clarity, and genuine care from me.
