I was running collegiately for Azusa Pacific University which is an NCAA Division 2 school and I’ve been able to make national championship appearances multiple times for cross country and Track and field seasons. I have immense championship experience and know the wits of training & how certain workouts work. I have vast knowledge in training plans and I’m looking forward to passing this onto others.
I help them by making sure we focus on small, measurable improvements like increasing sprint time by a fraction of a second, adding weight to a lift, or improving technique in a specific event. These goals have to be realistic. I also help them improve their form if needed to minimize any unnecessary movements or energy expenditure.
I always begin with mobility exercises to increase blood flow and prepare the muscles for more intense activity, light Jogging, high knees, butt kicks, leg swings, arm circles, and dynamic lunges.
The main workout depends on the event group I’m working with.
I have been coaching privately for 8months now. I’m looking to coach more on a bigger scale within the next year.
The best coach to ever coach me was Sean Smith. He had the best training plans and he incorporated everything into the plan such as nutrition, recovery, supplements etc. He wanted to see everyone on the team succeed & was intentional with everything he did.
I’m originally from Kenya and came here for school and running. I didn’t run in high school at all and started it my first year at APU in 2018. Started with a time of 10:00 in the steeplechase back in 2019 and now my PB is 8:44 and still hungry for more. Consistency and discipline is all it took and that is the motto in any sport. As long as one is willing to put in the work, success is inevitable

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.
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.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
