I have been running all my life, mainly because I was faster than all the other kids. In my Sophomore year in high school, I was the fastest guy in 2 schools. A hamstring injury prevented me from getting a Track scholarship. Later, I began to compete in USA Master's open meets and won gold in the 200 and silver in the 400. I compete in Spartan Races and occasionally the 200 meters still.
I started coaching USA Track and Field summer track in Dallas, TX, which led to an assistant TF Coaching position at Southwest Christian College in Terrell, Tx. That is where I gained an advanced knowledge of the sport of track and learned some formulas for winning. Held a USATF Level 1 Certification.
By asking what are they trying to achieve in an interview, and then taking a look at their body mechanics (fitness test) to see strengths and weaknesses to determine where improvements can be made. Next, I would design a workout regiment for that athlete and get to work.

2. Stretching
3. Drills

5. Workout

Athletic Trainer, TGB Athletics | January 2024 - May 2024 Dallas, TX I implemented a 5-month strength and conditioning program with speed drills for young athletes to improve athletic performance and reduce the risk of injuries for off-season competition. Track & Field Coach, Running Panthers Youth Track Club | 2011 - 2013 Atlanta, GA Responsibilities included recruiting athletes, planning for practices and track meets, and teaching sprinting and speed techniques to keep athletes safe and healthy and excel in performance. I developed the first off-season training program in the 17-year history of the team. Assistant Track & Field Coach, Southwest Christian College | 2002 - 2006 Terrell, TX I helped to develop an unknown track program to one that had achieved over 80 All-Americans (men and women) in various indoor and outdoor events by teaching sprinting and speed techniques to keep athletes safe, productive, and healthy. Our record of achievements: · 2006 Won Men’s 400-meter Indoor National Championship · 2005 Won Outdoor Regional Championship · 2004 – 2005 seasons won 4x400 meter relay, third consecutive National Indoor Champion including winning the 600 meters · 2004 Outdoor National Championship again winning the 4x400 meter relay and 400 meter hurdles · 2003 -2004 Men’s placed 4th in the Indoor National Championship at KSU and won the National Championship in the 4x400 meter relay as well as the 400 meters
The best Coach (Coach Porter) I have had was the Collegiate Coach in Terrell, Texas who allowed me to work with him as an assistant coach and trained me to run faster by having competitive practices with the athletes. I learned how to build an athlete with strength, development, endurance, and speed. He also encouraged me to start my own athletic training company.
I am an experienced, results-driven, fair, communicative, gold-oriented, and honest person who believes everyone can become physically better with the right tools, technique, time to develop, positive participation and the right coaching.

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.
