Coaching Experience: 12 years as a high school
head cross-country coach and 11 years as a head track coach for both men’s and women’s
teams. I have coached in Odem, Carrolton-Farmers Branch, and Little
River-Academy Texas. I typically have worked with high school athletes but ran
summer track programs which included athletes as young as 8 years old. I have
gone through the USA Track & Field Level One certification program. In that
span I won 10 district championships, taken three cross-country teams to state
(2-sixth place finishes, 1 fourth), seven individual athletes to state (4 gold,
1 silver, 1 bronze), and one two-time AAU National Champion. Notable personal
best performance by athletes I directly coached include: 1:54 half miler, 4:15
miler, 9:13 two miler, 23 foot long jumper, and 6'4" high jumper. On the women’s
side, 2:19 half miler, 5:25 miler, and 11:33 two miler, 5'8" high jumper
and 19'1/2" long jumper. I was twice named coach of the year for track and
field in two separate districts. I recently conducted a session at the Annual
Texas Coastal Bend Coaches Association Clinic on distance training for high
school track athletes.
