Coach Testimonials

“As a coach, one of the things I find helpful for my team is [Emerging Elites] lets them train with a group over the summer which is a great motivator. It's tough to stay motivated to train for ten weeks all by yourself... With my kids who have come through the program, the difference is immediate. When kids start the cross-country season after doing this program, they're normally two or three minutes faster than they were at the end of the previous cross-country season.”
- Chris Welch, coach at Fontbonne Academy
