Welcome to HurdleCentral.com - a website that I've put together for my daughter Courtney and the other outstanding Hurdlers (and High Jumpers) that I have the privilege of coaching - either at Rockford Christian High School or with the Rockford FIRE (AAU/USATF).  Admittedly, the website is self-serving - as it's a place to consolidate all the training information, meet results, athlete data, videos, etc. that I seem to accumulate.  Hopefully there will be something of interest to you.

This is my 4th season coaching at RCS - and I feel I'm starting to find my way as an assistant coach.  Beyond my limited practical experience - I am a USATF Level I coach - as well as ASEP certified to coach high school athletes in Illinois.

I'm blessed to have been guided along this path by Rockford Christian Boy's Head Coach Randy Moore & Girl's Head Coach Joel Sprecher.   I  really appreciate their support & patience!

 A special thanks to hurdle coach 
extraordinaire Lee Pantas, who's guidance and hurdle knowledge I continue to lean on heavily.  I can't imagine where I'd be without his help and patience.
