Coach Brian Schaudt is the newest member of my training team, and is responsible for my sprint and jumps workouts.
Coach Schaudt was a teammate of mine while at the University of Oregon, and was a conference scorer in the triple jump and long jump, which helped our team win 7 conference championships in a row.
Since he has graduated Coach Schaudt has been coaching at the University of Oregon under head coach Robert Johnson and assistant coach Curtis Taylor, developing the sprints, jumps, and hurdlers. Most recently Coach Schaudt just became the head coach of the New Hope Christian College track and field team, and works as the strength and conditioning coach for their men’s and women’s basketball team as well.
Because of Coach Schaudt’s experience on the track, his work with some of the top Division 1 coaches, and his passion for the sport he is constantly giving me great insight, which has made me a better athlete and can make you a better athlete too.
