Results & Testimonials

I just finished reading your ‘state of the union’ track email (again). I do not like to interfere with valuable coaching time, to speak with you on training days when I see you, so I wanted to say that my wife and I (and Olivia) appreciate your effort, enthusiasm and everything you do. I coached youth athletics for over 15 years (in another life) and I know the challenges, frustrations and rewards. Olivia loves the challenge of training for the first time. She has been provided with an opportunity to see what her potential is and if she wants to make track ‘her sport’. Thank you.

The kids work hard, they support and respect each other, and they become all-around better athletes. The coaches run challenging workouts, but they also focus on teamwork, mental conditioning, and leadership training. They create an environment where kids get comfortable pushing themselves, and are motivated to do their very best. It’s been great for our 8th-grade daughter. As her fitness has grown, so has her confidence. It’s been amazing!

When we joined WAZA 4 years ago we thought it would be good for Haley to run more during the summer. Little did we know that she would be learning life skills as part of the deal, she has really embraced the the whole WAZA experience and it has really elevated her confidence and she has set her goals high after high school. You have built an outstanding program. Thanks for all you do. Sometimes kids need the carrot and sometimes they need the stick.

I wanted to take a moment to applaud your track program. My daughter came into your program as a strong runner, however she lacked a few key components to helping her excel, namely her strength and running strategy. Your coaching techniques were effective in helping her gain the needed strength and confidence to now help improve each and every workout. ‘Tough but compassionate’, is the phrase that comes to mind when I describe your program to other parents. Having a facility such as Trott’s fitness center, I feel played a great role in the training. Yes, I admit I was skeptical when I heard they were practicing in a company’s fitness center, but when I saw how well the team was able to utilize the steps, exercise balls and the fitness rooms, my skepticism completely subsided. More than anything, my daughter loves being part of WAZA. From coaches, to team mates, to practices and quizzes, she never once complained about going to practice. She recognizes how much stronger she became and is very proud to be on this team. We are both looking forward to joining you again this summer!
