Lakeville, Minnesota
I have had the privilege to work with Hugo for the past year and a half and the only regret that I have is that it is coming to an end. Hugo is one of the best coaches anyone could ask for. His experience as coach and as a former Olympian, allows him to share a lifetime’s worth of training and apply it to the technique of his athletes. During the off season, I will admit my butt was kicked, but it was necessary. From September until the beginning of the season, Hugo gave challenging but not impossible workouts that turned me into a stronger, well-prepared jumper. He teaches each of us to understand our boundaries; when to push them and when it is time to take a break. I never liked the latter but he could always tell and would have me rest up until I was ready to go (his caring demeanor refused to let any of his athletes get hurt). By the time the track season rolled around he offered his guidance once more, holding weekend sessions to make sure I was getting all that I could out of my jump, and I had a wonderful finale for my high school career. I made it to finals at sections, set two personal records, and had a great time improving my high jump by five inches and my triple jump by more than a foot. Without Hugo’s help, none of this would have been possible.
The Kangaroo Track Club is a great place for those who want to improve. That is why everyone goes, is to get better and being surrounded by a group of driven, hardworking people just makes it that much easier to learn. I would recommend this program to anyone who likes track and field.
Have a good one!
Enjoy your adventures.
