Qualification: Level 1 Coach

I have been coaching for about 2 yrs officially and about 2 years unofficially. I have recently gained level 2 and  throws is my preference. I have been involved in athletics since 2002 when my kids started. I am a member of the Mackay Athletics club and coach for free for them. I also train privately and charge as per ATFCA states. I am looking for more athletes to train.

Qualification:  Level 4 Jumps; Sprints, Hurdles and Relays

I first became interested in coaching when I was looking for a High Jump coach (there were none in Mackay at the time) for my eldest son when he was 10 years. When at school states in Brisbane I met Leslye Muller who began coaching him with many trips to Charters Towers. With Leslye's encouragement and mentoring I began coaching him.   

From here I decided to do a coaching course.  Have been a member of the ATFCA since June 2000, when I was accredited with Level 1 Young Athlete and a  few weeks later with Level 1 Jumps. 

In June 2001, I received my Level 1 Sprints, Hurdles & Relays.

In January 2005, I qualified with Level 2 Jumps (this was the last course in the old Level 2).  This was subsequently changed to Level 4 Jumps when the new “level 1 – 5” system was introduced. 

A couple of years later in January 2009, I gained my level 4 Sprints, Hurdles and Relays. 

November 2003, I completed Level 1 Coaching Athletes with Disability course. 

August 2007, I completed my Level 1 in Strength and Conditioning. 

Have also done Sports Medicine Level 1 trainer. I am attached to the Slade Point Athletic Club as a coach, but I also coach athletes outside the club. Have coached athletes to National level, who have medaled at this level.

2006 was  an exciting time being selected as Jumps coach for the ANQ team to the Oceania Championships in Fiji, as well as Jumps coach for the Athletics Australia team to the Oceania Grand Prix in Samoa.

Also in 2006, was one of the coaches for the Queensland Athletes with Disability team to the Telstra A series in Sydney. 

Just as exciting was being selected as a Jumps coach for the 2008 Qld Athletics School team to Pacific School Games in Canberra. 

I keep myself up to date with the latest coaching techniques and information by attending the regularly held ATFCA Coaching Congresses. Have also attended weekend coaching sessions by Roy Boyd (hurdles) and Cliff Mallet (sprints) and various other weekend sessions sponsored by our Club and other clubs in our region. 

Have also attended many Oz Squads as an observing coach. I hold a Blue Suitability card (Commission for Children & Young People). 

The most rewarding aspect about coaching, is taking on a raw athlete and watching them develop through the years to a successful athlete with good technique – not necessarily a medal winner.

Leslye Muller

I am member of the Australian Track and Field Coaches Association.  Starting as a Level 1 coach, I became a nationally accredited Level 2 Coach for jumps in 1996 and in 2001 gained Level 2 in Sprints, hurdles and relays.  2006 saw my accreditation reach Level 4 in Jumps and Sprint, Hurdles and Relays.  I have sixteen years coaching experience. 

 I am a professional coach.  I treat my athletes in a professional manner giving attention to detail in all aspects of their well being.

 Athletes I coach have reached national level in all jumps, sprints, hurdles, shot put and javelin.  Athletes have reach state level in all events and some have represented Australia at International level excelling in their events and reaching World Junior level.  In 2004 I was privileged to be part of the Australian Oceania team as the Jumps coach.  I have been engaged to coach at Aus-squads and coaching clinics north to Cairns, south to Rockhampton and west to Longreach.

  During my coaching career I have been fortunate to work many very talented athletes enhancing my knowledge. I have gained greater insight from working with:  Tom Tellez, Carl Lewis’s coach; under the Rural Mentor program, Australia’s high performance hurdle coach, Roy Boyd and Cliff Mallet a high performance sprints coach.   I acquired coaching experience traveling overseas supporting the 1998 Australian World Junior team and regularly attend ATFCA Coaching Congress and Seminars to keep abreast of the latest developments.  In 2007 I attended US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Convention in Phoenix Arizona.  I was appointed athletic coach for the sports academy for catholic colleges in 2008 at Columba Catholic College.

 I have successfully completed a Certificate IV of Remedial Therapies, and Level 1 in Kinesiology I regularly attend advanced musculoskeletal training under Dr Paul Connelly, this knowledge enhances my coaching ability.  I am registered with Commission for Children and Young People and carry a Blue Suitability Card.

 I live in Charters Towers and I presently have 14 athletes in my private training squad, ( I charge a term fee), I am employed to coach at Columba Catholic College, coaching the cross country during term 1 and 2, and athletic during term 1,2 and 3.
