“Sue Humphrey is someone I’ve known for over four decades. I have always admired her commitment to details and her patience while coaching a beginner or a world class athlete in the sport of track and field. Sue Humphrey’s ability to help individuals reach their full potential is a tremendous credit to her desire and passion towards teaching and coaching. Sue is a hidden jewel with a wealth of knowledge about running, jumping, and throwing. I was one of her students (Athlete). Sue’s ability to communicate and connect to young people on their level is the reason why this manual would be a great book to use as a reference and a guide to help the next generation of Olympic hopefuls to become Olympians.”
Jackie Joyner-Kersee, World Record Holder Heptathlon, Olympic Gold Medalist in the Long Jump & Heptathlon, considered the world's greatest
“Within one season of training with Sue, my attitude towards track and training was transformed. She is motivating and energizing and has taught me how to push through any workout. Not only is Sue an inspiring coach, but she truly cares about me off the track and is a mentor for me in life, always willing to provide advice or insight when I need it. With years of experience behind her, she is a natural coach and mentor--I would recommend her to anyone in search of a passionate and knowledgeable coach.”
Gabby Thomas, 2021 USA Olympian, 2-time Olympic Medalist, 3rd fastest woman in the 200-meters all time
