My family was introduced to Jackrabbit Running Club in April of 2011 when my oldest son ran as a sprinter for the first time. That was the beginning of the best decision we made. Eventually he would learn the individual discipline and the skills he needed to be successful in his events and on the relay team as a sprinter. These skills would eventually transfer to the classroom his Junior year. Jackrabbit taught my son to persevere, work harder than hard, strive for excellence, sports ethics, team work and team support, unity, and pride in the clubs goals and mission to be the best. Jackrabbitt helped foster the drive within my son and helped him build confidence and direction not only on the track but in school. Jackrabbit is the reason my son became focused on attending a Division I school on scholarship where he could run track and get a great education. In 2013 that became a reality. My 12 year old daughter is now running for Jackrabbit as of 2016 and having an awesome experience so far. We will forever remember the very positive experiences with Jackrabbitt Running Club. Coach Andre and the coaching staff are excellent!

I ran for Jackrabbit for 6 years and they were a family to me. Throughout the years I was in the program, I grew as a person and teammate through relays and overall team events. I always wanted to believe that someday I would run for a college and Jackrabbit brought that opportunity to me. I can't say enough how thankful I am of the team and it's coaches for my accomplishments and my achievements. Without Jackrabbit, I have no idea where I would be and to have learned so much from the coaches is truly a blessing. So again, I just wanted to thank Jackrabbit for making me PT.

I first met Coach Andre when I was 12 years old. He was training a friend of mine at a nearby park and invited me to join the session. At the time I was a dedicated soccer player who didn’t know the first thing about track & field. I began attending workouts at Jackrabbit Track Club in between soccer practices and soon realized I had a new passion in running. Coach Andre and his staff believed in me and nurtured my talent and success by emphasizing not only the value of strength, endurance and athleticism, but also the value of integrity, hard work, respect and responsibility. Jackrabbit is a one-of-a kind track club and Coach Andre is that coach you will remember the rest of your life. I am currently competing as a freshman at a Division I university and can’t thank Coach Andre and his awesome staff for their support in my success! I truly owe it all to the Jackrabbit community... they are family.

My daughter has been with JackRabbit for 4 years, running Cross Country, track and field season
conditoning. I can’t say enough positve things about this program. Coach Andre, along with
the other coaches, puts his heart and soul in to the children and they can feel that emotion. We,
as parents, expect a lot from our daughter and appreciate that the expectation doesn’t stop
with us, it continuosly with the coaching staff. The JackRabbit program further instills self-
discipline, dedication and team commitment values that will last throughout her life. The
Coaches continuosly focus on self- improvement, therefore, enabling the team to achieve
greatness. My daughter’s improvement of strength and speed she has gained over the years is
remarkable. We contribute her success to the encouragement of the coaching staff on her good
and bad days. Andre tells the children o(en, that running is what you have in your heart and
talent will follow. We have truly been blessed by the JackRabbit running program and gladly call
it our extended family.
