I have known Coach Strother for many years. You cannot meet a more professional and down to earth person. For him track and field is not a stream of revenue. It is a passion. His club began with only one or two members and I am proud to see it grow over the years. He seeks to maximize his athlete’s potential and sets individual goals for each athlete, regardless of ability. We both have children who have been competing against each other since they were seven. He encourages and advises any athlete, no matter the club they belong to. He even provided photo evidence of a result that allowed my own child to advance to the Junior Olympics. Coach Strother is a real credit to the track and field community, and if you were to meet anyone of his children, you would understand what makes him a great coach.
