"I was definitely not a good athlete and only ran track because I was required to and because my friends were on the team. While I didnt take the sport seriously, khayla made me want to care more and do better— I knew that if I didnt try for her I wouldn’t be wasting only my time but hers, which is something I didnt want to do because I respected my coach as a person so much. Even though I was no where close to the fastest I still got individualized help and coaching from her although I knew she had a million and more important other things to do and people to help. She never made the less athletic people feel like they were less or not worth the effort. She is incredible funny, inspiring and honest. She expressed personal interest in my art, which whe didnt have to do since it was was not related to track. Track is not an easy sport but if I didnt have khaylas leadership it would have been even harder. I thank her for giving me one of my first and only positive experiences with a coach and team, a very formative experience that I am endlessly grateful for. "

"Khayla was the best coach I’ve ever had. She was an axceptional coach and simultaneously a great friend. Her workouts pushed me to the next level which allowed to me excel in ways the other coaches thought was impossible. No matter what she never gives up on an athlete who is putting in the work and trying to improve. While her workouts, especially “grind” days, may be tough, her motivation is next level. You will hear her from the other side of the track and it will be loud and clear. She is very direct while coaching and will say exactly what must be said, even if it is the ugliest of thruths. She keeps her athletes close and makes the “Spurdles” group feel like a tight knit family. You couldn’t possibly go wrong with Khayla."
