1-to-1 Athletics Coaches
No verified coaches in this discipline yet
A good 1-to-1 athletics coach does what a team session can't: all the attention on one athlete, with the session built around what they specifically need to fix. Private athletics coaching in the UK typically costs £35–£65 per hour, and sessions usually run on athletics tracks and school/park facilities. Coaching normally starts structured 1-to-1 sprint/jumps work from around 9+.
Sessions usually cover sprint mechanics and acceleration, middle-distance and endurance programming and jumps — long jump, high jump, triple jump technique. Warm-up, cool-down and progressive load matter more here than in almost any other sport — ask specifically how a coach handles them.

Athletics coaching FAQ
How much does a 1-to-1 athletics coach cost?
Typically £35–£65 per hour in the UK. Coaches with academy, county or international backgrounds sit at the top of that range, and block bookings of 5 or 10 sessions usually come at a discount.
How do I choose a athletics coach?
• Look for UKA Coach or Athletics Coach qualifications, not just personal-trainer credentials • For sprinters, ask how they'll measure progress — timing gates, video, or just feel • Confirm which events they specialise in — a generalist across throws and sprints is a red flag
