Warm-up, cool-down and progressive load matter more here than in almost any other sport — ask specifically how a coach handles them.
How do I choose the right athletics coach in Cambridge?
• 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 On CoachSpot you can filter by Cambridge and by athletics, read reviews from other local families, and message a coach before booking a trial session.
