track coach
Trains field athletes
A track coach trains athletes in track and field events—sprinting, distance running, jumping, throwing.
The role combines technical instruction with physical conditioning and race strategy.
Track coaches work at every level from youth programs to the Olympics: My track coach had us running intervals in the rain.
The term sometimes appears figuratively for anyone pushing others toward peak performance.
