Coach/Personal Trainer James Spivey  
Sports Performance Specialist Coach/Personal Trainer – James Spivey has evolved into a hurdling specialist servicing the Houston/Cypress/Katy/Fort Bend/Spring/Klein and surrounding areas, in addition, also provides remote training. Elite Hurdling, Etc. is primarily a sports specific hurdling training program designed to assist student athletes and their parents achieve performance marks needed to get an athletic sports scholarships. The goal of Elite Hurdling Etc. is to assist the various Middle Schools, High Schools and Track Club programs to enhance their programs and achieve elite hurdling student athletes throughout the various Houston area communities.
Sports specific performance training develops the underlying, fundamental physical characteristics that are needed to execute any sport skill movement. The ability to generate maximal power during the complex movement patterns of the hurdling event is of paramount importance to successful athletic performance. Specialized, sport-specific technical and physical training are essential to improve player and individual performance on the field/court. The art of the hurdling sporting event is one of the most complicated and fascinating track and field events because it includes not only running, but also includes jumping and explosive body movements that require maximum body control.
The path for the student athlete from high school to college should be a path that leads to their destination and dreams, without stumbling blocks and breaks in the road. The high school student athlete and their parents should have the keys to the car that drives them to a better understanding of what is needed to get to the college classrooms, at minimum cost. Student athletes with the talents should not have to suffer from financial hardships now or later in life. There are so many athletic scholarships available, but, not enough qualified student athletes to receive them. Elite Hurdling Etc. is here to change that.
One of the missions of Elite Hurdling, Etc. is to develop a program designed to include sports specific track and field training, primarily in the areas of short and long distance hurdling, as well as sprints and mid-distance running. Our program is designed to assist students and their families toward achieving their end goals of college academic/athletic scholarships. Our program will help to foster self-confidence that nourishes, teaches, encourages, and fosters continued desires to stay fit and enjoy life, both for the athlete and their parents.
