“Coach Moo”, has been a fixture in the running Southwest Florida running community over the past 17 years. He currently serves as a Collier County Public Schools cross country and track and field coach, owner and head coach of Elevate Performance Training, the Gulf Coast Runners youth team liaison and coach, and as an active member of the Gulf Coast Runners club and its Board of Directors. Coach specializes in working with prep runners and developing the plans (and the passion!) that springboard them towards their goals. He started his training and coaching group, Elevate Performance Training, in the summer of 2015 following his level 1 certification from USA Track and Field. Elevate “Running IQ Camp” kicked off with about a dozen runners that June. The principles had instant results, producing both an Individual State Champion and team State Runner-up that Fall! Since then, Coach Moomaw has coached 4 runners to the Naples Daily News all decade team, 2 winged foot scholar-athletes, 4 different adult qualifiers for the Boston Marathon (including himself) and has had almost 100 youth athletes go on to the state meet. He now trains individuals and groups of all ages, from the speed/agility drills for sprinters to the ultramarathon. Coach Moomaw prides himself on staying up with the latest technology, innovations, running related products, training regimens, and recovery practices to help each of his runners reach their ultimate potential.
