ANNOUNCEMENTS

We first met Coach Butterfield at an indoor meet where our son, Jake Benninghoff, was competing. He commented from the crowd on his high jump performance and we started talking. From then on, Coach Butterfield stayed in contact with us and Jake via phone calls, text messages and even coming to his meets. He gave Jake educated advice and instruction to better his craft – all out of the love for track that he has. Jake was rewarded with a track scholarship to Texas Tech this fall. We are so thankful for Coach Butterfield and his involvement to help Jake achieve his athletic goals.

Coach Butterfield has worked with our son and daughter over the past 6 years on everything from sprint technique to jumps and throws. He recognizes talent, builds on it, and keeps kids mentally engaged and focused on what’s important now. His coaching was a big part of our son earning a track scholarship. His multi-event coaching skills are outstanding. As a high school track coach, I have learned a ton from him. He is approachable and always willing to share training info. He is always positive, is a good listener and truly respects the kids he coaches.

Coach Butterfield has a wit like no other. His eye for young, potential talent is keen. I was lucky enough to catch Coach Butterfield at the beginning of his coaching career and I got to see first hand how he developed not only young athletes to successful state qualifiers and beyond but as a coach as well. While my time with him was short, it didn’t take me long to realize his passion for track and field and how extremely contagious it was. His vision and hope for the future of track and field are beyond anything that I have ever seen. It’s hard to trust the process when you’re running thirty thirties in a 2nd story apartment walking track, but the work is put in and the result eventually show. Anyone to work with a coach that is willing to put in as much time and effort as him is lucky to be apart of this program.

I have to say that Coach Butterfield has an unmatched ability to push kids to new levels. He does a great job of taking good athletes and making them GREAT! His coaching philosophy helps not only on the track but in life in general, teaching his athletes many life lessons as well. I also enjoyed his ability to teach us about health and dieting. I really enjoyed having him as a coach because of his ability to explain things to runners of all ages. His dedication was unmatched, there were many days he would come right from work and be ready to coach with a passion. Your unmatched knowledge of the sport, along with passion makes you a one of a kind coach! Without his help, I would not have set the state record in the quarter mile or received a college scholarship!

Coach Butterfield has a knack for rapport building few can match, particularly with young adults and teenagers. He is clearly passionate about what he does and cares for each and every one of his athletes. Whether you are looking for specific training or just a great workout, he's your guy! 5 Stars all day long!

Coach Butterfield has a knack to improve and motivate athletes. He can analyze young talent on what they are currently doing and train them to be measurably better. His ability to connect and motivate is a great gift that reflects in his relationship with his students. We highly recommend Coach Butterfield for anyone looking to improve as a track athlete.
