About Coach Bubb

High-level experience.
Individual attention.

Jeremy is a track and field coach, founder, and athlete-development specialist whose career has crossed nearly every level of the sport. He has coached full-time at four universities, worked with high-school and private athletes, supported club and post-collegiate competitors, and coached across sprints, hurdles, jumps, throws, combined events, strength and power development, and adaptive environments.

His approach is built around evaluation before prescription. Instead of starting with a favorite drill or generic program, Jeremy looks for the athlete's real limiter—technical, physical, competitive, or structural—then builds the next progression around that athlete's event, history, season, and goals.

At RYFT, that philosophy has expanded into a broader athlete-development system: clearer recommendations, better event-specific coaching, organized training and progress tracking, and a coaching environment where athletes and families understand both what they are doing and why.

“I help serious track and field athletes and families stop guessing.”

How Jeremy Coaches

See the real problem.
Build the right progression.

Experience matters most when it improves the decision in front of the athlete.

01
Evaluate before prescribing.Understand the event, current training, technical pattern, physical needs, season, and athlete history before choosing the intervention.
02
Find the limiter.The biggest visible mistake is not always the real cause. Coaching should identify what is actually holding performance back.
03
Explain the why.Athletes tend to execute better when they understand the purpose of the cue, drill, progression, or training choice.
04
Progress what transfers.The goal is not to collect drills. It is to create changes that hold up in full-speed, full-event, competitive conditions.
