TESTIMONIALS

"Before camp I felt so mentally drained and was thinking about just taking it easy this year because there have been so many times where I came so close to a goal or dream and was just fell short of reaching it. I was feeling very discouraged but now I have regained my love for track and running as a whole. DeeDee taught me perseverance and faith. Her story really inspired me in ways I can’t even begin to describe. I was in tears when she share her story and it taught me that giving up is never an option. Coach DeeDee is such an amazing athlete and an even better person. She brings light to the world and to my life."

"Coach DeeDee was such an amazing person to learn from. For her to share her professional knowledge with me in addition to all the love and care she showed each and every athlete at the camp, she has really goes above and beyond to teach the next generation of runners. I am honored to have met such an incredible athlete and I hope to work with her again next year."

"I'm extremely thankful that I had the opportunity to train with an Olympian! DeeDee Trotter made me a better runner overall and I can just feel it! Now when I run, I feel faster than ever before! I can't get over the fact that someone with 3 Olympic medals trained me!!! Every time I feel like I can't do something, I will always tell myself from this moment on "I can. I must. I will! I believe!" Those four short sentences changed my entire mindset, all thanks to Coach DeeDee."

"It was such a dream to have DeeDee Trotter as a Coach. I truly learned so much from her. My experience was so enjoyable and I promised myself to take everything I learned back home with me to Korea, and use the advice she gave me every time I run!"
