I am known for my technical, speed-based approach to training that emphasizes personalized movement patterns and position awareness. Some of my accolades are
7+ years coaching youth sprinters

Hi! My name is Quinton Dodson-Maualaivao. I was a sprinter in HS, earning All American recognition. I was also a D1 sprinter at the University of Colorado and participated in international championships during my track career.
I have more than 15 years of experience coaching youth athletes and most recently, I was the Director of Athletics at Amata Sports, a youth track program sending over 3000 athletes to college.
I coached an Olympic sprinter but what I love the most is helping young athletes fall in love with sprinting. I can't wait to help your kids get faster this summer.

Small Groups and Targeted Feedback

Minimum yrs of experience for each of our coaches
Max ratio of coaches to kids
Unlike large track clubs where athletes can get lost in the crowd, Mile High Speed is built around small group training. Our coaches do not have more than 10 athletes each. In smaller groups, your kid gets seen, coached and corrected. We learn how each athlete moves so we can give the right cues at the right time, helping them improve faster.
Friendly Competition
We use team spirit and friendly competition to help athletes bring their best and keep them motivated. Our program offers:
Weekly games and team-based activities
Two fun entry-level track meets, called the Denver Twilight Series, where our athletes can run 100 meters. These meets are optional and a $30-$35 registration fee is required to enter each of the meets.
The Denver Twilight Series
Because competition provides a unique stimulus that often pushes athletes to run faster than they could during practice, we participate in two track meets called the Denver Twilight Series. These are fun track and field meets for athletes of all ages and abilities and are an introduction to track meets.
We'll enjoy a fun atmosphere with music, live results/video, post-race interviews, prizes, and food trucks under the Friday night lights. Enjoy this family-friendly event. Bring a blanket, picnic food/drinks and get ready to sheer for our sprinters!
