I’m Coach Erik Johnson, and I thought I’d take a moment to tell you a little about myself.
I started competing in Track and Field at 10yrs old. It was field day Aire Libre Middle School in Phoenix, AZ and I had to run in a race. As I ran, a bigger and faster kid, pushed me down and I fell. Determined to kick this kid’s a$$, I got up and ran as fast as my legs could carry me and won the race! (I believe there were a few choice words spoken on the winner’s block between him and me)
A woman, by the name of Illene Molinski, saw my grit on the track and approached my father and me. She suggested I join a track and field club her husband ran called- Paradise Valley Athletic Track Club- Go PVAC! read more…
THROWER STRONGEach athlete that joins ATN is coached as an individual, and not a number! We assess and analyze each thrower’s strength and ability levels and design a program specifically structured to achieve the goals desired. Coach Johnson is always available to any thrower’s -and parents of the athlete- questions concerning training, requirements for a college entry, pro level programs, or master level program design.
