I am happy to announce that, starting in October of 2021, Team Steve will return to providing hurdling instruction after a two-year pandemic-induced layoff. Before the pandemic began, I, along with coach Hector Cotto and the rest of our staff, conducted seven Team Steve Speed & Hurdle Camps between 2017 and 2019. Now we will be conducting a revamped version, which we are entitling The Team Steve Downhill Hurdling Academy. The name change reflects two things: 1) We will specifically be teaching the “downhill” hurdling style that I have been using exclusively with my own athletes for the past five years or so. 2) The word “Academy” is intentional, as it reflects an even greater emphasis on our academic approach to guiding hurdlers in the do’s and don’t’s of how to hurdle in a manner that is both fluid and aggressive. Academy #1 is for athletes who have run 14.99 or faster in the 100/110h, while Academy #2 is for those who have run slower than that or are new to hurdling. read more

A Chat with my Students

May 2, 2021

A couple weeks ago, two of my students interviewed me for their podcast. They asked me about various aspects of my life, including my childhood/adolescence growing up in the Philly area, my teaching and coaching philosophies, the three weeks I spent in the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia when I was diagnosed with aplastic anemia at the age of 17, my musical tastes, and some things relevant to their lives as teenagers about to graduate from high school. It was a real fun talk. If you want to know more about me as a person, click on my name below:
