What Other Coaches Have to Say
Our boys 4x400 team just won state, thanks to your plan! I was a new coach when I took over this team, so I looked for a plan that would be good for my athletes. I came across your and gave it a go. Great decision! All my kids excelled! Thanks coach!

Thanks coach! I love the format! It's easy to understand and walks me through what I need to do each day. We have a 13 week season and multiple championships the last month of the season so I like the flexibility that I get with this. I just can't decide if I want to use my phone to access it a practice, or print out each days workout to have on a clipboard. I'm looking forward to trying it out!

I have not met a better more knowledgeable hurdle coach out there. I know he has had athletes at many different levels from youth, high school, college, and Masters. At all levels, with all the athletes I have watched him coach have made major improvements, including High School State Champions, several athletes earning college scholarships. You can never go wrong learning and being coached by who I feel is one of the best sprint and hurdle coaches I know.

I researched a lot of hurdle coaches to get help with my High School team, then I found the one! In my first year coaching, I sent two kids to state. That hadn’t happened at our school in over two decades!

What the Athletes & Parents Have to Say
I’ve been working with coach Mike Caton and his ACE Method Coaching since the summer after my freshman year in high school and I have an endless amount of praise to share to his future clients. Before working with coach Caton, my form over the hurdle was not pretty. Every race that season I looked like a baby deer on the track. Despite my lack of ability in the hurdle events, I really enjoyed them. So, after the season...

Thank you for coaching me to become the best athlete that I could be! I Have no idea where I'd be if it wasn't for you! I can't wait to tell you everything at UCCS! You will always be my favorite coach!
Note: Coached Leyah throughout high school. She was a 6 time state finalist (missed 2 due to COVID) and received a college scholarship to the school of her dreams!

Coach Caton took me from a beginner my junior of high school to a top 10 state ranking in both hurdle events in one year! He is very technical about the sport of track and knows how to teach and motivate me. I look up to him as a father figure. He teaches his athletes what’s most important about being on a team and a track team at that. We can connect on a personal level on and off the track.

Simply put, Coach Mike Caton is phenomenal. Our daughter would not have had the success she experienced in high school without his expertise. Her goal was to get a scholarship to run hurdles in college and that's exactly where she landed; which we directly attribute to her hard work and his outstanding coaching. He is a technique expert with the ability to adapt his coaching style to the needs of your athlete. He knows how to communicate with athletes in a way that brings out the best in them both physically and mentally. What your athlete puts into their training with Coach Mike will be returned ten fold. Four children and 20 years into parenting student athletes and Coach Mike is, BY FAR, the best coach we've had the pleasure of working with and knowing.

I am the #1 hurdler for Montgomery county in Clarksville Tennessee, and 22nd in the state of Tennessee. This was all made possible by the help of Coach Caton. After each race I would send film and he would help me get better and better in ways that I didn’t know I could. I’m very appreciative of his help and even to this day I still ask for his recommendation and insight on hurdles. I love how simple he breaks the videos down so it’s easy to understand and then also comes up with ways to correct errors. He has always been excited to help and wanting to know my progress.

Carsen was so very lucky to have you as his coach. Carsen had two dreams he wanted to accomplish prior to graduating from high school….to become a State Champion in the hurdles and to run for a D-1 college. At age 9-14 Carsen ran club track and quickly became a freshman in high school. He was urged to run hurdles, something he had never attempted. He was certainly not graceful jumping over the hurdles. Even so, at the end of his first high school track season he was determined he wanted to continue the hurdles.

110mH & 300mH Champion
I was privileged to be coached by Coach Mike Caton during my 4 years of high school, particularly in the 100m hurdles. He helped me to hone my technique while keeping the main thing the main thing—speed! This carried over into every other event. By the time I graduated, I achieved 6 Colorado State Championship titles in 3 different events. Through his constant encouragement and his commitment to studying the sport, he helped me to grow mentally and physically as an athlete, overcoming numerous fears and mental blocks in order to reach the next level of performance. I am so thankful to have had Coach Caton as my coach, and the foundation he gave me to become a competitive track and field athlete.

My boy was struggling with his technique and I was desperate for specialized advice and attention. After discovering ACE Method Coaching and watching some of the technique analysis videos, I knew I was at the right place. My son made massive improvements in a very short period and managed to qualify for our national championships. We are very exited about the future and know that we are using one of the best coaching methods available. Kind regards Elmien

Coach Caton is an all around great coach, from his technical advice to his caring and friendly personality. He pays attention to detail in form and listened to what I told him I was struggling with and used it and his own observation to redirect me in a productive way that I could easily understand and put to action. He always gave me confidence in myself whenever I was doubting and provided constructive criticism to help me with my form in hurdles and also just sprinting in general.
