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...
Carsen's Story Cont.
So, after the season, I sought out coach Caton to help me improve in these events. Saying that he simply helped me with the hurdles is an understatement.
Coach Caton and his methods of teaching allowed me to excel to levels I did not even know were possible. They allowed me to compete on the national level of my age group, to climb leaderboards such as fastest 60 meter hurdle time in Colorado history, where I am now ranked 3rd, to break records such as my school’s 300 hurdle record and countless meet records. Lastly, he allowed me to accomplish my ultimate goal for my final high school season, which was winning state in both 5A 110 and 300 meter hurdles.
None of these accomplishments would have been possible without coach Caton’s expertise. So, whenever someone asks me how they could get better in the hurdles, I give them coach Caton’s website and phone number and tell them “Go to this guy, he will make your hurdling dreams a reality.”

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!

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.

Hurdler Parents of 6 Time Hurdling State Finalist
I am the #1 hurdler for Montgomery county in 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.

High School Senior-Tennessee
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.
Greg & Darcy Bruns Story Cont.
Greg and I, as parents, knew Carsen needed some 1on1 coaching to clean up his form. We were lead to Mike. After one practice with Coach Mike, Mike knew exactly what Carsen was needing in order to become a hurdler.
Mike was confident he could fix Carsen’s form while Greg and I were still a little skeptical.
Carsen decided to work with Coach Mike on a weekly basis.
I remember a phone call from Greg after Carsen had a few practices with Mike.
Greg said, ‘Darc, you should see Carsen. He can truly hurdle. He actually has form of a hurdler’.
We couldn’t wait for the track season to begin. Carsen’s next two years were working on his form, times and consistency.
Carsen’s senior year arrived, with excitement and anxiety it will forever be some of the most memorable times.
Carsen’s indoor season ended with him reaching the 3rd fastest time in the 60m hurdles in the history of CO since the FAT timing system.
Carsen was then recruited by Colorado State University, one goal completed.
Coach Mike continued to give pointers and his expertise to Carsen throughout the outdoor season where Carsen became the state champion in the 110m hurdles and the 300m hurdles.
Coach Mike is incredible in assessing athletes and pin pointing what is needed for their success. Mike was able to break down each movement with Carsen In order for Carsen to succeed.
We will forever acknowledge Coach Mike in giving Carsen his expertise, the time and determination needed for Carsen to become the athlete he is today. Thank you Coach!

My daughter had been working with Mike for about 8 months now. The progress she has made in that time is remarkable. The coaching he is doing is easy and step by step. Mike breaks things down so even the average parent can assist with some drills. He is very responsive to questions I had. We are so excited to start track this year as we feel like she is gone from jumping to hurtling. He also doesn't just stay with the same old same old training. He changes things up to keep it fresh. I highly recommend Mike and his hurdle system.

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.

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.

Coach Caton has done a great job helping my daughter improve her hurdling. He has in-depth expertise and understanding of hurdling. And most importantly, he is an excellent teacher. His video sessions and practice routines have helped my daughter tremendously.
The slow motion video sessions, with his expertise, highlight very effectively what needs to be improved. He then provides detailed training routines to target areas of needed improvements. Follow up videos continue to refine the process.
I highly recommend pursuing teaching sessions with Coach Caton for anyone interested in maximizing hurdling skills."

I had Coach Caton as my track coach through high school. I came in as someone who had never ran track before and had no idea what I was doing. Coach Caton took the time to give me tips and encourage me, and by the end of high school I was running at state and winning MVP for the girl’s side of our team. Now I’m running on scholarship for CCU, and I owe it to Coach Caton’s patience and willingness to teach me. Without him I wouldn’t be anywhere close to where I am today on the track.
