Assistant Coach Brandon Diaz 

​

Coach Brandon Diaz is entering his 3rd full year as the Assistant Coach with Gold Medal Athletics and his 5th total year as a track coach. He started coaching right out of high school and coached for Westlake. While coaching there, he specialized in sprints, with a strong emphasis on the 400-meter runners as well as relays. During the 2019 season, he coached the girl's sprint medley relay team to a first-place finish at state. The following 2021 season , he coached an individual state champion in the 400 meters and a state runner-up in the 100 and 200, as well as the Westlake girls 4x400 team, which took third place at state.

 

Coach Diaz later started physical education at Utah Valley University in 2021 and began working with GMA as an Assistant Coach.  At only 24 years old and in just 5 years of coaching, he has assisted Coach Maye with taking many GMA athletes to State, USATF, and AAU championship meets, with many of them coming home with top-place finishes and state records.

​

Coach Diaz is excited to be at GMA assisting Coach Maye and can't wait to help build more future champions!

Assistant Coach Isaiah Gerald

 

Coach Isaiah Gerald is a former 2021 High School State Champion in the 300m hurdles, 3rd place in the 110 hurdles.  While attending Westlake High School he was also a member of GMA during the 2020-2021 Season, and we are so excited to have him back with us now as an Assistant Hurdles Coach.  Coach Gerald is also a member of the Utah Valley University Sprint Team.

 

Here is what Coach Gerald had to say about his training with Gold Medal Athletics…. 

 

GMA gave me the opportunity to hone my craft as a hurdler, as well as improve my times as a sprinter. This combination translated into improving my hurdling abilities along with my speed. The opportunity to practice with the top athletes in the State along with private training resulted in not only a State Championship, but also a D1 Scholarship.  Coach Maye’s workouts and training regimen helped me peak at the right time, and I was happy to see my times drop in not only hurdles, but sprints as well.
