Brandon Diaz is a former Westlake High School track athlete and now coaches with Gold Medal Athletics. He graduated high school in 2018 with a 3.75 GPA, and was a State qualifier in the Medley and 4x400 relay, as well as a finalist in the 400-meter dash at the 2018 Region 4 Championships.

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.

 

Brandon took 2020 off to gain further knowledge and education on coaching and returned again in 2021. That season, he coached an individual state champion in the 400 meters and state runner-up in the 100 and 200, as well as the Westlake girls 4x400 team, who took third place at state. Not only does Brandon have coaching experience, but he is also a certified NFHS coach, as well as being certified in CPR.

Brandon's specialties are block form and training, baton handoffs, and proper race modeling. He knows each of his athletes personally, including race strengths and weaknesses. He knows how to harness those to create a custom race plan. Coach Diaz is excited to be coaching GMA alongside Coach Maye and can't wait to help build more future champions!
