My teenage son attended four running sessions with Allan during the summer holidays. Allan was always punctual, professional and really helped Eddie with his running style. I would highly recommend him to any athlete looking to improve on running technique and speed. In my son’s case this has hugely helped with his rugby. Thank you Allan!

Allan has coached our son for the last three years and the progress has been fantastic. Ross is now ranked 3rd in Scotland in his age group for high jump at 11 years old, and Allan has played a vital part in that journey.

Whether it's training or competition day, he's always measured, supportive and knows exactly what to say. He's regularly at competitions, offering advice and making small adjustments when they matter most, which has really helped Ross's development and confidence.

A great coach who genuinely cares about the athletes he works with. We couldn't ask for better support for Ross.

I’m so pleased that we approached Allan in January 2026. Our daughter was struggling with her high jump and she felt that it was her weakest event in pentathlon.

Allan analysed her approach and jump, and was able to tell her exactly what she needed to do to fix it. Her approach has massively improved in the brief time he has been her coach. He showed her drills and taught her the physics behind things such as the take off and her overall running technique.

He is able to explain things in way that allows our daughter to understand. It is worth our journey from Glasgow to Meadowbank for each session.

Booked 4 sessions with Allan the sprint coach at Meadowbank Stadium for my son who is a keen American Football player. He was needing input on sprinting techniques. Allan quickly identified areas that needed improving and was able to enhance my son’s technique in many areas, including useful game play situations. I would certainly recommend Allan.

I booked 3 block sessions with Allan to help me with my technique and in the hope of being able to react quicker and increase my speed on the football pitch.

Not only did I feel better in training and games but my coaches noticed that my speed of thought, reaction times and the first few meters of movement had increased visibly

I have worked with Allan since 2019 I could not recommend his coaching and group sessions more. When I first started I had never really won much and didn’t have the most confidence during competition. With Allan’s first hand experience of being an athlete he helped me overcome this taking my athletics to a new level. Now over 6 years later Allan has helped me compete for Scotland multiple times and win competitions such as Scottish and English champs. During which he would even travel down to London to help me during the competition… 5 stars

My daughter has had a fantastic experience training with Allan. He has been professional, knowledgeable and supportive from the start. He has taught her how to properly use starting blocks and helped to improve her running technique and build strong sprint mechanics. His clear explanations and constructive feedback have really helped her confidence and performance. The sessions are well structured and motivating and she genuinely enjoys each one. Thanks to his coaching, she has already achieved new personal bests, which has been wonderful to see. As she begins working on speed endurance, we’re excited to see her continue progressing under his guidance.

My daughter has trained with Allan since 2024. She really enjoys the sessions and is always motivated to attend. He has really helped her with her sprinting technique and spent a lot of time working on her starts, which has resulted in consistent improvement in her times. Allan also introduced Strength & Conditioning into her training schedule - which has made a huge difference to her overall fitness, strength and confidence.

Allan is an exceptional coach whose expertise, experience and passion for athletics have made a real difference in my child’s development. His sessions are engaging and motivating, and my so. Genuinely looks forward to them. We have seen fantastic progress in his sprinting and it’s clear that Allan’s guidance is helping him reach his potential.

My daughter Callie has been working with Head Coach Allan for a while now, and we’ve been so impressed with the results. Not only has she improved her sprinting technique and speed, but she’s also gained a lot of confidence in herself as an athlete. Coach Allan is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate about helping kids grow (both on and off the track). He creates a positive and encouraging environment that motivates Callie to push herself and enjoy the process. We’re so grateful to have found this program and can’t recommend it highly enough!

My child came back from their first session with Allan absolutely buzzing about it and can't wait to go back. First time I have seem them so energised about something that isn't electronic. I stood and watched the session, Allan has a great way to encourage yet ensure the kids are doing what he wants. Can't speak highly enough of Allan.

We’ve had a fantastic experience with Coach Allan! My daughter, Felicity, has shown noticeable improvement in her speed and overall confidence since training with them. The sessions are well-structured, motivating, and tailored to bring out the best in each athlete. Felicity always comes home excited and happy after practice, which speaks volumes about the positive environment Coach Allan creates. Highly recommend for anyone looking to develop their child’s athletic skills in running, jumping, and overall performance!

A Parent’s Perspective: A Truly Exceptional Coach

My son joined Allan’s sprinting group about a year and a half ago, and the progress he’s made has been incredible. Allan’s expertise in sprinting has undoubtedly helped him improve his speed and technique, but what really sets Allan apart is his holistic approach to coaching. He didn’t just focus on sprinting—he took the time to support my son in other disciplines like high jump, shot put, and long jump, helping him become a well-rounded athlete.

During a challenging period when my son was going through a growth spurt and his body was changing rapidly, Allan was a steady and understanding guide. His experience meant he could offer advice and reassurance in situations my son had never encountered before, which made him feel much more prepared and confident going into competitions.

As a mum, I’ve found the world of athletics quite foreign, but Allan has always been patient and approachable. He never made me feel like any question was too silly, and he was always willing to explain things and offer guidance. That kind of support means the world to a parent.

For anyone considering joining Allan’s coaching group, I can wholeheartedly say that your child will be in safe, capable hands. And as a parent, you’ll feel just as supported and reassured knowing that your child is being guided by someone who genuinely cares.
