A Commitment to Emotional Intelligence in Sprint Coaching

At FAST Running, led by Steve Dodt, coaching goes beyond training programs and race strategies—it is grounded in the principle of emotional intelligence. Steve believes that great sprinting is not just about physical speed but about nurturing the mind and soul of every athlete.

Empathy as a Foundation

Athletes often face immense pressures—balancing school, social lives, and the desire to succeed. Steve recognizes that understanding these pressures is key to helping athletes perform at their best. Whether it’s taking the time to listen to their concerns, offering words of encouragement after a tough race, or celebrating their victories, Sprint Coach Canberra fosters an environment where athletes feel seen and supported.

Mental Wellness and Growth

Mental wellness is an integral part of Steve’s coaching philosophy. Athletes are guided not just to overcome physical barriers but also to build mental resilience and confidence. At FAST Running, every training session is an opportunity to cultivate emotional strength, equipping athletes with tools to handle the highs and lows of competition and life.

Care Beyond the Track

Steve’s care for his athletes doesn’t end at the finish line. Before competitions, he ensures they are mentally prepared and physically ready. During races, he’s their biggest supporter, focusing on their well-being rather than just results. Afterward, he provides thoughtful feedback, celebrating their growth and helping them learn from every experience.

Developing Individuals, Not Just Athletes

FAST Running’s approach is holistic—focused on developing young individuals with values such as integrity, resilience, and teamwork. Steve understands that his athletes are not just runners; they are future leaders, community members, and role models. The goal is to empower them to excel not only on the track but also in life.
