About Gwen Mikinski

World-Class Experience. Athlete-Focused Training.

Join two-time national champion, world-class high jumper, and Olympic coach Gwen Mikinski to train for what your sport demands.

Sports performance and athletic development is for athletes who want to run faster, jump higher, move better, and become more explosive. Gwen brings decades of elite competition and coaching experience to athletes of every sport, applying proven track-and-field principles to help athletes develop the speed, power, agility, and athletic ability they need to perform at their highest level.

Gwen’s journey began at Grand Blanc High School in Michigan, where her passion for competition and athletic development took root. She went on to compete at Kansas State University, earning eight-time All-American honors before embarking on a 16-year professional career with Nike, competing as a world-class high jumper on the international stage.

Her experience extends well beyond competition. Gwen has coached Division I track and field at Kansas State University and UC Irvine and has served on numerous U.S. national team staffs, working with athletes from the Junior World Championships through the Olympic Games.

That broad perspective gives Gwen a unique understanding of athletic development. She knows what it takes to compete at the highest level—but, more importantly, she understands that every athlete starts from a different place. Her training approach meets athletes where they are in their journey and gives them the tools to take the next step.

More than 90% of the middle and high school athletes Gwen has worked with have gone on to compete at the collegiate level. While that achievement is something she is proud of, her ultimate goal is bigger than college recruitment or competition.

It’s about developing the athlete—and the person.

Gwen is passionate about helping athletes discover what they are capable of, develop confidence in their abilities, and build the physical tools necessary to reach their potential.

Whether you're preparing for your next season, pursuing college athletics, or simply looking to become a better athlete, Gwen brings world-class experience, proven principles, and an athlete-first approach to every training session.
