COACHING PHILOSOPHY:
You must learn to compete with yourself before competing with others. Developing a winning mindset within yourself is a huge step toward personal achievement. Coach Bragg focuses on the athlete’s progression and celebrates those small wins that lead to bigger wins down the road. Coach Bragg analyzes the athlete, determines training, then reassesses based on progress.
Coach Bragg is married to his wonderful wife Michelle and they have three boys…and a couple of cats.

I grew up in Overland Park, Kansas, where I ran all four years at Blue Valley Southwest High School. During my high school career, I qualified for the state meet every year in both track and cross country and earned All-State honors each season. I am also proud to still hold the school record in the 4×800-meter relay.
I am currently studying Animal Sciences at Kansas State University and work as an urgent care veterinary nurse. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats, feel free to ask me how they’re doing anytime:)
I love working out regularly by running, weight lifting, swimming, and pilates. I believe it is so important to stay well-rounded and balanced in your fitness life because it can impact your performance as an athlete. Not only does running contribute to physical health, but it has taught me to be mindful, resilient, and mentally tough. I am passionate about track because it builds both the body and the mind- You can conquer anything you put your mind to!!
This will be my first season with Hot Feet Track Club, but I have known JT for awhile! I have a lot of friends who ran for him in the past, who said it was the best experience ever. I am excited to be a part of the team and to get to know each and everyone of you mid-distance kids!! Lets go run our feet off!!
I have been with the Hotfeet team since 2011/12 as an OG member when Hotfeet first became a team. I ran Varsity in HS for Shawnee Mission South and went on to run for Emporia State. I specialize in short sprints – 60, 100, 200, 4×100 relays, block starts. Quick explosion is my specialty.
