ETS Performance - Kalamazoo

⭐ FEATURE FRIDAY ⭐

This week, we’re shining the spotlight on the incredible coaching staff that helps make ETS Kalamazoo a place where athletes thrive.

Coach Mac, Coach Grace, Coach Emma, and Coach James bring passion, knowledge, energy, and leadership to every training session. Their commitment goes far beyond the weight room and turf—they invest in building confident, disciplined, and resilient athletes who are prepared to succeed both in sports and in life.

Every sprint coached, every lift corrected, every word of encouragement, and every challenge presented is done with one goal in mind: helping our athletes become the best version of themselves.

The culture at ETS Kalamazoo is built on hard work, accountability, and excellence, and these coaches lead by example every single day. We are grateful for the impact they continue to make on our athletes, families, and community.

Join us in celebrating Coach Mac, Coach Grace, Coach Emma, and Coach James for their dedication to developing stronger, faster, and more confident athletes.

Speed Plus To World Record Holder 🏃‍♀️‍➡️🌍🌎🌏

Some accomplishments are measured by medals. Others are remembered for making history.

Big congratulations to Delilah Mathieu and her team of five Kalamazoo students who shattered records with an incredible feat—running a 5K in six different countries all in one day!

Traveling through Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, France, Germany, and Luxembourg, Delilah and her teammates beat the previous world record of five countries set in 2022. They completed six 5Ks across six nations in under 24 hours, showcasing extraordinary endurance, grit, and mental strength.

Even at a young age, when most athletes are just starting out, Delilah proves what’s possible when passion, preparation, and a daring spirit unite.

We’re thrilled to celebrate this historic achievement and the dedication behind it. Let's Gooo Delilah! 👏🔥
