About
My name is Mariano Hernandez
Let's Cut to the Chase 🚀
I'm a former NCAA Division 1 Track & Field Coach, certified in Personal Training, Nutrition, and Strength & Conditioning — with a passion for helping young athletes unlock their full potential, not just on the stopwatch, but in how they lead themselves, think, and live.
I created EliteU247 because I saw firsthand what most athletes are missing: real mentorship beyond the sport, the tools to master their mindset, and a blueprint for success after the last race is over.
The Athletes I've Coached Get Results
Over three years coaching D1 sprinters and hurdlers at Grand Canyon University, I managed a roster of 40+ athletes — and pushed them to break 10+ school records. I've also trained athletes outside of track, including soccer and football players, using the same speed and explosiveness system to make them faster on the field, not just the track.
🏆 Miguel Rosario — 100m: 10.3 → 10.09 | 200m: 20.59 → 20.13
🏆 Nina Thevenin — Broke GCU's indoor school records in the 60m and 200m
🏆 Jacob Holguin — 100m: 10.6 → 10.4 (10.3 wind-aided)
🏆 Joshua Gittens — 400m: 47.2 → 46.2
Multiple athletes went on to become NCAA and Regionals qualifiers. This is the same system I use to coach every athlete inside EliteU247.
My approach combines sprint mechanics backed by science, mental performance coaching, and the discipline and personal growth that carries far past the finish line.
This isn't just training — it's transformation. Whether your athlete is a rising freshman or a D1 recruit, my goal is to help them become the most elite version of themselves, 24/7.
Let's get to work.
