Well rounded in his coaching approach. He has more than paid his dues in terms of being both an athlete and a coach..

Chas is a really solid coach. I know there are a lot of reviews that say that he is racist and bigoted but that is definitely not the case. He may be a little disorganized at times but honestly I think it adds to his charm. Chas is definitely a go with the flow guy which has been awesome for me. As someone who has never been to the West Coast Chas made a considerable effort to take the team to cool places so we could see things other than the track or course. Chas has even gone so far to take the team an hour out of the way to go run in a beautiful redwood forest because I had said that I’d never seen redwoods before. Most of his training is effort based. This means if you are being overtrained it’s your own fault. Sure he wants you to go fast in workouts and will sometimes give you paces that you’ll be unsure of but there have been very few times where the paces that he has given me wasn’t something that I couldn’t dig deep to hit. Another really great thing about Chas is that he will tell it to you as it is. I have definitely had my share of bad races and he is very straight forward about them but honestly it can be a bit refreshing. Coming from a coach that wouldn’t talk to me after a bad race it has been a breath of fresh air to know that he still cares about you and that he doesn’t fault you for your mistakes. Would definitely recommend Chas and would Definitely recommend UAA.

As a parent of a D1 athlete, Chas was a large part of the reason my daughter decided to attend her university. Chas was always, and still is, one of the kindest, most caring coaches I have ever met. He is encouraging, supportive, hard-working, personable, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable. He truly cares about his athletes, both on the track, in the classroom, and as students and young adults balancing the many demands they face. When my daughter was struggling with some injuries and personal issues, Chas was always there for her. Even though Chas is now at a different university, my daughter and our family still keep in touch with him. He is an outstanding person and any athlete would be privileged to call him "Coach."

Chas is a well rounded coach who knows what he is doing. Every time I would speak to him, I would be shocked at how positive of an experience it was. Many coaches can be super unavailable and not friendly, and Chas is the exact opposite of that. If something comes up, he is happy to get together and work things through as both a coach and friend. He truly believes in his athletes, which is exactly what you need if you are truly striving to be the best runner and person you can be.
