Here's who you will learn from...

Jonas Dodoo

Jonas developed as a coach through his passion for speed and power and was lucky enough to be under the tutelage of Master Coach Dan Pfaff for four years. Jonas has worked with many elite performers across a range of sports but with his main successors and main role within Track and Field. Jonas currently has an Elite Group of Sprinters based out of the National Institute at Loughborough and he is also currently Consulting at Premiership and Championship Football and Rugby clubs working with their staff and first team players.

Jonas Tawiah-Dodoo is a British high performance coach based in Loughborough, Leicestershire. Dodoo is internationally known as the coach of the aspiring runner, Reece Prescod, and several other Olympic and Paralympic medalists such as Greg Rutherford, and Olivia Breen. He was one of the eight coaches who underwent UK Athletics’ Elite Coaching Apprenticeship Programme (ECAP) in the lead-up to the London 2012 Olympics. His wife, Julie Hollman Dodoo, was an Olympic heptathlete, and is a Level 3 Performance Coach and works with England Athletics.

Dodoo played many kinds of sports in the school including rugby. He also played rugby in Hartpury College, where he earned his degree and master’s in Coaching Science. For four years, he was under the tutelage of world-renowned master coach, Dan Pfaff, under the UK Athletics’ Elite Coaching Apprenticeship Programme, and did his master’s thesis about him. Dodoo’s wife, Julie Hollman, also went under Pfaff’s mentorship. Because of this, Dodoo founded Speedworks Charity for aspiring athletes, where he has managed to develop several world-class athletes and coaches. One of the Charity’s athletes was Reece Prescod, who won a silver medal for 100m (9.96) at the 2018 European Athletics Championship. But besides being known for coaching elite athletes, he also has a large involvement in team sports in the UK. In an interview with Athletics Weekly, he said that his company, Speedworks, is “a business in team sports and as a charity in athletics.” He is the speed consultant to Eddie Jones in England Rugby and works as a personal speed coach with England's Anthony Watson and Jonathan Joseph.
