ABOUT ME
Building Personalized Coaching Starting at a Level That’s Appropriate for You
Meet Bob Cantrall—the visionary founder of the St Helena Track Club and head coach of St. Helena High School’s Track & Field team. A lifelong athlete with over 35 years as a master’s sprinter, Bob is a University of Oregon Track and Field alumnus, USA Track & Field Level II Certified coach, and a Certified Interscholastic Coach. From winning his first 40-yard dash at age 10 to competing in state finals across multiple events, Bob has transformed his rich athletic journey into a coaching philosophy centered on mentorship and personal growth. Passionate about providing high-quality coaching to athletes of all ages and abilities, he operates year-round to help individuals become the best version of themselves—recreationally, academically, collegiately, or professionally.
The 1981 four-time Academy Award-winning film “Chariots of Fire” epitomizes what I believe with every fiber of my being: the transformative power of dedicated coaching. The film highlights the rivalry between two polar-opposite personalities and physiques, Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell, leading up to the 1924 Paris Olympics. Nearing the end of an undefeated collegiate career at Cambridge, Abrahams loses a 100-meter race at his best to Scotland’s record holder, Liddell, by four meters in the 1923 Stamford Bridge London AAA Championships.
In the movie, after this crushing defeat, Harold tells his girlfriend and future wife, Sybil Evers, that he cannot run any faster and will not run if he cannot win. She wisely replies, “You cannot win if you do not run.” Motivated by this truth, Abrahams makes the controversial decision—for an amateur athlete of that era—to hire the legendary sprint coach Sam Mussabini. Over the next six months, Sam meticulously refines Harold’s start, stride, and form. The result? Abrahams wins the 1924 Paris Olympics 100 meters, overtaking the favored U.S. 1921 Olympic champion Charles Paddock and teammate Jackson Scholz.
Harold Abrahams recognized that he couldn’t achieve his goals alone; he needed expert guidance to make history. That pivotal decision not only immortalized his achievement but also underscores the profound impact a dedicated coach can have on an athlete’s performance. If you’re trying to develop yourself as an athlete by relying solely on social media videos or blogs, you may be exposing yourself to questionable science and missing out on the invaluable benefits of a trained, experienced coach’s eye.
I offer you best-in-class scientific training and a watchful coach’s eye to help you unlock your full potential. Just as Abrahams transformed his destiny with the help of a coach, you too can achieve greatness with personalized guidance tailored to your unique abilities and goals. Don’t settle for less when you can have professional coaching that propels you to new heights.
