COACH BOBBY KERSEE

Long regarded as one of the top track and field coaches in the world, Bobby Kersee has been named 2022 Olympic Coach of the Year by the United States Olympic Committee after guiding his athletes to historic achievements. For 10 consecutive Olympic Games and over 40 years, Kersee has coached one, and often many, US athletes to win gold medals. An incredible coaching dynasty.

A 1978 graduate of Long Beach State, he coached the women’s team while earning a degree in physical education. Following Long Beach, Kersee began work toward a master’s degree in exercise physiology at CSUN. Born in the Canal Zone, Panama, Kersee married Jackie Joyner in January 1986, and is the president of the Board of Directors of the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Boys and Girls Club of East St. Louis, IL.

Kersee began coaching at UCLA in 1980 after leading Cal State Northridge to consecutive Division I national championships in 1978 and 1979. Kersee completed his ninth season as head coach at UCLA in 1993 by winning the Pacific-10 title and placing third at the NCAA Outdoor. His team was runner up for two additional seasons. He now enters his 43rd year as a member of the UCLA women’s track and field coaching staff.

Kersee went on to be the premier women’s sprints and hurdles coaches in the world and has guided numerous athletes to Olympic, World, U.S. and NCAA titles. Under his tutelage more than a dozen athletes have won multiple gold medals at multiple Olympic games including his wife,  Jackie Joyner-Kersee ( 5 Olympic Games, three gold medals, six medals in total) and she was named Athlete of the Century. His athletes currently hold multiple world records.

With an career that has spanned 4 decades and 10 Olympic cycles he helped make history at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio with gold medalists Allyson Felix, whose journey from crutches to 3 Olympic gold medals made her the most decorated USA female track athlete of all time, and with Helen Maroulis, the first USA women to win Olympic Gold in Wrestling. Tennis great Pete Sampras said he “saved my career” when recovering from a spinal disc injury to win an unprecedented 13 Gram Slam title. He served Maria Sharapova when she was the world’s #1 tennis player and Kobe Bryant when he won the 2003 NBA Championship and All Star status.
