OUR FOUNDERS & CO-OWNERS
Their dedication and sacrifice have proven to be an example for many up and coming athletes around the country. Their unwavering commitment stands as a beacon of hope.
Coach Samantha Gary graduated from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where she majored in Sports Management along with a Business minor. She was part of the Lady Vols Track and Field program, where she competed as a scholarship athlete for four years.
“Coach Candi is more than a great track coach. She invests her compassion, commitment, and dedication to each person she trains. She is interested in the whole well-being of those she coaches and provides an environment for her athletes to grow and push their limits. We have found her to be personable, and honest. She takes a disciplined approach to track training and workouts; showing an interest in their diets, personal choices and treats each person with the utmost respect. When things got tough for our daughter, she was right there to encourage and ultimately turn her difficulties into teachable moments to propel her forward.”
Major Impact is a great organization and resource for any athlete trying to improve and/or run at the collegiate level. Honestly, I don’t think that I would have been able to run a 1:55 in the 800 and break 50 in the 400 without the coaches at Major Impact. Coach Sam and Coach Gary helped push me and believed I could run at a level that I thought was not possible for me. Even though I didn’t pursue running in college, Coach Sam helped connect many athletes on the team with college coaches which is invaluable to an aspiring collegiate athlete.
Training under Major Impact Sports has been undeniably the largest contributor to my accomplishments as a track and field athlete. I started focusing on track my senior year of high school, and with the coaching staff’s guidance, knowledge, and encouragement I was able to continue competing at the next level at Samford University. I am now in my sophomore year and still loving every minute as a collegiate athlete. Thank you again to the Major Impact family for shaping me into the woman and athlete I am today!
