Hurdle Calculator Program – WINDOWS Version

The Hurdle Calculator Program is a data-driven coaching system built specifically for hurdle coaches who want to analyze race performances, design smarter practices, and improve hurdler consistency using real performance data.

Developed from 14+ years of NCAA Division I coaching experience, this program turns raw times, splits, and hurdle data into actionable coaching insights you can immediately apply on the track.

This is not a basic spreadsheet — it is a protected, macro-enabled Excel performance tool designed to save time, remove guesswork, and bring structure to hurdle development.

What the Program Does

The Hurdle Calculator Program allows coaches to:

• Analyze hurdle races using split and finish times
• Calculate optimal hurdle spacings for practice sessions
• Identify where athletes gain or lose time during races
• Visualize performance trends with charts and graphs
• Design targeted workouts instead of using generic spacings
• Organize athlete data cleanly in one centralized system

This tool supports both short hurdles (100/110m) and long hurdles (300/400m).

How It Helps Improve Hurdlers

🎯 Smarter Practice Design

Practice spacings are generated from real performance data — helping athletes train rhythm, spacing, and execution with greater precision.

📊 Clear Performance Analysis

Coaches can break races into meaningful segments, track improvement over time, and identify technical breakdown points.

📈 Visual Feedback

Charts and summaries make it easier to communicate feedback and connect practice execution to race performance.

⏱ Saves Coaching Time

All calculations are automated, allowing coaches to focus on coaching — not spreadsheets.
