During his time as a coach, Coach Kyle has guided athletes to podium finishes in all the speed/power events (sprints, hurdles, jumps, throws) at the FHSAA State Championship. Coaching at The Bolles School, he has completely rewritten the record books on both the boys’ and girls’ sides. Changing the reputation of Bolles being primarily a distance school to that of domination in the sprints and jumps in recent years. Coach Kyle obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Arkansas State University and is USATF Level 2 certified in the Jumps and Level 3 certified in the Sprints/Hurdles/Relays, which is the highest level of certification offered in the United States. He has also written multiple articles around sprint and hurdle training methodology and philosophy.
