Amir Blanchard
Track & Field Coach - Sprints
Amir Blanchard brings a wealth of competitive experience and a passion for technical development to the Nike Track and Field Camps coaching staff. A former standout sprinter at Oak Park River Forest High School, Coach Amir competed in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m, and 4x200m relay, earning All-State honors in both the 200m and the 4x200m relay. Coach Amir continued his athletic career at Benedictine University, where he competed in the 100m, 200m, 4x100m, and 4x400m relay and earned All-NACC Conference honors.
Following his competitive career, Coach Amir joined the coaching staff at Benedictine University as a Sprint Coach, where he translated his experience into developing the next generation of sprinters.
Coach Amir's philosophy is built on intentional, high-quality training rooted in sprint mechanics, technical mastery, and a deep understanding of the "why" behind every rep. Athletes who train with Coach Amir will develop proper force application, sharper acceleration, elite maximum velocity mechanics, and efficient movement patterns, all while understanding the purpose behind each drill and exercise.
His goal extends far beyond simply making athletes faster. Coach Amir is committed to developing smarter, more confident, and more complete sprinters who are equipped to perform at the highest level and to carry those lessons with them long after camp ends.
