Ryan BonHomme
Events: Sprints Born: July 16, 1979; Austin, TX High School: LBJ '97
College: SMU
My name is Ryan BonHomme and I have been coaching track since 1998 and was a member of the Southern Methodist University Track (SMU) in Dallas, Texas. I coached 1 year with the Austin Striders Track Club and the rest of my time has been spent coaching with Central Texas Elite. I competed in summer track as well as school. After high school I always wanted to do something to give back to the summer program that got me started and developed in track and field. With Elite I was given that chance to do so where I coached young athletes ages 6 to 18.
During my time coaching with Central Texas Elite, I have developed numerous of young athletes to All-American status on the track as well as outstanding student-athletes at their respective schools. I look forward to each and every summer working with your young athletes.

Coach
Andre Robertson
I grew up in Indiana, where I graduated from Wabash College with a degree in Economics. There, I played basketball, and was fortunate enough as a freshman to play on our Division III National Championship team. In December 2008, I celebrate 20 years of leadership with State Farm Insurance.
Some of my hobbies and interest are spending time with my wife and three little girls. But I also love college and pro basketball, golf, and track and field. I participate in each when I can. Due to my three daughter’s involvement and success with track and field I became a student of the sport, and started my coaching career with the Greyhound Track Club in Bakersfield, CA and continued with the Austin Striders Track Club in Austin, TX when I moved to Round Rock with my family in 2003. In addition to helping coach my three daughters to became national qualifiers, I have coached several other young athletes on relays, sprints, and field events to help them reached their highest potential. I am heavily involved in outreach programs and ministries through my church and serve on the Youth Leadership Advisory Council for the Greater Austin United Way.
As a coach and mentor, I thrive on teamwork and leadership. I seek to identify and understand the gift and talents of each athlete. This allows me to be intentional in finding ways to best utilize every athlete, and help them connect and reach their full potential. Based on the skill sets of my athletes and resources available, I am passionate about finding creative ways to meet their goals and aspirations. In addition to building better athletes, I am passionate about building better students and citizens. I want them to learn how to boldly make prudent decisions, develop challenging perspectives about life, and confidently step up as leaders in times of uncertainty.
I love kids and desire for each of them to succeed. I hope to make a difference in their lives and help them reach their full potential.
