My name is Hope Bender and I am a professional track and field heptathlete from Newport Beach, CA. I graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2019 as a 4x NCAA Division I All-American and 6x Big West Conference Champion. I placed inside the top 10 at the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials in the heptathlon, won silver at the 2023 U.S. Indoor Championships in the pentathlon, and have represented Team USA twice as a 2019 and 2023 member of the Thorpe Cup. I’m currently training in San Marcos, TX for the 2024 Olympic Trials next summer.
I’ve spent the last three years as an assistant track and field coach at UCSB, as well as privately coaching athletes in all sports in the Santa Barbara community. I’ve worked with UCSB and high school baseball players on improving maximum velocity, becoming more powerful and efficient with their starts, and running effectively on a curve.
A key emphasis of my speed programs will be safe and efficient running mechanics to help avoid preventable non-contact injuries such as hamstring, calf, and quad strains. I’m passionate about working hard and leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of becoming the best person and athlete you can possibly be.

"Whether it's a seasoned baseball player or a beginner, Positive Baseball program have something for every level of player. My son has been coached and works privately with Boom Coaches and he has improved tremendously in all aspects of the game. With my son being a seasoned athlete, Boom Coaches immediately knew he needed to work on approach at the plate and intent on the mound. They went to work and with the results my son saw, his confidence and performance have greatly improved. He is now working on S&C with Boom Coaches, identified as the next step, to help him improve his HS baseball career and his dream of being a D1 ball player. I would strongly recommend Boom Coaches to anyone who wants to give their player more velocity, control, mental approach and most of all, confidence."
"My son has really enjoyed working with Boom Coaches in multiple strength and agility camps. They knows how to find the right balance among motivation, instruction, and fun which allows him to create a supportive environment for sustained athletic growth. The kids work in these sessions; but they enjoy them too. And their teaching style gives them the tools to sustain their improvement when they are on their own. Moreover, I can tell a real difference on the field when my son is competing. He is quicker and more coordinated in his movements. He has expanded his defensive range on the baseball field and he is faster on the base paths."
"We just want to say how much both our boys have enjoyed the Agility camps with Boom Coaches. We have a son who is a select player and one that it is a rec player. Both boys have improved on their athletic ability by attending these camps. The coaches do a great job pushing our kids to get the best out of them. We highly recommend these for any athlete looking to improve themselves."

The basis for all sports is athleticism. This is where we come in. We focus on specific training patterns and body movements that will directly correlate to a baseball field and any team sports. You will find yourself getting to more groundballs, running down more flyballs and taking more efficient routes around the bases. We emphasis on bringing the most ability out of your player by creating better athletes!
The best way to increase these attributes is to create more sports specific efficient movements. Examples of wasted movements include bad form, unnecessary extra steps or a lack of coordination. Training with us will help you individually and any team sports athletes perform better in these aspects. As you improve in these areas, you will notice your speed/agility/quickness improving. The more efficient you move, the more athletic you will feel!
What's good form without that extra power behind it? As you improve your athleticism, you need that explosive power to really be the best sports athlete you can be. Learn how to translate your more efficient movements (through training) into more power towards your athletes specific sport. All team sports will benefit! Come learn how to make this possible!
