Background

I’m Jon O’Toole, founder and head coach of Island Elite Jumping. I graduated from Purdue University in 2019 with a degree in Movement and Sports Sciences and started IEJ in spring 2022 with just one athlete.

Since then, IEJ has grown into a USATF-registered track and field club serving over 140 athletes across multiple states, from beginners to collegiate and professional competitors. Our athletes’ accomplishments include national championships, All-American honors, county titles, and collegiate success.

I use my sports science background to make the techniques behind jumping and combined events easier to understand and apply. Through group practices, private training, and individualized coaching, my goal is to help athletes build confidence, improve their performance, and prepare for the next level.

Based on Long Island, IEJ now also supports post-collegiate and professional athletes as they continue pursuing their goals beyond college.
