About Khadevis
Khadevis Robinson is an Olympian, Fitness Expert, Author, Speaker, Coach.
Khadevis “KD” Robinson stands among America’s most respected voices in sport, not only for his achievements on the track, but for the depth of character and leadership he brings to every arena he enters. A native of Fort Worth, Texas, KD’s journey began on the gridiron, where he excelled in football throughout high school before legend-maker John McKenzie saw his potential on the track and helped steer him toward middle-distance running. That decision set in motion a career defined by grit, persistence, and excellence.
Robinson distinguished himself as one of the nation’s elite athletes as an NCAA champion at Texas Christian University, winner of multiple U.S. national titles in the 800 meters, and a two-time U.S. Olympian who represented Team USA on the world stage. He recorded a personal best of 1:43.68 in the 800m, helped the U.S. 4×800 relay team to an American record, and competed at seven consecutive World Championships.
Transitioning seamlessly from athlete to mentor, KD has built a coaching legacy that spans top collegiate programs. He has shaped champions and All-Americans across institutions such as UNLV, LSU, Ohio State, and now serves as Head Coach and Director of Track & Field at TCU, his alma mater and Hall of Fame institution. Under his leadership, TCU’s program has reached new competitive heights with multiple conference titles, NCAA qualifiers, and record-setting performances.
Beyond the stopwatch and starting line, Khadevis is a devoted family man, husband to his college sweetheart, Stephani McRae Robinson, and father to three children. His eldest sons shine as skilled wide receivers, including one destined for Stanford, while his daughter brings her own light and strength to their family. His pride as a father is as defining as any track accomplishment.
Driven by faith, purpose, and the belief that every challenge is a setup for a comeback, KD’s story resonates far beyond athletics. It is a testament to resilience, intentional growth, and leading with heart, whether mentoring the next generation of runners, speaking to teams and organizations, or shaping champions in sport and in life.
