Badowsky spent the last year at Western Colorado as the program's head track and field coach. In his one season with the Mountaineers, Badowsky propelled the men's and women's track & field teams to USTFCCCA top-ten rankings. He guided athletes to school records in the indoor 200-meter, pole vault, and 100-meter hurdles, as well as the outdoor 200-meter, 400-meter hurdles, 4x100 relay, and shot put. Badowsky also saw eight athletes earn All-America and CSC All-District honors, and coached 24 all-conference athletes along with three conference champions.
Before his stint with Western Colorado, Badowsky spent six seasons as an assistant coach at Southern Oregon. He oversaw all recruiting efforts and coached the sprints, hurdles, throws, and multi-event groups. With Southern Oregon, Badowsky produced 48 All-Americans and helped athletes set 21 school records and four conference records. He also coached 69 all-conference athletes, 23 conference champions, and led Zach Beltz to win the long jump national title in 2019.
From 2015-17, Badowsky served as an assistant coach at Boise State. During his time with the Broncos, Badowsky designed training programs for vertical jumpers, hurdlers and throwers. He coached four All-Mountain West athletes, two school record holders, and sent two athletes to NCAA Preliminary Rounds.

He then joined the Heat Track Club as an assistant coach between 2014-15.
