MY PHILOSOPHY
My background is strong in the endurance sports world including 25 years of competitive experience competing in endurance sports, particularly triathlon, running, and some cycling. I started competing in triathlon in 2007 as a novice after collegiate running, moving up the ranks and racing in the elite-amateur division in triathlon. I still run competitively and I began running when I was just 12 years old consistently. My coaching is detailed and based on the individual, which includes an extensive athlete assessment, combined with years of experience and coupled knowledge to help you reach your goals. Throughout your training, we will meet and talk in person or virtually for performance and technical analysis. With this comes knowing my clients inside and outside the sport rather than just giving them a plan. I am more of a hands-on coach and getting to know my clients through their training sessions and feedback. Communication is the key between the coach and the athlete to reaching goals and staying injury-free. My commitment to you is to do all I can to help you reach your goals.
