About Me
I am a USAT Level II Certified Coach (former), Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and an experienced triathlete with nineteen seasons under my belt. I have coached endurance athletes for over twelve years, with a long list of excellent results. Previously, I worked under Coach Joe Friel as an Elite Level Coach at Training Bible Coaching. For the last twelve seasons, I’ve coached many beginners to their first ironman, and half-ironman finishes, more experienced athletes to wins, PR’s, podium finishes, and World Championship level performances.
As a dedicated Coach, I constantly educate myself on the basic art and science of endurance sports, as well as the individuals I coach. I go above and beyond what is required of a USAT Certified Coach in terms of continuing education, because I know it makes me a better Coach.
I believe excellent communication is at the heart of effective coaching and teaching. Important messages are lost if not effectively communicated. So, what does that mean? In my opinion, the often confusing (even intimidating), and interconnected issues of effective training and recovery ought to be tackled in a simple, coherent, understandable way. There’s no need to complicate what’s already likely unfamiliar for the athlete. Leave the confusion game to law professors.
In another career, I was an attorney with an MBA. I naturally use my experience there to my advantage. I believe that through my professional and educational experiences, I have developed top notch communication skills. of course, I effectively bring these skills to my Coaching service.
