Coaching Philosophy
I have been competing in triathlons for several years and have completed every distance from sprint triathlons to Ironman. My favorite distance to is the 70.3. For those of us that work full-time and have a family it is manageable to train and race without suffering from your other commitments too much.
As a coach and athlete I have noticed three things that really help an athlete cross that finish line at their best. 1) Consistency in training. An athlete must be consistent in completing their scheduled workouts as designed. This doesn't mean you can't skip a workout due to fatigue, work or family commitments, it means when you do your workouts you follow the schedule. 2) Proper Recovery. Most athletes, including myself, tend to think more or faster is better. Sometimes it is just the opposite, you must go slower to get faster or you may need an extra day off to be at your best. 3) Mental Attitude. This sport is tough! It is hard enough to master any one of the three discipline, but to put them all together for a single event can be mind boggling and straight out mind draining. Having that right attitude and commitment to do the work will get you to the finish line.
I am committed to work with no more than ten full-time triathletes which ensures I have the time to dedicate to each athlete to ensure they are progressing as a triathlete and growing as a person.
God Bless
