Coach Mastermind Group
ESCI Level 2About
I am the Owner and Head Coach of Infinitude Multisport Coaching. Infinitude was born out of needs that I had as an athlete and felt that it could be something I could bring to other athletes. I was a triathlete, worked a 15 hour day job and juggled all that with a marriage and two dogs. I wanted to help people like me, athletes that want to get to the finish line but struggled to keep training goals balanced with work and life. I left my day job and turned to coaching full time in 2016 and got on board with TriDot as an athlete before joining their coach ranks in 2019.
Philosophy
My coaching philosophy is based on mutual respect and trust. Just as much as it is my responsibility to take care of athletes, it is also the athlete's responsibility to communicate with me about anything that can influence training and racing. For me the relationship is always equal. I can only coach at my best if I have consistent feedback and trust from the athletes I work with. I also firmly believe there is no such thing as "disappointing your coach". I am pushing you to be the best athlete you can be, so I will never be disappointed in a race result. Getting an athlete to the start line, ready and confident is a proud moment for any coach.
