Coach Mastermind GroupAbout
I am a Certified Ironman Training coach, focused on multisport events including triathlons, duathlons, marathons and even trail running. I am based in Oklahoma City, OK but technology allows me to coach athletes from all over! I am a proud husband to a beautiful and supportive wife as well as father of two teenagers. My journey began with a sprint triathlon in 2010. After my first race, I was hooked and have been living a triathlon lifestyle ever since.I have completed 12 full Ironman distances races, several half Ironman distance races, and multiple Olympic, sprint and super-sprint distance triathlons. This is in addition to 13 full marathons, 8 half marathons, and various trail running races and mountain biking races. I have a Bachelors of Science in Health & Sports Science as well as an MBA.I pull from my experience racing, the skills developed through the Ironman Coaching certification, and of course listening to the needs and feedback from those I help coach!
Philosophy
Love of the Game: To all those adults and youths out there setting goals, pushing themselves during training and practice and showing up to race day, I am so proud of you! Our time is precious, and we choose to spend part of it training for a sport we love! I want everyone I coach to have that drive and love for multisport races too! Relationship: As a former college professor, one of my strengths is relating to athletes with a teacher mindset. I am empathetic to all different levels of athletes, whether you are just dipping your toe into the sport for the first time or you are an advanced racer. Time is one of our most valuable assets, and I value this the most. I will work with you to create a training plan that works best with your lifestyle and schedule. Whether you are a road warrior like me and travel a lot for work or a stay at home parent, I can create a plan that works best for you. Ownership: I am fully committed to helping you achieve your goals. I approach every client as a unique individual and opportunity. My first time meeting with you is to to understand your goals of triathlons and how I can help you achieve them. I expect my clients to take ownership in their training, just as I take ownership in listening, developing a training plan and coaching them. Communication: I have several different plans with various levels of communication with me. I encourage both individual training sessions but also training as a group and fostering a supportive multisport community!
