ESCI Level 1About
My approach to coaching triathletes and IRONMAN competitors is to start with a foundation of strength and conditioning as well as mobility. Being a triathlete is not just having the endurance to go the extra mile; being an elite competitor takes strength in all areas to put your body to the ultimate test. Basics build the foundation to succeed. My educational background is in body mechanics; I have my Bachelors degree in exercise science with a focus on Physical Therapy; furthermore, I am a certified Strength and Conditioning Coach, NSCA-CSCS. Ready to take on the challenge with you!
Philosophy
Assessing the athlete both physically and mentally will give me a good understanding of where the athlete needs to be pushed. Everyone has their breaking points, but it is up to me to support them and push them as they go. There are underlying weaknesses that go under the radar; both mental and physical blocks prevent the athlete from going further. I am the key to success to unlocking those doors and breaking those barriers that have prevented the athlete from achieving their goals in the past. My ultimate approach is to understand the athlete on a physical and mental level where I am able to raise the bar as we go. Being an IRONMAN takes grit and determination beyond the average person, but most importantly it is a team effort that results in success; you cannot do it on your own.
