ESCI Level 1About
My background is strong in the endurance sports world including 25 years competitive experience competing in endurance sports, particularly triathlon, running, and some cycling. I started competing in triathlon in 2007 as a novice after collegiate running, moving up the ranks racing in the elite-amateur division in triathlon. I still run competitive and I began running when I was just 12 years old on a consistent basis. All of my coaching is detailed and based on the individual, which includes an extensive athlete assessment, combined with years of experience and coupled with knowledge to help you reach your goals. Throughout the duration of your training we will meet and talk in person or virtually for performance and technical analysis. With this comes knowing my clients inside and outside the sport rather than just giving them a plan. I am more a of a hands on coach and getting to know my clients through their training sessions and feedback. Communication is the key between the coach and the athlete to reaching goals and staying injury free. My commitment to you is to do all I can to help you reach your goals. If you are interested in working together please message me and we will promptly set up a time to talk or go ahead get on my calendar here. I am looking forward to hearing from you and helping you cross the finish line. QualificationsHead Coach of Fly Tri Racing.
