| Crossing the finish 3rd overall! |
Being an athlete my entire life and having influential coaches has shaped my own philosophy in life. They not only taught me about the art of competing, but also life experiences. Their impact developed in me a passion to become an effective coach, to help others achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
I am committed to getting you to the starting line of your next event in your best physical and mental shape, while avoiding injury. With my knowledge, experience, and passion, we will develop a plan specifically for you, implementing up-to-date techniques, testing, and training procedures in all aspects of cross training.
Personal Accomplishment and Goals:
I have coached many athletes ranging in ages 3-70. These athletes participated in many sports such as soccer, high school track and field, and youth & adult triathlon. I have trained triathletes in every distance from sprint to full iron-distance races. Currently, I am a Certified Triathlon coach at my local YMCA and have held positions such as the head coach of the YMCA’s Adult Triathlon, Half marathon, Endurance Training groups, and Youth Triathlon Summer Camp. I am also the 2011 YMCA Employee of the Year.
Using my experience as an athlete in soccer, basketball, and track in high school, and pole-vaulting for the Indiana University Track and Field Team, I have recently become a successful elite triathlete. I have completed in all distances from sprint to Ironman, including multiple podium finishes overall and regular age group wins. I would like to continue to pursue a career as a professional triathlete in the coming years.
I hope to continue to use my knowledge and experience in the sport of triathlon to help you reach your own personal goals. I will continue to learn and incorporate as much new knowledge and education this area has to offer.
