We believe that in order to be great coaches, we have to push you when you need pushing, hold you back when you need holding back and cheer you every step of the way.
What also sets us apart is that we believe our athletes (1:1 & team) need to follow the 6 pillars we've set out.
The 6 pillars are:
Mindset
Lifestyle
Injury prevention & strength
Daily fueling
Race day fueling
Endurance training
(not in any particular order)
Also, we're in it for the long haul. We've been coaching and racing triathlon for 14 years now. From owning a triathlon training studio and race team, to now working remote for our athletes. We love what we do and it shows.
With over 20 years of coaching experience and over 30 years as a competitive swimmer, triathlete and runner, I know what it takes to achieve goals as an athlete. Helping my clients reach the heights they are truly capable of is one of my biggest passions in life.
It is second only to my fantastic husband, two adorable sons, and my beloved Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
Over the years, I've worked with many triathletes, runners, and ultra athletes, providing training plans, sports nutrition, and endurance coaching.
I earned both a BS and MS degree in Exercise Physiology and sports nutrition. I hold certifications in triathlon, run and swim coaching. In addition, I've worked as a strength coach and cycling instructor. I hold the prestigious 2 year post graduate diploma from the International Olympic Committee in exercise physiology and sports nutrition, and I am a certified Sports Nutritionist with the ISSN.
I've worked with age group athletes up through Olympians and professional triathletes. From first-time Ironman to qualifying for Kona. From first-time marathon, to a BQ.
I swam Division 1 at Miami University (butterfly). I've raced Ironman for over 15 years, and held the honor of being a previous 5k open water national champion. Unfortunately due to a genetic condition that impacts my connective tissue, I can't be as competitive as I once was. But that doesn't stop me from giving it my all, and helping my athletes achieve their dream goals.
I believe it takes these three things to be successful: effort, attitude and consistency. If you’re willing to put forward these three things, I look forward to working with you.
