I have a straight-forward philosophy about triathlon and other absurd pastimes, i.e., life: learn and have fun. If you're serious about learning about triathlon and yourself and want to have fun while you do it then I'm the type of coach you're looking for.
As a teacher (I'm more a teacher than whistle and stop-watch kind
of coach) and an athlete I thrive on interaction and shared learning experiences.
I learn from the best in order to be the best and I pass along the knowledge
I gain to my athletes. In the past year, for example, I've undertaken formal
study with USA Triathlon,
USA Cycling and Joe
Friel. I've also spent nearly a month training with elite athletes, coaches
and students of triathlon Gordon
"Gordo" Byrn and Clas
Bjorling. You can read about some of my cross country triathlon adventure
with the pros at InsideTriathlon.com.
I've been competing in triathlon for six years and had success as an athlete
at both short and long course racing (10:12 Ironman Canada, 2003). I've also
had my fair share of missteps and mishaps which are always great learning opportunities.
I enjoy working with a wide variety of athletes -- from a fifty year-old female
attempting her first sprint tri, to an elite age grouper, to a special olympian.
Some of my athletes are local (I'm also one of the head coaches of the FreshAirSports
Team) and some are many time zones away. Regardless of whether I see them at
the track on Mondays or we connect via email and phone, my goal is always to
give my athletes timely and individualized instruction, feedback and encouragement.
