Ironman U Coaching Profile

Background

10 years ago I weighed 60 pounds more and could barely finish a 5k. I am not the most gifted athlete by any means, but I learned to swim and develop my skills in all three disciplines to become as efficient as possible with what I have to work with. I worked my way up from sprints and eventually completing the Ironman distance in 2013. Currently, I have completed 4 Ironmans and numerous sprints, olympic and half-iron distance events. I have been trained under two very good coaches during that time and have absorbed as much information from them as possible. I continue to read and develop my knowledge in the sport in order to stay on top of the methods that work best.

Philosophy

I am very passionate about the sport of triathlon. It has given so much in my life that I want to be able to give that back and share it with others.  I love working with new athletes and teaching them about the sport. I believe that seeing someone you helped cross the finish line would be an amazing experience.

I like developing a good line of communication with athletes so that I can better understand their needs. It is a two-way street and I want to provide them with the best coaching experience I can.
