Being an IRONMAN Certified Coach is an honor that I consider to be scared and special. Before becoming a triathlon coach, I have been a nationally certified personal trainer for over 30 years. I worked with people from all aspects of life, physical capabilities, and age ranges. My educational background gives me a strong advantage in knowing how the human body works and my knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology allows me to coach my athletes in a safe, scientific way to be able to avoid injuries and to push safely in order to advance.

As an IRONMAN Certified Triathlon Coach, I design all my Strength and Conditioning programs to fit each athlete based on their fitness level and areas of improvement. I lead by example by staying at the top of my game physically and mentally by competing in triathlons, trail running and various endurance events.

​

Triathlon training and racing is challenging. My approach to coaching and racing stems from my belief in the human spirit’s ability to conquer obstacles and difficulties no matter how hard. I can sum up my coaching philosophy in a few words. I believe:

​

That hard work, consistency, and persistence will pay off at the end.

Chasing Exellence in everything we do, no matter how hard the task.

Perseverance is the ability to never give up, even if we fail. We get up and continue regardless of the outcome.

Training should mimic racing. We train hard so we can race hard.

Nutrition is one of the building blocks of a strong athlete. Another is strength training.

Flexibility, yoga, or any form of flexibility modality is crucial for injury prevention.

Recovery is an integral part of training and it should be treated as such.

Progression and periodization is a smart strategy that takes into account an athlete’s well-being and longevity in this uniquely beautiful sport.

Advancement and improvement can only come with training at a higher level.

Setting goals that are SMART: Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely.

I will give you 100% of my time, knowledge, experience, encouragement, and guidance. The rest is up to you!
