My coaching philosophy is to work personally with each athlete to maximize performance based upon commitment and available training time. 

 

I draw upon my coaching experience, personal training background and athletic experiences, keeping in mind these 5 important parameters when working with athletes:

  • Current level of fitness.

  • Specific sport strengths and weaknesses.

  • Amount of time available to train.

  • Weekly work schedule.

  • Type of event or distance of race.
