Coaching Philosophy
Coaches come in all shapes, sizes and temperaments and it is vital to find a coach that meshes with your personality and particular style of training. Here’s what we are striving for as coaches:
- Someone who can help athletes balance training with family and work commitments.
- Someone who understands what it means to go from couch potato to competitive Age Grouper.
- Someone who values “bottom up training” then shifts to more quality over quantity.
- Someone who can help map out a smart, strategic plan to get athletes to A races strong and healthy.
- Someone who has many years of life experience, have been coached ourselves, have solid short and long course racing experience, and someone who is developing a track record with a variety of age groupers.
- Someone with good running, cycling, and swimming knowledge.
- Someone who is not a “dictator”. We are very flexible interpersonally and good communicators. We are not a “do it because I said so” kind of coaches.
- Someone who cares. We are available and involved. We celebrate your achievements.
- Someone who will provide value for the dollar but may not be “cheap”.
- Someone who’s going to manage “the big picture” (macro) for the athlete, but can also help with details and microanalysis.
- Someone who believes in consistency via injury prevention and appropriate programming.
- Someone who is giving back to the community.
