Get Faster
I’ve been a coach for over 40 years. I’ve helped pros win world championships, but most of my time is spent with dedicated age groupers like you who are committed to improving your results.
Triathlon is a complex sport of swimming, biking and running. To truly reach your potential, you must combine these disciplines with vital strength & flexibility training and solid nutritional science… along with strategic training periodization and proven race tactics.
I’ll cut through the confusion, make you more efficient and help you optimize your performance. My slogan is simple: “Proven Results. Guaranteed”. Commit to one of my training programs and I’ll make you faster…I guaranteed it.
Dave Scott taught me how to push the boundaries of what was physically and mentally possible. He is an expert in all facets of endurance training and had a massive influence on my career. He really is “The Man”!
