About Me

With a deep passion for multisport, health, and wellness, I thrive on helping athletes unlock their full potential. Having competed in all distances of triathlon while balancing work and family life, I understand the challenges athletes face and use this experience to offer a truly personalized coaching journey. My approach blends proven coaching techniques with firsthand knowledge, ensuring an intimate and tailored experience for each athlete. I believe that training and racing should be both enjoyable and fulfilling, yet I encourage a competitive spirit and the desire to push beyond limits. Over the years, I've successfully coached athletes to achieve their first 70.3 and Ironman races, with several qualifying for the 70.3 World Championships, ITU Duathlon World Championships, and Xterra World Championships. My goal is to make every athlete’s journey a rewarding and transformative experience.

Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is centered around the belief that success in multisport comes from a balance of enjoyment, personal growth, and pushing one’s limits. I am committed to fostering a positive and empowering environment where athletes not only achieve their performance goals but also grow in confidence and resilience. I believe in a personalized approach to coaching, understanding that every athlete’s journey is unique. My own experience balancing triathlon, work, and family life has shaped how I coach, offering athletes the guidance they need to thrive both in sport and in life. By blending structured training with an emphasis on fun and well-being, I encourage athletes to embrace a competitive spirit while staying grounded in the joy of the process. Ultimately, my goal is to support each athlete in becoming the best version of themselves, both on and off the racecourse, while ensuring that the pursuit of athletic excellence is a rewarding and fulfilling journey.
