Why should I hire a coach?

We have so much information available to us these days, TV, magazines, the Internet. Anyone can write a program, call themselves an "expert" in strength or triathlon racing. However, when choosing a coach I believe that athletes need to establish trust and that the coach needs to believe in the athlete in order to create a successful package. Athletes should interview potential candidates for the job, the same way anyone would expect to interview for any new job. I try to educate my athletes so that they in turn can make correct choices when it comes to training and racing. I also like to work with my athletes to build their confidence in the sport. My hopes are to create a better-educated athlete, an athlete who can make solid decisions about what is right for their body. Each client is unique and requires different training stressors to achieve an overall stronger, more powerful, and successful racing season! My goal as a coach is to make sure that my athletes are successful, injury free, have fun and continue training well into the future.
