Life is an Endurance Sport
Train with purpose. Recover with intention. Perform for the long run.
Get to Know Me
I’ve been immersed in endurance sports most of my life, and in 2002, I started racing seriously. Like many athletes, I pushed hard, and paid the price with injuries. A major one in 2006 forced me to stop, reflect, and rethink everything. That experience shaped how I coach today. I believe athletes thrive when training supports the whole person, not just performance goals. My focus is on recovery, longevity, and mental well-being, so you can keep doing what you love without burning out.
Coaching Solutions
Athlete Coaching
Whether you're chasing a personal best or building your foundation, I offer private coaching, technique sessions, and training plans to support your performance, recovery, and well-being every step of the way.
Injury Coaching
My approach to injury coaching is the same as how I coach performance, it’s always centered on the whole person. I work with you to uncover the root cause, guide your recovery, and build a plan that helps prevent future injuries.
Strength Coaching
Whether you're building strength, boosting endurance, or supporting overall performance, I create strength programs that align with your training plan. Each one is periodized, purposeful, and tailored to your goals.
What you can expect
My Approach
I coach with a focus on the whole person, not just performance. That means addressing root causes, supporting mental well-being, and building long-term athletic resilience with smart training and constant communication.
How I Coach
I take a thoughtful, data-driven, and personal approach. From heart rate zones to mental mindset, I coach athletes with longevity, clarity, and consistent support at the core of everything we do.
What Sets Me Apart
I look deeper. Where others focus on output, I prioritize long-term health, energy management, and mental resilience, because real progress lasts. My one-on-one support ensures you're never left to figure it out alone.

Why It Works
This approach works because it's human. By focusing on both data and the person behind it, I help athletes stay healthy, energized, and motivated, not just for a season, but for life.
What You Can Expect
You can expect a coaching experience that’s personal, consistent, and built for the long haul. I focus on mental and physical well-being, energy management, and always being there when you need guidance.
Why I Coach This Way
I’ve seen the cost of burnout and one-size-fits-all plans. That’s why I coach with a long-term, whole-person mindset, so you can thrive in sport and in life, with support that doesn’t run out.
