Coaching Services

I have a passion for coaching athletes (if you run or want to run you ARE an athlete).  Not only am I UESCA Ultrarunning Coaching certified and USATF level 1 certified (working towards my level 2 certification), but I also have attended/completed many other educational programs/clinics to constantly grow as a coach.  I have over 5 years coaching experience in endurance running.  I have also found that over 20 years experience as a Human Resources professional in the military has provided me with a unique set of skills applicable to coaching.  My experiences training and competing (sub-elite) as a long distance/ultra distance athlete allow me to connect to my athletes and prepare them to fulfill and complete their specific goals.  I do not use generic training plans for myself or my athletes.  Each athlete responds uniquely to different types of training stimuli and what works for one runner might not work for another.  I believe a personalized and individualized training plan is the best thing you can do for an athlete; and remaining flexible throughout a training block is important, but also trusting the process.  Staying rigid to a training plan throughout a training block will not only ruin motivation for the athlete but also can be detrimental to meeting goals.
