My Coaching Approach

Coach Mike is a former USAT Elite and a Certified Ironman U, USA Triathlon (Long Course Specialty), USA Cycling, and USA Track and Field Coach with over 11 years of Coaching experience.

​

I coach small numbers so we can go deep into:

​

1.  Your physical strength and injury history

2.  Your training data and performance patterns

3.  Your schedule, stress, and recovery reality

4.  Your mindset and long term goals

​

What is my process?

​

1.  Deep Onboarding

​

I look at your training history, your swim, bike and run data, injury and mobility limitations, bike fit and movement patterns, and your lifestyle and schedule.  Above all you will find accountability and purposeful training.  You will leann that this is coaching built for long term development, not just your next race.

​

2.  A Clear Roadmap

​

In your first month you will see early wins in power and pace, pain reduction through sport specific mobility, rehab and strength, better pacing and execution, a. clear understanding of your zones, how your body responds, and your training purpose.

​

3.  Weekly Adjustment

​

This is not static planning.  Training evolves every week based on data trends, fatigue levels, life stress, injury signals, and race timeline.  This is very hands on and athlete focused.

​

4.  Teaching You the System

​

My goal isn't just to coach you. It is to help you understand your training so you become smarter and more confident as an athlete.

​

You will learn how and when to adjust pacing, how to manager recovery more efficiently, how to spot injury warning signs, how periodization works, all the way to nutrition and race planning.
