Steve's coaching philosophy is based on keeping every aspect of training and racing as simple as possible. With many moving parts to triathlon, having a coach that keeps you from being overwhelmed is essential. Steve's forte is addressing mechanical and psychological road blocks that limit the athlete's potential. Steve coaches 10-15 sessions per week. Through the athlete's feedback and fitness evaluations, Steve develops a sound plan that addresses the athletes's strengths and weakness.
