Sara Crawford

Nitro Triathlon Coaching LLC

I employ a collaborative coaching style. I believe there needs to be a good balance in the athlete's life and triathlon training is only a part of that life. That said, there is a certain amount of discipline and dedication required to meet your potential. I work with the athlete to fit the training they need into an already busy schedule on a one-on one basis as everyone's needs are different. I am committed to my athletes and expect them to be committed to their training.
