MEET COACH KEITH

Pushing Athletes to Excel

Keith is a former pro Ironman competitor and has been coaching amateur and pro athletes for over 25 years.


Coaching means more to Keith than just writing training plans. Keith believes in individual development plans, taking into account each athlete's level of performance, goals, and schedule. He listens to his athletes, sets realistic goals, and reacts quickly to change the plan when needed. He works collaboratively to develop each client's individual competencies and hidden talents.


Keith’s coaching philosophy is to help you get the most out of your available training time. Keith doesn't believe in junk mileage or useless workouts. Keith believes every workout has a purpose and is designed to help you reach your goals. Keith always talk about "the process,” as a philosophy that emphasizes preparation and hard work over race results alone. It’s critical that the athlete understands how and why improvements are happening. That’s why Keith often tells his athletes to trust the process and the results will follow.

Don't waste your time on "canned" training programs

2020 will be my 6th season with Keith. He is an awesome tri coach because he focuses on me and my needs. There are definitely goals to reach each week and the training can be demanding. But Keith focuses on how to make me a better athlete, how to improve my mental

strength as well as my physical strength - and he pushes me just beyond where I think I can go. Keith is always available, and always willing to talk about the smallest problems and the big

ones. Keith's knowledge from his years as a pro is extremely valuable. He reviews the courses and tailors the training to match the races you will do. Don't waste your time with "canned" training programs. I use Keith because I know that he will manage my anxiety and emotions, and get me to the starting line in race condition - and with the confidence to finish the race

strong.
