Outdoor • Endurance • Mountain • Strength • Mindset
Education-led coaching for outdoor and endurance athletes who want to build strength, capability, and confidence in their sport, training, and themselves.
ABOUT THIS COACHING
I help athletes develop the knowledge, structure, and mindset needed to safely and confidently pursue demanding physical goals in the mountains, outdoors, and athletic pursuits.
My work blends athletic coaching, health education, sports science, and real-world experience in mountain and outdoor settings to help you move beyond simply following a training plan, and into understanding how to train, how to adapt, and how to make better decisions as an athlete.
This is education-led coaching.
You won’t just be told what to do.
You’ll learn why your training is structured the way it is, how to adjust it when life, recovery, or fatigue changes, and how to become a more capable and self-aware athlete over time.
At the core of this work is a simple principle:
Before you can conquer a mountain, race, or goal, you first learn to understand and conquer yourself.
WHO I WORK WITH
I work with outdoor athletes and performance-focused individuals at all levels, from beginners to experienced athletes.
Athletes I’ve worked with include:
• Mountaineers and hikers
• Climbers
• Skiers and backcountry athletes
• Endurance athletes (ultra, trail, cycling, triathlon)
• Swimmers
• Aerial and movement-based athletes
• Strength athletes (powerlifting, strongman)
• Recreational athletes building consistency and capability
• Athletes returning from injury or rebuilding after setbacks
Whether your goal is a summit, race, athletic objective, outdoor adventure, or simply feeling stronger and more capable in your body, this coaching is designed to meet you where you are and build from there.

RETURN TO SPORT & ATHLETE REBUILDING
Many athletes come to this coaching during periods of transition. Whether returning from injury, rebuilding consistency after burnout, or regaining confidence after time away from training. In these cases, the focus shifts toward structured progression, capacity rebuilding, and restoring trust in both the body and the training process.
With a background in health education, athletic coaching, and medical experience, I understand how complex this phase can feel.
While I do not replace a physician, physical therapist, or athletic trainer, I help athletes bridge the gap between rehab and performance by rebuilding strength, capacity, confidence, and clarity in a structured and progressive way.
HOW COACHING WORKS
Individualized coaching based on what the athlete actually needs.
It is a collaborative coaching relationship built around education, communication, and individualized development.
Initial Athlete Consultation
We begin with a 60-minute consultation to understand your goals, training history, lifestyle, current capacity, and the demands of your objective. This gives me the context needed to build an individualized approach around your actual life, not an ideal training scenario.
Individualized Training Plan
My training is built around your goals, experience, environment, schedule, and current capacity. Programming may include strength, endurance, mobility, sport-specific preparation, recovery, and objective-specific preparation as appropriate.
Training is delivered through TrainingPeaks and adjusted as needed based on training feedback, performance, recovery, and real-world demands.
Coaching & Communication
Coaching support is individualized to the athlete. Depending on your goals, experience, and needs, coaching may include scheduled video sessions, ongoing communication, training review, and adjustments to your plan. Some athletes benefit from frequent interaction and problem-solving; others primarily need a well-structured plan with support when questions arise.
The goal is to provide the level of coaching support that is actually useful, not unnecessary meetings for the sake of having them.
Athlete Education & Development
You will learn how to:
- structure training and recovery
- interpret your body’s feedback
- manage effort and pacing
- fuel for performance
- adapt training to changing circumstances
- make informed decisions as an athlete
The goal is not dependency.
The goal is capability.
