It all started in 2009 when my wife came home and told me she signed up for a triathlon clinic with Jake. She asked if I had any interest in competing and at the time I was not interested. I had not participated in any sporting competition for 20+yrs (high school swim team) but as she trained with Jake I started to grow interested in the opportunity to compete again. A month or so before the triathlon she signed up for I made the decision to sign up myself. So with a month of training myself I completed my first triathlon. By the way, I did horrible, but was immediately addicted to the sport of triathlon. I later sat down for coffee with Jake, discussed my goals, and hired him as my coach. After competing so bad in my first race (coaching myself) my goal was to start placing in my age group. I feel that without Jake my goal would have taken me years instead of months.        Now that I met my first goal for year one my next goal was to compete in a 70.3 which Jake did an awesome job getting me across the finish line.  Unfortunately I did not reach my time goal of 5 hours (only off by 5min) but I did learn a valuable lesson and that is to “trust your coach, stick to the plan”.

 Jake customized my training plan to work around my busy travel schedule and consistently provided motivating feedback on my workouts. He is very knowledgeable with the anatomy and physiology of athletes and how to train to prevent injuries. We all know that injuries can occur even with the best of training plans but when they did Jake was able to diagnose and come up with ways to advance the healing without missing key workouts. I highly recommend Jake as a multisport coach.
