CTS Senior Coach – Specializes In Ultrarunning Coaching

 

“I see that the blend and boundary of both physiology and psychology are where the rubber meets the road.  I bring mental skills to the forefront as not just an add-on but critical component to overall performance and well-being!”

 

Coach Bio:

I am an adventure athlete that is as happy on the track as I am on a trail in the mountains. Running anything from an 800 around the oval to a hundred miles at high elevations. I have a long history playing and teaching in the mountains –rock-climbing, mountaineering, skiing, backpacking. This love eventually lead me to coaching.  I coach in addition to a career as a therapist and mental performance consultant because I am passionate about seeing people push their limits and developing the tools that allow them to go further than they imagined.
