I grew up in Indiana, moved to Michigan for college, and have been a sports medicine specific physical therapist since 2010. I enjoy traveling, overlanding, hockey, and hope to get into moto biking in the future. I became certified initially as a triathlon coach by the ITCA in 2013, and have coached athletes of all levels and all distances. I prefer athletes who are more experienced and are willing to put in necessary money and effort to accomplish their goals. I work at a clinic that has state of the art performance testing. www.ptsportspro.com and www.thirdcoastendurance.com
I love to work with athletes who are motivated, but also are willing to reflect on their sport and learn from it. Numbers, metrics, and data is very important, but it is also important to be able to get out for workouts to seriously enjoy them, not worrying about data. I do not care for Strava. They seem to only care about money and market share. I use TrainingPeaks for coaching and I can add an expert level of technical advise for lifting and endurance sport due to my physical therapy background.
