Rebecca is a running & multisport coach. She earned her Master’s degree in exercise physiology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her Ph.D. in exercise science from the University of Cape Town. Now based in Greensboro, North Carolina, she specializes in programs designed for runners, trail ultrarunners, and and multisport athletes (adventure racing & SwimRun), as well as monitoring training load for all her athletes.
Rebecca has a passion getting people involved in sport, as it provides people with a community, a healthy lifestyle, and realistic goals that provide life-long benefits. Together with this healthy lifestyle comes a healthy diet, and, as with everything, science is always at the core. She takes great pride in helping you push things one step further, by encouraging and helping you with your nutrition management, while training and racing. Aside from her impressive academic background, Rebecca’s ability to understand people’s needs and wants first-hand, through various experiences, is what truly makes her stand out. Her work essence is unique in its harmonious balance between friendliness and formalities. Furthermore, although she adopts a serious approach to setting and achieving goals, she continues to make herself approachable, in a way that creates a serious yet nurturing environment.
