2015 USASA SBX Year-End Re-Cap

While my goal for this year was the same as the past few (win Gold at Nationals), I had a little more incentive to succeed, as a Gold in April would have made it 3 in a row.

Lined Up for Time Trials

Leading up to Nat’s, I had won 5 Rocky Mountain Series regional races where I was often racing against younger age group competitors.  I was riding really well and had consistent, strong starts throughout the year.

A Standard of Excellence

While attending the USSA Level 300 Coaches Symposium last weekend I had the great privilege to visit 2 renowned training facilities; the USSA Center of Excellence in Park City and Gym Jones in Salt Lake City.

Client Success Story

Before relating one of my client’s success stories, I want to describe a few standards I follow when training and working with people:

-     It’s my experience that no matter how great you perform in the gym, none of that matters if your improved strength, endurance, etc. does not translate to results outside of the gym.

-     I also believe that one’s overall health and wellbeing are just as important as their sport specific goals and achievements.  You should look and be (inside and out) a real example of fitness, health and athleticism.

Both these ideas match with my business mission:

Develop/administer effective, creative, specific and safe exercise programs/training sessions to help my clients achieve their personal health/fitness, athletic performance and competition goals.

Product Reviews and Recommendations #2

My last product review post mostly covered snow gear with the exception of GenerationUCAN, which I use in the gym and on the trails year round.  I’m a little over 4 months through my off-snow training and have been using some new gym gear for the duration.  As mentioned in the last product post I’m not under any contract to promote for these companies.  I actually wear this apparel because of function, comfort and they hold up under extreme abuse during training sessions.  By sharing this info, my hope is you can also have an improved exercise experience by using some or all of the items.
