PPD Beach2Battleship Coaching Partners:
- Tri Coach Carolina - About Coach Ron - An experienced triathlete, I completed 6 Ironman races, qualified for USAT Nationals and am a certified USAT Coach. Much of my coaching philosophy comes from personal experience and working with my own coach who has raced professionally and qualified many athletes for Kona and Clearwater.
Having a young family of my own, I know the challenges of trying to find balance between the demands of life while maximizing time to train.
My role is to help guide you by developing a schedule that prioritizes workouts while making training time as efficient and fun as possible. I work with athletes of all levels and distances who are excited to learn more about triathlon and committed to reaching their potential given their particular life situation.
