When I was looking for a coach I knew I wanted someone who’s been “there”. That “there” is an individual journey, but everyone has it. I was wanting to go from a daily runner to being an ultramarathon finisher. With that comes a special  training schedule. Coach Steve took me from running in the grey to a laser focused, tack sharp training plan. What made me take this plan so seriously was that Coach Steve has himself been “there”. His knowledge of what is needed, what’s going to be required the day of the race, and all around positive and encouraging feedback made his coaching next level. His concise and effective  approach was just what I needed. His calls and touch bases were something I really appreciated. It helped keep my mind in the right place during training and allowed me to express my thoughts and emotions about where I’m at physically and mentally leading up towards race day. Then on race day, Coach Steve was invested, he would shoot out text of encouragement and strategy. Beyond having Coach Steve create a training plan, he was in my corner. I can not express enough how great of a coach and how worthwhile his coaching experience is.
