The time for outdoor workouts is upon us! SBR Coaching has started its summer practice programs. The summer schedule includes a total of 16 individual workout opportunities per week. We are providing Tuesday Night Brick workouts, BASEC TRX-Strength Training classes, Open Water Swimming, Pool Master's programs, Performance Based Cycling practices and our FASTER running program. All workouts are coached workouts with a progressive design. Skills and techniques will continually be refined. But to us, that's standard. What's new, is that now we are providing additional incentives on hitting your target workouts.
Five and a half years ago I walked away from a business. One of the toughest decisions I have made in my professional career. I was an integral part in that business in developing and creating it from the ground up for the three years leading up to that date I walked away. At that moment and time, my personal and business goals had been changing and I was looking to go a new direction and find something to focus my creative juices to.
Over the years, each athlete that I encounter at a coaching level has some sort of goal to become faster. We all have internal goals to become a little stronger and faster than our training partner (even if it’s just for one bike ride or run race). But how do we do that? Many different theories are out there. Each are good, however understanding when to use them, how to use them and what the output will be on the other side of training is very important.
Our muscles push and pull us in every direction every second of the day. This push and pull mechanism in our bodies is a combination of myofascia – which is the inseparable nature of muscle tissue (myo) and its accompanying connective tissue (fascia). Our body is a highly operative and complicated network of myofascial ‘trains’.

Growing up out in the country and on the farm, it was long days cutting wood, cold nights doing chores, and long Saturdays of bailing hay. It was tough work, but it has now allowed me to appreciate the empowerment and gratitude you get from a days hard work.
Last year I had the opportunity to go to Italy with 10 other athletes for SBR’s Destination Trip for 2010. We all took a 10-day vacation and ran the Florence Marathon. Even though marathon day was cold, rainy and windy, we stayed in an 800 year old villa on the Tuscany hillside. It was an awesome experience.
It's been close to 5 years since our community started...so how have SBR athletes accomplished their goals over the years?
My entire career has been a study of bodies in motion – even before it became common in athletics. To a large degree, it is still an unconventional approach.
We believe the role of a coach is to create the right conditions for learning to happen and find ways to motivate the athletes.
