Why do you instruct?
Because I love to race and train too! I myself personally value the benefits of recovery. Massage and PROPER stretching techniques are recovery. Recovery is part of training.
Why do you work for Vision Quest Coaching?
Because it’s the one place where I’m surrounded by coaches, colleagues, athletes that posses just as must enthusiasm, integrity, and curiosity for sport. Its fun, challenging, rewarding, training with others that push you, keep you honest and help keep you focused.
