”The winner is not just the one who finishes first, but the one who doesn’t quit when things get tough.” ~Coach Bree Soileau
Coaching Philosophy:
It is such an honor and blessing to be called a coach. To make sure I am truly helping my athletes succeed, I remain a student of the sport and read just about anything I can get my hands on. Leaders should be learners. I believe that coaches should make the training environment a fun one. Because, c’mon, if it’s not fun, why even do it? Joy is contagious and this world needs more of it. If I can spread joy through triathlon, my job is complete.
