Choose Growth

I’m going to ask you to trust yourself, to be open to new approaches, and to be willing to embrace discomfort on all levels. My mantra is “choose growth” because it allows us to look at every obstacle as an opportunity. Every time you’re faced with a new challenge, you have a chance to unlock a new level of your talent. Barriers have never been broken by following the path of least resistance.

Athletes that work best with me have a process-driven mindset and aren’t afraid to dive into their “why”. We’ll embrace high outcome goals, set challenging performance standards, but understand that your process defines your success. What you think, say, and do with consistency creates your future.

My job is to align your goals with the data and metrics that support physical achievement, but I’m going to challenge you to connect that with what you feel in your body. Consistency and systemized progression will create a foundation of speed and endurance. Then with those systems in place, the best performances come when you’re willing to trust your body and risk failure for a success you wouldn’t have been able to achieve otherwise.

As an athlete, I’ve completed 8 Ironman races including Kona, 18 Ironman 70.3 races, and many Olympic and Sprint distance races along the way. My best performances have come when I’ve completely surrendered to the moment. Knowing the strategic recipe for success is my baseline. Trusting the consistency and depth of my training takes me a step further. Letting go and being free to completely empty my tank is what sets me apart.

You’ll feel my support the most when you’re open to pushing through previously perceived limits or old ways of doing things that haven’t gotten you the results you’re capable of. You’ll know that embracing your wholeness is what makes you limitless. You can be brave and afraid, confident and uncertain, weak and a warrior. It’s not about overcoming the darkness, it’s about integrating it.

Laura is an outstanding coach who I'd recommend to anyone who desires to learn, grow and improve. She's a delight to work with and does a great job balancing accountability with helping me find "little wins" in my training sessions. She's an athlete and a coach I respect for her knowledge, commitment to excellence and unrelenting determination. She's made me a better and more complete triathlete in our time together by helping me learn to listen to what my body is telling me and react appropriately (something I had zero of when we met). She also helped me recover from a 20+ month hamstring injury and keep finding positives when progress was slow.

Laura is an amazing coach and all-around great person. She has coached me to a significant 70.3 PR but what I value more is the approach she takes and her passion for helping me achieve my goals. I really appreciate Laura’s ability to deal with my personality, style, and quirks to create a plan that works best for me and not force a certain style or approach based on what has worked for another athlete. She has a ton of experience, is very knowledgeable and has helped me develop skills to improve as an athlete and that also carry over to life outside of the sport.

I had worked with several coaches before Laura and not one of them even closely compares to what she brings to the table. Her level of expertise and passion for helping her athletes succeed is unmatched ... She is also an insanely talented athlete herself so her wisdom comes from years of her own trial and error. Laura was the reason I qualified for Kona in my first Ironman and continue to podium at almost every race I compete in. If you want to WIN in this sport and are looking for someone who can create the roadmap to get there, partnering with Laura is a no brainer.

Growing up playing team sports, I was used to having teammates. In triathlon, Laura becomes your team (along with her other athletes). Her communication and responsiveness is top notch. Her knowledge of the sport is everything an athlete could need … Working with Laura doesn’t stop with your training plan; when life throws you a curveball, she’s there to listen and help you get back on track.
