Coaches Notes:
Coach Nico approached me looking for help with his first 70.3 back in 2021. As a member of my Triathlon Obsessed Facebook group, he had a great race (5:36:09) by implementing suggestions from the group and not being coached by me!
I was looking for an assistant coach, and Nico’s background and life journey in recovery from alcohol connected us. I have worked with many triathletes who have used the sport of triathlon for their recovery, and I believe it is an excellent tool.
Highly organized and a quick learner, he has been able to use the Full Circle Coaching tools to become a fantastic triathlete and coach for Full Circle.
I am so grateful to have you on the TEAM as a part of Full Circle Coaching. You practice what you preach, as do all of my coaches, and the results speak for themselves!
Super proud of your most recent PR of 5:31:24 at Ironman Florida 70.3. I am excited about what’s next with you and Full Circle Coaching! You are a true rockstar coach and Triathlete!

Why did you choose FCC to help you on your triathlon/health and wellness journey?
I wanted to become a coach and Erinne had most of the things I was looking for in terms of triathlon training, a holistic approach, and business model.
What is your “A” race for this season?
Ironman 70.3 Florida, 2024
What are your BIG goals?
Complete all World Major Marathons, complete a 70.3 in each continent, complete at least one full Ironman, cycle and run epic routes and trails around the planet, help many achieve their big goals inspiring and empowering them through my journey and tools that work!
What were some of your biggest improvements in performance for each of the following? Swim, Bike, Run, and Nutrition/Health. Please include any Personal Records and Goals achieved.
Swim – In the beginning of 2024 I could barely swim due to a rotator injury. My pool swims are back at 1:46 per 100 yards and I completed the swim portion of a challenging 70.3 swim course in 40 minutes.
Bike – My cycling power, cadence, and overall consistency is excellent; and I improved my form to give me more power for the run.
Run – My run is very strong, especially considering that I am carrying more mass than in the past.
Nutrition – I have changed several of my supplements and race nutrients and continue to test and try what Erinne suggests and promotes.
All these combined allowed me to improve my 70.3 time by 5 minutes in a more challenging course than my previous 70.3.
Name 2 or 3 things that have made the biggest difference in your journey
The accountability and encouragement of the team and coaches.
Being observed by my co-workers and receiving feedback on form and other details that have helped improved my performance.
Maintaining a balanced approach: fatherhood, love life, family, work, training, nutrition, mental and spiritual health.
What excites you the most about being involved in triathlon?
Triathlon helps me create the discipline I need to stay healthy, happy, and energized. It helps me structure everything in my life and it sparks my creativity. It helps me connect to my body, the environment, other people, and the God of my understanding.
It really gives me a lot of joy in so many ways!!!
What would you say to another person who was on the fence about joining our training program?
Just do it! The best thing that can happen is that you will find a passion that will enhance your life significantly. The worst thing is that you will not like and now you can move on to other things… but you will still gain knowledge, experience and friends.
