I wanted to drop a quick note about the support and outstanding coaching I received, from Court, during my IM yesterday in Tempe.
As you may know, I was nursing a broken clavicle back to health all summer and was unable to train as I normally would. During the entire summer Court provided coaching plans that were adapted to my situation. She provided emotional, and mental support to me when I was really discouraged and questioned my ability to jump back in on time for Tempe.
As you are aware, we raced Tempe together. I doubted my ability to finish but ended up with finish times close to my last race 2 years ago. This is entirely due to Court’s encouragement and her thorough preparation, of me, for race day. I followed her race strategy without diversion. I followed her nutrition and hydration plan for race day to a Tee. I implemented her plan for the bike, run, and swim sections of the course without question. When I finished the race I felt great and so very accomplished.
You have a great coach in Courtney and I’m so very glad to be continuing with her, as my coach, for the 2016-2017 season. She has a lot of heart and more than that has become a very knowledge coach over the years. Because she works well with others she has a great sense of how best to support each athlete individually.
I have so appreciated her and look forward to a great upcoming season!
