Michael - Level 1 Coach

mike@playtri.com

Always in competitive sports, Mike's past athletic experience ranges from playing West Texas football, to collegiate rugby at Texas A&M, onto playing international professional rugby in South Africa. His first experience with triathlon was lying on his couch watching the Kona coverage. He knew immediately that one day…he would be an Ironman.

A year and a half later and 70 pounds lighter, Mike reached his goal running across the finish line at Ironman Coeur d'Alene. After fully grasping what Ironman gave back to his life and the effect that it had on those surrounding the sport, his new focus in life is to help others reach their goals as he did his.

Not only in the water, on the bike, or on the ground, but by promoting a balanced, healthy and happy lifestyle that dares one to push past their boundaries and achieve their own level of greatness.

When Mike is not training, racing or coaching, he spends his time with his wife, son and two dogs in Colleyville, TX.
