“I reached out to GRIT Endurance in the fall of 2023. I was an endurance athlete in the early 2000's then took a number of years off due to injury. In 2022-2023, I attempted a return to triathlon. While I had some success, I ended up greatly frustrated by a number of factors. A lot had changed in the years I'd been away! There were also physical limitations due to injury that I didn't have the knowledge to combat on my own. After a few conversations with the head coach, I was referred to their swim specialist, Jason. I signed on for swim-specific coaching about 4 months ago and have seen drastic improvement in a very short amount of time! Jason really took the time to understand my injuries and ensure my assigned workouts were both achievable and sustainable. His methodical approach to swim training has improved my stroke, increased my endurance, and helped resolve some of the recurring issues that had been holding me back. I can confidently say I'm a stronger, more efficient swimmer than I have ever been before. Jason is great about checking in after workouts, adjusting my schedule as needed, and providing feedback that is specific to my individual strengths / areas for improvement. The changes I am already experiencing are giving me the confidence to pursue future long-course goals that I was afraid might be out of reach. The GRIT coaches are highly professional, positive, and supportive and I'm so happy they are part of my Triathlon journey!”
