    I have known Jenny Smith for nearly 15 years as a friend, personal coach, U19/HS junior program manager, and coach to my two teenage sons.  While many coaches can program heart rate, watts, and many other metrics into a training plan, few take the time to provide a multi-dimensional approach to support their athletes.  Jenny’s coaching style is flexible, nurturing, and approachable, and she comes from a place of genuinely wanting her athletes to be their best for their own sake – not personal ego.  As both an athlete and a coach, Jenny is always learning ways to take athletic performance to the next level in a way that fits well with the rest of what life demands of us.

    I have enjoyed the privilege of calling Brian Smith a competitor, a training partner, and a friend for more than two decades. Brian is meticulous, thorough, and tenacious; you have to be able to compete at the elite level in the highly technical disciplines of mountain biking, triathlon, and ski mountaineering, where fitness alone will only get you so far. Brian is the consummate endurance athlete and is among a select and highly skilled cohort that specializes in imparting his years of experience and success to athletes of all abilities and from all walks of life.

    I've worked with Jenny for several years and have seen year over year improvements with little increase in my training volume. She is insightful, flexible, responsive and very relatable. Jenny has made a personalized training plan within the constraints of my family, work and various injuries, and has prepared me well for all of my races. I have improved tremendously and am planning for races that I thought were above my capabilities a few years ago. Jenny is a passionate athlete who is fun to work with and I feel lucky to have found her.

    Jennifer Smith: you are an excellent coach and an amazing person. I had a great year and could not have gotten through without you. Thank you. You had me on podiums more than I could have ever expected and taught me how to be a better athlete and mentor.

    I had just gotten back into riding after a 20 year hiatus when I met Jenny. My mountain bike skills were confined to riding on gravel roads. Jenny inspired me to learn again, exceed my own expectations, and take on new challenges. I greatly improved my technical mountain bike skills under her guidance and built up my endurance. This past season she coached me, a non swimmer and non runner, to finish an Ironman.  Her daily sessions are fun and challenging. She is flexible with my constantly changing work and parenting schedules and is always checking in. She quickly adapts and modifies activity when injuries occur to keep fitness as high as possible during recovery.  She is both a motivation and an inspiration.
