NOW OFFERING FULL-CIRCLE COACHING: CREATING A WELL-ROUNDED LIFE FOR ATHLETES & COACHES

I offer personal, online and group coaching for swim, bike, run training and racing. I've worked with beginners and advanced-intermediate athletes. I provide in-person coaching and consultations for local athletes and online coaching for athletes around the country. If you're ready to become a better, faster, well-rounded triathlete, here's what you can expect:

4C COACHING: MY mission is to CONNECT, CULTIVATE, CHALLENGE & CELEBRATE my team. We actively create a CONNECTion between athlete and coach to generate the best performance in training and races. We CULTIVATE optimism, growth and grace for every facet of your life. Together, we’ll face the CHALLENGE to be and do more than you ever thought you could and we’ll CELEBRATE the milestones you achieve and obstacles you overcome in sport and in life.

4G TRAINING: What is 4G? It's GUSTO + GUMPTION + GRUEL + GRACE. It's worked it's way into my coaching and training philosophy. Some days you need GUSTO: enjoyment or vigor in doing something; zest; or GUMPTION: spirited initiative, courage or common sense. You may have to face the GRUEL: an experience that's exhausting and punishing and give yourself GRACE: courteous goodwill, forgiveness and ease. It's likely that you'll face these in a race or in daily life. I design your plan around the 4G philosophy to help you succeed.

4P APPROACH: Personalization. Pace. Preparation. Potential. I'll meet you right where you are to help you get started on your next goal. My purpose as your coach is to help you make the next right step - and see you through every step of the way. We'll work together as a team to reach your potential.  I look forward to getting to know you and understanding what drives you and can tailor your plan to fit your motivation.  Whether you're interested in trying your first sprint or working on your next ironman; whether you're wanting a just-finish program or your first podium finish - we'll create a partnership to reach your athletic goals by training smart, having fun and being efficient with your time. Plus, one of my greatest strengths is preparation and planning and I want to pass that on to you. We will work diligently to have you mentally and physically ready for every event. I'll provide numerous tools to help you train smarter and I offer a structured, customized program to fit your specific needs.

MORE ABOUT BETH ANDREW:

I have been a USA Triathlon Certified coach for almost ten years. I became a Level I Coach in 2010 and gained my Level II Endurance certification in 2017. I am trained in exercise physiology, triathlon specific training techniques and periodization and planning.  In the past seven years I’ve coached 20+ athletes on my personal roster to multiple sprint and international distance races, 12 iron-distance races and 15 half-iron distance races. Seven of those athletes were newcomers to long-course and ultra-distance triathlon.   Since 2010, I’ve been a volunteer coach for the YDubTriClub and have coached 10-20 members on that team to sprint and international distance finishes.

A life-long runner, I became a triathlete in 2008. Since then, I have competed in 50+ sprint, international, half-iron and iron distance triathlons. I am a certified SPINNING™ and Pilates instructor for New Hanover Regional Medical Center's employee fit center and a coach for the YWCA Triathlon Club.

As your coach, I'll meet you right where you are to help you get started on your next goal. My purpose is to help you take the next right step - and see you through every step of the way. We'll work together as a team to reach your potential.

Our training and racing motto is 4G: Gusto, Gumption, Gruel and Grace. I integrate 4C into my coaching: CONNECT, CULTIVATE, CHALLENGE & CELEBRATE. I want to connect with each athlete.  I want to cultivate optimism and growth and grace. I want to challenge you to be and do more than you ever thought you could! And, I want to celebrate you every step of the way.

ALL ATHLETES RECEIVE:

• A Yearly or Key Event Plan: An annual training plan within 30 days of your start date. It will be based on your prime races and events and goals. That means all of your workouts will be loaded into your Training Peaks calendar and you will be able to see them all – from now until December 2020 (or until the end of your season).  From the start you will be able to see the outline of your entire year. You’ll be able to see the training blocks.  You will be able to plan ahead for big weekends.  It is a dynamic plan that is likely to change as you add events or travel or if you face injury or life stressors.  However, you will be able to see the big picture for 2020.

• Weekly Progress Reports: Feedback that is subjective (based on your post activity comments and weekly wrap-up) and objective (based on your paces, power progression and skills). It will typically be an email, but may also be followed up with a phone call, text or video chat.

• Weekly Contact via the Coach's Circle. The Coach’s Circle is a team newsletter that highlights current articles to read, celebrates athlete achievements and provides weekly tips and how-tos.

• Access to team web meetings every two months. These video chats will provide specific education or tips and tricks and time for Athlete Q&A.

PLUS, THIS YEAR, THERE ARE TWO SQUAD PACKAGES TO CHOOSE FROM:

PREMIUM level coaching provides the most comprehensive coaching for the Full-Circle athlete. It offers customized plan for your race or event, plus, it sets you up with the most coach-to-athlete communication. This plan is perfect for a first-time triathlete or those who want to challenge past results. This plan features unlimited adaptations to your plan, increased connection via email/text/Zoom meetings and free 1:1 private sessions.

STANDARD level coaching is perfect for an experienced or self-sufficient athlete who wants a standard plan specific to an event with feedback from a coach. Your plan is designed for your calendar and preferred training method (pace/heart rate/power) but minimizes coach communication and limits adaptations to the original calendar.
