🚴‍♂️ **Exciting News!** 🚴‍♀️

I'm thrilled to announce that I am now taking on new athletes for professional coaching in endurance sports at CCNS! After years of focusing on scientific research during my PhD, I’m excited to transition into a more applied role, helping athletes achieve their goals with evidence-based strategies. Whether you're aiming to improve your performance, optimize your training, or just get started in endurance sports, I'm here to help guide your journey.

Let's work together to reach new heights! 🏅

Feel free to reach out if you're interested or know someone who might be.

Had an awesome opportunity to go to Canterbury School in New Milford, CT and talk about the work I have done with the Korey Stringer Institute and the Connecticut Health, Athletic and Mental Performance Center at Southern Connecticut State University College of Health & Human Services. Our priority is athlete safety and performance, but also offering services to the public so they can be informed on their own personal health! From hydration assessments, to cardiovascular fitness, to strength testing, to bone density, the kids enjoyed hearing about possible paths for employment in the future. Excited to do more of these talks in the future.

Really excited for the grand opening of CHAMP! If you are free and want to learn more about all our health, wellness, and exercise tests please come on April 24th at 4:00pm! We will have demonstrations of all our tests, packages, and will be providing food, beverages, and a raffle! Here is the link to RSVP! Please RSVP so we can get your a proper name tag!

So its now year 4 of Perseverance Racing. What a journey…we now have a national champion on our team, Randy Puckett. Ben Tuff now has his movie on amazon prime “Swim Tuff” that has already won best picture at a film festival. Our athletes are getting faster, multiple personal bests over the year at all different types of races from many of our athletes like Clayton Northgraves, Peter DeWitt, Paolo Lubrano Mdt Celia Christake! Our coach Jon Fecik coached athletes to sub 9 hour ironman performances and raced back to back weekends. I had the chance to lecture at the nfl combine and be a part of a production for the new yorker as well as some personal bests in all of my races.

Im so proud of our team! I cant wait to see what is in store for us next year. If you want to be a part of this adventure, we just opened our store to purchase merchandise. The purchases help support our team through the year. Its perfect athletic clothing that will last you multiple years because its made that well.

We have changed the lime green on our uniforms to neon blue! We have t shirts, tank tops, shorts for your spin class you love so much, cycling gear, and the perfect hoodie thats great to run with in the winter.

Thanks everyone for your support!
