Joshua Mower
Josh comes to KE with prior coaching experience from Collegiate stints at Brevard College (NC) and Valley City State University (ND) and private personal training environments. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and a Master of Science degree in Kinesiology and also is USA Track & Field Level 1 and USA Triathlon Level 1 coach certified. Behind the scenes he also holds a NASM certified Personal Training certification and multiple key specialties which gives him extra knowledge on the physiology of endurance sports, the way the body works as well as injury prevention/ correction techniques. Josh coaches both runners and triathletes and helps with some of the background work with KE like timing events and managing social media sites. When asked about his coaching philosophy, Josh views each individual uniquely and tries to tailor an athlete's training to his/her needs and goals. "I find it rewarding, not just reaching an end result. I like seeing athletes of all ages and levels compete for their individual goals and gain confidence in their training." Josh was a standout athlete at Brevard College where he ran Cross Country, Indoor & Outdoor Track all 4 years and still owns school records from the NCAA Division-2 era for 5000m (15:30), 3000m (9:06), 3K Steeple Chase (9:31), 10000m (32:28) & Mile (4:30). As a triathlete Josh competes in Sprint and Olympic Races and is usually top 10 out of the water, in the top 15% on the bike and normally the top ranked runner at every race.
