What our athletes have to say

Victory Tri really helped me focus my training and take me to the next level. The methodical approach and goal-oriented training plan showed me the improvements I wanted to make, how we would get there, and the results to back it up.

Derek doesn’t take shortcuts in his coaching. Instead of approaching me like a number or prescribing the same 12 week plan he does to every athlete, he helped me define goals and provides feedback daily, tailoring my training week by week. My triathlon training under Derek has been more efficient, effective, and personalized than it has been with any other coach.

Victory Tri coaching made me not only a more dedicated and competent triathlete, but a healthier and smarter athlete and professional. The training is tailored to fit your goals and emphasizes fundamentals, strength, and injury prevention. Victory Tri takes the guesswork out of triathlon, so that races become pure enjoyment of all the progress you’ve made. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, Victory Tri is the coach that you want. He helped me achieve my goals in starting to become a competitive racer as well as enlisting in the Army.

Derek takes a personalized and holistic approach to training his athletes, working around life constraints. He will train your weakness and build on your strengths. And in addition to training he has the race experience to share with others.
