“I believe that triathlon is a great testing ground for all of us as it gives us a chance to measure ourselves against the clock and other athletes in a safe, fun environment. We get to meet people from all walks of life that share a common bond. With proper training, coaching and hard work we can all become the best athletes that we want to be.”
TESTIMONIALS
Matt, Ontario, Canada
“I began working with Coach Mark as an average age group athlete at the sprint and Olympic distances. Coach Mark introduced me to a proper training routine and built a great level of communication to make sure I was succeeding, both as an athlete and as a person. Coached by Mark, I completed two Ironman races and won a 70.3. Coach Mark’s dedication and direction overcomes any challenges of online coaching. I highly recommend Coach Mark to any athlete looking to increase their fitness, get faster or achieve their dream of crossing an Ironman finish line!”
Hance, Kentucky, USA
“Having an experienced coach custom build a plan around my schedule and goals enables me to utilize my limited time more effectively. I can train rather than figure out what to do next. With Coach Mark, I’ve progressed faster than I could have otherwise and am well prepared for this year’s races.”
Yati, USA
“Mark Shorter is a fantastic coach and a fantastic person. A testament to this is the fact that pretty much every athlete Mark coaches at some point refers to Mark not just as a coach, but as a friend. I can without question say that Mark looks out for me and my goals. He has had my best interests at heart and his vast knowledge from years of triathlon racing and coaching experience are obvious. You would be a lucky athlete to have Mark as your coach.”
Glenn, USA
“Mark’s constant positivity and interest in helping all athletes reach their goals regardless of their experience or ability is priceless. Mark is an accomplished triathlete who knows the sport inside and out, but as good a coach as he is, he’s an even better person. He helped me get through severe swim anxiety to complete my first Ironman 70.3. If you are looking for someone to help you reach your goals, I can think of no better way to start than with Mark Shorter.”
