Coaching Philosophy

Michel specializes in Working with the Baby-Boomer + Generation and the many Master Athletes who are still competing in their respective sports.

For Michel, there are no shortcuts or tricks to achieving success in endurance sports. Rather, he believes that as a coach, he can help athletes achieve their goals by employing a variety of time-tested, scientifically proven training strategies and plans. Michel is constantly staying abreast of the latest literature and enthusiastically applies the knowledge developed by countless athletes and coaches throughout the world.

Michel does not believe in the “one-size-fits-all program or strategy” to train every athlete, but rather believes that each person’s unique abilities, desires and life situation require an individualized approach to training and racing.

He contends that the role of the coach should be to help each athlete acquire the ability to eventually become his or her own best trainer, while still providing the feedback and analysis crucial to athletic success. Michel emphasizes a structured, efficient approach to training in preparation for achieving better performance but will always insist that endurance sports are “just fun” to participate in and everyone who participates should learn to enjoy their time while competing!
