On Working with Coach Bruce...
"I have been working with Bruce for the past 5 years. He has helped me achieve my goal of becoming a world class age grouper. Bruce is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of triathlon training and racing.
He has a solid understanding of the science of endurance sports and is constantly learning as the science evolves. Bruce has years of experience in coaching athletes of all levels and is a top age group athlete himself.
As a coach, Bruce is incredibly encouraging and supportive. He always believes in me, even when I question myself. He is very good at motivating me to push harder than I thought possible. He has transformed me from a middle of the pack age grouper into a multiple time long course World Championship qualifier. What truly sets Bruce apart is that he truly cares about me as a person, not just an athlete. He is always there for me, both on and off the race course. He is a good friend and mentor.
I highly recommend Bruce Cook to any triathlete who is serious about achieving their goals. He is the best coach I could ask for.
