It has been 4 days since I returned from my adventure, and I have spent a good bit of that time reflecting on this experience. You may want to settle in if you are going to read this entire story, I have a lot to unpack here. First, there is a little bit of back story that is important for me to explain so that the context of the trip makes sense, and you can better understand my thoug

Performance metrics can be confusing and often people become too fixated on a single metric. Data is powerful but can also have its downfalls. As athletes we need to be aware of the pros and cons of data and of course utilize it correctly. It is very important to understand that data is based in math, and math is an exact science.

By Coach Dustin Drewes When I competed in my first triathlon, I had already spent several years racing bikes before I decided to branch out into another sport. My first race was a sprint distance event with an open water swim. Having no experience in open water, it quickly became clear that I was racing for survival and not placings. When I finally came into T1, nearly all the bikes were gone. Out on the rolling and rainy course, I settled into my element and ended up passing

Will Jones When I was coaching college athletes at LSU in the early 2000s, I gave each athlete a strength and conditioning manual.
