A Lifelong Desire to Compete and Teach

From Founder & Head Coach Thomas:

Growing up, golf was my sport. I was wildly interested in the mechanics of the golf swing, how to improve it, and how to use those improvements to play a better game. This eventually morphed into a desire to help others to play better golf. After a long stint teaching the game of golf, I wanted to start trying to get healthier.

I started running. Then I incorporated some biking. Then one day a friend talked me into going to try to swim.

Unsurprisingly with triathlon, that same desire to learn and improve was present. After just a few years in the sport, that same drive to help others started to build.

Now with more than 15 years and 100+ endurance races, the commitment to coaching became full-blown...and thus, Merge Multisport was born.

Coaching Philosophy

At Merge Multisport, we believe sport should complement and enhance our life. Sport is part of who we are, but it isn't all that we are.

Incorporating sport into your life in a way that leads to athletic improvements is certainly a driver for many of the coaching decisions we make, but ultimately our real driving factor is to make sport a balanced and sustainable aspect of your life. That's where true, long lasting progress and enjoyment come from!

For us, great coaching is both an art and a science. Our coaches draw from the latest in exercise physiology, data analytics, and performance metrics to build individualized training plans that are grounded in proven methodology. But we also know that numbers don’t tell the whole story. That’s why we pair data-driven insights with real-world coaching experience and a deep understanding of each athlete’s unique lifestyle, goals, and background. The result? Personalized training that adapts with you; not just to help you train smarter, but to help you thrive.
