Welcome to my new web site. I felt the need to redesign my previous site and give it a new and fresh look for the new decade and my 5th year anniversary. Primarily, I felt the need to expand my professional focus. My passion for coaching and teaching has taken me into areas of interest that were beyond the scope of my initial multisport training vision. My desire has always been to create a complete athlete. Therefore , I have renamed KONA Multisport Training to KONA Human Performance. KONA is more than just a multisport training service. KONA is about human performance. I have invested money and countless hours creating a multidisciplined training service treating the mind, body and spirit, a combination seldom seen in the industry. Through continuing education and numerous professional certifications, I have followed my passion for coaching and personal training into such areas as biomechanical assessment, kinesiology, corrective exercises, and nutrition. Prior to initiating a training program, an athlete needs a trained professional to assess their posture and movement in order to prevent potential injuries. The coach can then create a plan of exercises to correct muscular imbalances before loading a person with high intensity training. Prescribing a personal exercise program or training plan without proper assessments can be counterproductive and is potentially harmful to athletes. Nutrition is vital to creating the total athlete and improving performance. Most athletes feel they can eat and drink anything they want since they train hard and burn calories during their workouts. Performance is directly affected by nutrition. KONA will educate clients about nutritional needs and proper supplementation. Every triathlete, runner and cyclists needs to understand their nutritional needs to optimize their training and racing. Athletes must know exactly how many calories/hour and fluid requirements/hour they need for maximum performance. On race day, there is no guess work, it's automatic and nutritional needs are already predetermined by training.
And there's more coming. Thank you for all your support.
Train hard, train smart!
