Meet Coach Dean
A Personal Note
Dean
developed a passion for researching information on the technical
side of training through frustration and trial and error in
his own training. He still interviews coaches, attends running
camps, reads numerous publications, has subscribed to popular
running magazines as well as running and distance training
research publications and uses sources he's found worldwide.
Dean obtained coaching certifications in sprints to middle
distance to long distance running, throwing and jumping field
events and has taken courses through universities as well
as nationally sanctioned organizations. He learned how to
differentiate quality information versus anecdotal and for
the most part, unsupported approaches to training. Dean has
more than 20 graduate credits in sports psychology - the psychology
of athlete performance. It is as a result of his past and
ongoing experiences that he is confident that the information
and approaches he shares are the best.
From
the 400 meters to duathlons and to the ultra-marathon –
he's raced it. From the 400 to the ultra-marathon he's coached
it. Dean states, "I’ve been fortunate enough to
actually claim a few course and state records as well as my
share of race victories. And if I had only known then what
I know now, I am confident I would have had even better results.
After more than 35 years of running and racing, succeeding
and failing, running fast and not-so-fast, being healthy and
injured, I remain committed to continuous improvement –
and sharing information to help others benefit from what I
have learned. And most importantly, my aim is to have people
enjoy running, fellow runners and racing!"
