"Dave is a highly dedicated coach and truly wants the best for you. Since working with Dave, I have achieved many milestones. I value communication in a coach-to-athlete relationship, and Dave has always been there to reach out to so I can be on the best path to success. He is highly knowledgeable and knows how to get an athlete on a higher level. Dave has helped me understand what numbers mean and off-the-bike skills such as mindset or nutrition. Dave has shown me the value of consistency which leads to his philosophy of continuous improvement. Thank you Coach Dave for all you have done!"
Chris B., XCO, XCM
"Dave brings "perspective". He has an ability to see the big picture, and create both short term and long term strategies to get there, despite push back, setbacks, or changes to immediate terms plans."

"I started coaching with Kaizen Endurance after a bad experience with another coach. I wasn't sure what I was looking for, but I needed someone to be a partner in that journey so I could find joy in riding and remove some of the stress around planning. I always felt like I wasn't a "real athlete" because I am not pro and not standing on many podiums and to be honest wasn't sure what I was riding/racing for anymore. He helped me work through my own issues to determine my why and keep showing up for myself everyday!
Dave evaluates workouts with kind but constructive feedback and goes above and beyond for his athletes. I have learned so much and gained so much confidence under his care and coaching. I would highly recommend him to any athlete looking to become better.
The calls with him are easy and I always end them having gained a perspective that I was lacking prior. I have become stronger as an athlete both mentally and physically and I can't wait to see how high my ceiling is!
​
The feedback and 1:1 sessions are invaluable, as you plan your season and life. 10/10!! Highly Recommended!"

"Dave took the time to get to know me as a human and as an athlete which made a huge impact on my trust in his ability to coach me. Dave's coaching has not only made me a stronger athlete, he has also shown me how to be more compassionate with myself and my abilities."
Michael H., XCO/Gravel
"Some coaches come across like they are reading from a text book, but NOT Dave. From our initial meeting you could tell Dave brought so much experience to the table and really took the time to get to know my abilities before we started. From there, he coached based off my current fitness and schedule. As a result I have gained fitness goals that I never thought were possible for me!"
