Meet the MPI Coaches

 

We offer our unique knowledge and skills to each athlete we coach and teach. What sets us apart is our “team coaching” and our pure passion for the sport. We live this sport, and we live this lifestyle. We believe that multisport training techniques are still evolving, and we strive to stay at the front of that evolution. As a team, we approach each athlete from two different perspectives, but with one purpose. Whether an athlete seeks our expertise to prepare them to cross the finish line for their first Sprint Triathlon or stand on the podium in Kona, Hawaii, we will empower them to achieve their goals – whatever they may be.

MPI is proud to announce our newest Coach to the team, Dusitn Yonke.  Dustin comes to MPI with a wealth of experience having specialized at the short-course distances.  We're excited to have her as part of the Team!
