AWAKE & READY

FORGING A NEW BREED OF ATHLETE

BY MERGING THE SCIENCE OF THE MIND WITH

ENDURANCE SPORTS TRAINING

You've tried everything...

... but you're still dealing with injuries, feeling inconsistent or disappointed in your training, stressed that there is never enough time in the day, and experiencing anxiety, especially about the dreaded swim portion of the race. That voice in your head keeps saying, "It will never be me," or "I can't get better as I get older."

You just aren't quite where you want to be in your training. Something is missing.

YogiTriathlete's unique methodology specializes in training the mind alongside your endurance training. You will learn to turn inward and access the limitless calm within you. Endurance sports naturally teach us to push through challenges, to endure. However, we offer a lighter way, building an unshakeable foundation of calm regardless of the storm around or within us. You will be guided to maintain composure while experiencing everything, and to relax in the face of intensity —

This is true invincibility.

This is being Awake & Ready.

I'm Ready To Know More about SQUAD

Working with YogiTriathlete enabled me to be more in the moment during training and life. BJ was a reassuring force guiding my training as it ramped and soothing the valleys and bumps of a major injury. The experience and benefit goes beyond what you find in Training Peaks.

Joan, Barcelona, Spain

YogiTriathlete's mentorship and expertise have far exceeded my expectations. Through your guidance and relentless support, I not only achieved my initial goal but surpassed it by qualifying for the World Championship and earning an "all-world" distinction—a dream I hadn't dared to imagine. Your guidance has been pivotal in not only transforming my athletic abilities but also shaping my mindset, discipline, and determination.

My mom commented that it was so crazy to see me so calm on the morning of my first Ironman. I am really, really proud of myself for this. Open water swimming can be challenging for me mentally and emotionally, but I had zero issues on this day.

Book Your Discovery Call Now With One Of Our Coaches

I will have gratitude in my heart for BJ and YogiTriathlete for the rest of my life. I signed up for IMAZ with a dream, four months to train, and no actual action steps of how to get there. Yogi Triathlete was recommended to me as a team who believes in whole body training and offers more than just a schedule. BJ met me exactly where I was. He challenged my mental obstacles, taught me proper athletic nutrition, gave me my workouts the night before so I wouldn’t overthink a session, and more importantly, was a coach, counselor, mentor and friend. He and many others from the team were at the race supporting me from start to finish. Finishing that Ironman was the biggest accomplishment of my life to date. I don’t think I would have been able to have done it without BJ. The feelings after crossing that finish line being surrounded by my family and the coaches were some of my most powerful. BJ approached our athlete-coach relationship in a way that encouraged me to do my training for my own true self; rather than doing them because he wanted me to.

It was remarkable how someone else's unwavering faith in my abilities transferred into my own beliefs in myself.
