About the team
Rebecca
Founder & Coach
Rebecca is a running & multisport coach. She earned her Master’s degree in exercise physiology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her Ph.D. in exercise science from the University of Cape Town. Now based in Greensboro, North Carolina, she specializes in custom coaching for runners, trail ultrarunners, and multisport athletes, as well as monitoring training load for all her athletes. Rebecca was a national-level swimmer in the USA and was world ranked in the 1500m freestyle. She began coaching in 2008 after retiring from swimming and began competing in triathlons and running. As a result, she has gained a passion for coaching and getting people involved in sport, as it provides people with a community, a healthy lifestyle, and realistic goals that provide life-long benefits. Aside from her impressive academic background, Rebecca’s ability to understand people’s needs and wants first-hand, through various experiences, is what truly makes her stand out. She provides a holistic coaching style with a human first approach with athletes. With a science driven approach combined with human support, athletes achieve goals and enjoy the process of training.
