Mission Statement
Coach Brett believes coaching should be based on sound, scientific principles. Coach Brett regularly attends continuing education clinics, graduate level exercise physiology courses, and externships; this despite the fact he already has a Masters degree in exercise science and 15 publications and presentations in peer-reviewed research journals and conferences, respectively. Triathlon is a relatively new sport and research is lagging compared to other sports (e.g. cycling, baseball, etc.) thus not every situation has answers that can be found in peer-reviewed research journals. There are an infinite number of situations that can arise in a sport like triathlon. This is where the art of coaching comes in. Petersen Performance Lab believes that the best coach uses a combination of solid scientific principles and the art of coaching to assist the athlete in reaching his or her full potential in the sport of triathlon.
