Coached, not programmed.
Coaching is mostly listening, then patience and a little craft.
I’ve coached elite and everyday athletes for twenty-six years. Athletes come to me because they’ve had programs handed to them and nobody in their corner. Coaching is mentorship. No real mentor, no real coach. I coach one-to-one, online, wherever you train.
Work with me →A few ways we might work together.
I take on a small number of people at a time. It’s better that way, for them, and for me.

“You largely gave me the foundation of a lot of what I understand with the psychological side of the sport.”
“Grant taught me that mental toughness is not about being brash or overly aggressive, but about a soft, gentle process of awareness and acceptance.”
“Grant, everything you said worked exactly how you said it would. I followed the mental prep every other day and came 7th in my first Ironman in Canada.”
There is no trick. Training is simple, honest work, done over many years, with attention paid to what’s going on between the ears.
“The athletes who last aren’t the most talented. They’re the ones who learn to enjoy being uncomfortable, and to be kind to themselves about it.” Notebook, May
Things I’ve been thinking about.
A letter, every couple of weeks.
Slow writing on training, psychology and what I’m quietly working on.
