What is Placid Athlete?
Placid Athlete is an Austin, Texas, based triathlon coaching and personal training business.
Our focus is on helping busy people reach their fitness goals so that they can become Placid Athletes: people who are fit in both mind and body, living a tranquil, balanced lifestyle.
We are not for everyone. If you are an elite athlete already, you will have more success elsewhere. But if you are just a regular mom or dad, a triathlon rookie or intermediate age-group participant, or a corporate professional just trying to stay fit and healthy while maintaining some semblance of life balance and sanity, then you’ve come to the right place!
Please read the blog, browse the website, and let us know how we can help you become the Placid Athlete that you are meant to be!

This is the Life of a Placid Athlete!
There are three pillars to becoming a Placid Athlete:
• Physical Fitness • Proper Nutrition • Mental Fitness
Like a stool which will stand only with all three legs, you must address all three of these factors if you hope to live a healthy, fit, and balanced lifestyle. At placidathlete.com, we will explore the three pillars and will help you find the Placid Athlete within yourself.

Our Key Values:
- Being a Placid Athlete is not just about training for an event 2 or 3 months away and then that’s it, you are finished. Instead, being a Placid Athlete is a way of life. We want you to make proper fitness and nutrition something you do every day so that you build healthy habits for a lifetime.
- Communication is key. We will work together to set goals, develop a plan that works with your busy lifestyle, and then we will be in constant communication concerning execution of the plan. If something isn’t working, we will work together to find a solution.
- “It’s all good,” as they say! All of life is a learning experience. Mistakes and failures are okay, because that is how we learn and become better athletes and human beings.
- We want you to succeed in reaching your personal goals, and will provide a supportive environment and constant encouragement to make that possible. Constructive criticism (coaching!) will focus on helping you strengthen your weaknesses and become a better athlete.
