"Working with Dave has been a game-changer. He jumped in mid-season when I needed guidance most and has been a steady, insightful presence ever since. I race for fun, but seeing progress and getting faster makes it even better—Dave gets that. He listens, challenges me, and tailors his coaching to my goals. Thanks to him, my handling skills and confidence have improved, and he helped me rediscover joy in gravel racing after an injury. I couldn’t recommend him more."

"Working with Coach Dave has been an incredible experience. He coached me through the Leadville 100 MTB, where I managed to snag a buckle—something I wasn’t sure would be possible given the season I had. After breaking my arm a few months before race day and facing several setbacks that severely limited my training, Dave was able to pivot, adapt my program, and still get me race-ready on minimal training time.

 

Beyond the fitness side, he helped me grow tremendously with technique and handling skills, which made a huge difference on race day. Just as importantly, Dave has been a mentor to me as a coach. His extensive experience, including his time as head of TrainingPeaks University, has been invaluable in helping me refine my own practices and expand my understanding of training metrics and analytics. Having someone so knowledgeable in TrainingPeaks and data-driven coaching has given me tools that I’ll carry forward in my own work with athletes.

 

I highly recommend Coach Dave not only to athletes chasing big goals but also to coaches looking to sharpen their craft under the guidance of someone with unmatched expertise. It’s been a great season working with him, and I’m excited to keep learning and growing in the seasons ahead."

"I started coaching with Kaizen Endurance after a bad experience with another coach. I wasn't sure what I was looking for, but I needed someone to be a partner in that journey so I could find joy in riding and remove some of the stress around planning. I always felt like I wasn't a "real athlete" because I am not pro and not standing on many podiums and to be honest wasn't sure what I was riding/racing for anymore. He helped me work through my own issues to determine my why and keep showing up for myself everyday! Dave evaluates workouts with kind but constructive feedback and goes above and beyond for his athletes. I have learned so much and gained so much confidence under his care and coaching. I would highly recommend him to any athlete looking to become better.  The calls with him are easy and I always end them having gained a perspective that I was lacking prior. I have become stronger as an athlete both mentally and physically and I can't wait to see how high my ceiling is! ​The feedback and 1:1 sessions are invaluable, as you plan your season and life. 10/10!! Highly Recommended!"

"Dave is a highly dedicated coach and truly wants the best for you. Since working with Dave, I have achieved many milestones. I value communication in a coach-to-athlete relationship, and Dave has always been there to reach out to so I can be on the best path to success. He is highly knowledgeable and knows how to get an athlete on a higher level. Dave has helped me understand what numbers mean and off-the-bike skills such as mindset or nutrition. Dave has shown me the value of consistency which leads to his philosophy of continuous improvement. Thank you Coach Dave for all you have done!"

"Dave brings "perspective". He has an ability to see the big picture, and create both short term and long term strategies to get there, despite push back, setbacks, or changes to immediate terms plans."​​​

You invest so much into [Leadville] why would you not hire a coach? Coach Dave gave me the road map to be successful. I would have never pushed myself as hard during training.  I would have never gone to Leadville early and pre ridden the sections, which he invited me to do. I felt like I was part of the Kaizen team. That made it even more special.

 

I finished Leadville in 9:13 only because of Kaizen endurance!

"Dave took the time to get to know me as a human and as an athlete which made a huge impact on my trust in his ability to coach me. Dave's coaching has not only made me a stronger athlete, he has also shown me how to be more compassionate with myself and my abilities."

"Some coaches come across like they are reading from a text book, but NOT Dave. From our initial meeting you could tell Dave brought so much experience to the table and really took the time to get to know my abilities before we started. From there, he coached based off my current fitness and schedule. As a result I have gained fitness goals that I never thought were possible for me!"
