“My coaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of communication, season planning, time management, training consistency for both physical durability and mental toughness, and a healthy balance between training and life. I chose to be a coach because I want to share the success I’ve had as a coached athlete. I want to help my athletes chase their goals and grow as athletes and as people. I believe we can all attain huge accomplishments with the right help and support.”

”Coach Donavon immediately balanced my training with the other demands of my life: Work, family, caring for an elderly relative and my numerous volunteer commitments. I met Donavon at a training camp and immediately appreciated his lighthearted but intentional approach to coaching. He is totally serious and committed to making sure I have the plan that is right for me and my goals. I am so excited for everything this year brings with Donavon in my corner.”

“Donavon is a total rockstar. He helped me attack a very aggressive racing calendar which included numerous Ironman and other endurance events, consistently readjusting plans to accommodate both life stress and training setbacks. He took the time to attend my events to support and cheer for me, even in the middle of the night. I cannot imagine a coach more dedicated to an athlete’s welfare and success than Donavon Lewis.”
