With over 20 years of coaching experience at all levels of triathlon and swimming, Earl has an ability to see all sides of a training challenge and address it appropriately for the individual. The challenges of raising two small boys in the city has caused him to be quite certain that absolutely anything is possible, so leave your previous expectations as the door – new ones will soon be assigned. Earl has focused the last few years to building Tailwind Endurance into a true home for the endurance athletes of the New York City.
Brian Hammond is the founder and head coach of WorkLiveTri. From studying physical education at West Virginia University to 14 years as a personal trainer in New York to achieving his certification as a USA Triathlon coach, Brian has dedicated countless hours studying how the body adapts to training and how to manage the obstacles and hurdles that stand in the way. His goal as a coach is to help others see that there is a way to “do it all”: be a competitive triathlete, loving spouse, caring parent and productive employee.
