More Than Sport
More Than Sport Athletes
We understand that endurance sport can be exclusionary due to many elements. Cost is one of the barriers to entry that we can help control. Each coach at Sonic Endurance offers their services pro bono to qualifying, deserving athletes that otherwise would not be able to experience coaching, or worse, would not participate in the sport at all.
What do our More Than Sport Athletes have to say?
“I wanted to be a part of the team so badly but financially coaching was just not an option for Taylor and I. I said I’d join the team and practice with everyone during my training. Being the OCD planner that I am, I bought a monthly planner and started to scribble down a training plan I found in a book. While reading, the heart rate stuff made zero sense and the thought of riding a bike for 6 hours made me want to puke.
I was on the train scribbling in my planner and here comes Stacey as she was often heading downtown too. She asked what I was doing and told me “hey, don’t go too far writing stuff out. Just trust me, ok?” I said okay put my pen down.
A few days later I received an email from Stacey informing me that Sonic Endurance selected me as their 2019 More Than Sport Athlete. What does that mean? That means they offered me a full year of training for FREE to help me tackle my IRONMAN journey. Open up the water works. Stuff Ike this doesn’t happen. Coaches don’t HAVE to do this. But because of the extremely large heart of the Sonic coaching staff I was on my way to becoming IRONMAN with the guidance of Coach RYAN.”

Guys, stuff Ike this doesn’t happen. Coaches don’t HAVE to do this. But because of the extremely large heart of the Sonic coaching staff I was on my way to becoming IRONMANdee with the guidance of Ryan Heisler. 
“Truly so very thankful for this human. I believe one of the marks of a great teacher/coach/leader is they go above and beyond to try and help each kid/student/athlete/person reach their full potential whether it be in that specific field or life in general. Coach STACEY has done that for me time and time again and goes out of her way to help everyone. THANK YOU for being you, Coach! You are truly changing the world one athlete at a time! To be a great coach is to know more than crunching numbers and analyzing data. To be a great coach is to know your athlete. When you know your athlete because you have built a relationship with them, you know their fears, and the stumbling blocks that they put in front of them and their potential performance. To be a great coach is to know how to listen, look into those athletes eyes and know how to pull out the best in them. That’s only possible when you have a relationship with your athlete. I’m grateful to call Coach STACEY not only my coach but one of my best friends. Because of that she pulls out the best in me.”
