More About Coach Eric
Professional Coach 24 years
ASCA Level 5 Coach
2 Years Georgia Tech
6 Years U. of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
3 Years U. of Pittsburgh
2 Years U. of Rochester
14 years USA Swimming Club & High School
I've worked with beginners through U.S. National Team Athletes, produced over 40 NCAA Div. I All-Americans, an NCAA Record Holder, and three U.S. National team members. Have been traveling to international competitions with the U.S. National Team for 9 years. Currently own and coach Elevation Athletics in Colorado. Swim Lessons or full training for individuals or small groups in age group swimming, high school, college, triathlon or summer league. USA Swimming certified coach, fully background checked. Performance psychology coach and owner of Lifesparq.
Competitive swimmer from age 8-25. Last competed at U.S. Olympic Trials in 2000 in Indianapolis. Pennsylvania high school state record holder, NCAA All-American. Competed in college at the University of Pittsburgh. Swam two years after college as a professional. Competed as an amatuer triathlete for three years, competing in sprint through half-ironman distances. 1994 U.S. Olympic Festival Gold Medalist.
My programs are primarily for Master's level swimmers and older (19+ yo) who would like to focus more on quality, rather than high volume training; those who would like to eliminate shoulder pain; and those who would like to figure out how to swim faster than they ever have before. The Masters swimmers I currently work with have all had lifetime best times, some have achieved World Records for their age-group and all have eliminated pain/injury from their swimming and are having more fun in the sport than at anytime in their lives.

Client Reviews
Traci (CoachUp client)
Eric was super responsive. Received a reply within the hour. Video analysis overnight with detailed and explanatory critique less than 24 hours. Suggestions for short term improvement going into state meet in 2 weeks was great. Very realistic goals to focus on for short term gains. Will definitely use again!

I worked with Eric to improve my swim for my half-ironman...in only a few weeks, I was more efficient, faster and felt the difference in my legs on the bike. Thanks Eric!

Not only does Eric provide great coaching in the pool, but his sports nutrition and mental strength training programs have helped my son get better grades and not be so stressed about life.
