Coaches

Our Las Vegas Triathlon Coaching Community -2010

Nathan Chaszeyka has a very deep, and scientific approach to coaching. He is a Level 2 Expert Coach from USA Cycling, as well as having completed the curriculum for USA Cycling’s Power Based Training Certification, USA Triathlon’s Level 1 Certification, Road Runner’s Club of America’s Endurance Running Certification, and CrossFit’s Level 1 Strength and Conditioning certification.

It’s rare to meet a coach who so actively pursues knowledge in the realms of sport science, exercise physiology, and it shows in the results of his athletes. He has coached athletes to compete in Kona, National Championships, the National Development Team for cycling, full and half Ironman races, ultra-marathons, marathons, and more. For many of these athletes it was their first time working with a coach or even contemplating their specific event. All of his athletes have met with great success and are willing to provide great testimonials to his approach.

Nathan can often be found on the roads of Southern Nevada and California working as the director of Team FLUID Developmental Cycling Program, competing as a cyclist, or preparing for his next ultra-marathon.
