Matt Dixon, Coach of multiple World Champion triathletes
"As athletes and coaches, we seek to maximize training efficiency within a given "life stress" environment to keep our bodies in a state of positive adaptation and to optimize results. Restwise is the best tool I have ever seen to guide this effort: it is objective, dynamic, science-based and as long as we are honest when we enter our data, totally accurate."
There are as many training methodologies as there are competitions to test them, and research continually reveals more refined sport-specific ways to structure training. But underpinning every coherent training plan is the biological need for recovery. If you want to know how hard you can push your athletes, you simply must understand how they are recovering.
Restwise offers coaches, athletic trainers, and medical staff the first practical system for monitoring athletes’ recovery state on a daily basis. The Restwise Coach account lets you quickly view information about all of your athletes in aggregate, in groups, or individually. Or you can set up alerts so Restwise will email you a list of athletes who have low recovery scores, are dehydrated, ill or injured.
Restwise is used by coaches of some of the world’s top individual endurance athletes. And some of the most sophisticated sports programs in the world, including professional, national, and collegiate teams, now rely on Restwise to monitor their athletes’ recovery.
For a tour of Restwise from a coach's perspective, watch a six-minute video of the Restwise coach platform.
For a case study on how to use Restwise, watch a four-minute video of how the coach of 5X Mountain Bike World Champion Rebecca Rusch used Restwise to modify her training plans before an event.
You can open a free coach account. And of course, you can always

purplepatch [pur.puhl.pach] noun: a period of excellent performance, when everything seems to go right, work properly and is in perfect balance. Everything seems to fall into place and flows, making it seem like you can do nothing wrong. If you are looking for a bit of Purple Patch in your life, check out Matt's philosophy. We also encourage you to read the "About Me" link on his site - an interesting examination into the effects of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (over-training). His long recovery from this plays a part in why he feels Restwise is so important.

Pacific Rim Multisport coaches each work with a limited number of athletes of all levels to ensure we are able to offer the highest level of service to our athletes. Paramount to this is communication between the coach and athlete which, is not only unlimited, but actively encouraged. Our coaching is not a scheduling service and instead we focus on establishing a "mentor" relationship with the athlete ensuring we have a complete understanding of the athlete. We believe that a key component of this model is understanding the individual nature of the athlete. We do not use "cookie cutter" programs but rather design unique programs to cater for the individual needs of the athlete, both within the sport and outside of the sport.

If you are enthusiastic about the sport of rowing, Carlos wants to work with you. As Carlos says, "Your excitement about improving your rowing is more important than how well you row or how long you've been rowing. I will find a way to bring you from point A to point B, and to do so in a creative and motivating way. After all, if you want to be your best, you can't simply rely on the circumstance of genetics. You have to take risks with your training, you have to be passionate about improving and you must love your sport." Pehaps most importantly, Carlos encourages rowers of all levels and at any age. With experience coaching juniors, collegiate champions, beginning adults and Olympians, Carlos's enthusiasm makes any day on the water a pleasure.

Yoga and endurance sports, like literature, give us insight into the human condition, helping us answer the question of what to make of our existence They teach us how to use our bodies and minds to make sense of our souls. By paying disciplined attention to form and breath during your workouts, you’ll improve your sport performance, as well as your mental focus. I help your training and racing become a fulfilling part of your life experience—another way to build strength (in the form of sport skill, speed, and endurance), flexibility (the ability to maintain equanimity on hard days and through stressful situations), and balance (engagement in various healthy, wide-ranging, complementary activities). You’ll gain insight about what to make of your existence. My coaching is guided by three principles: 1) balance: only through recovery do we receive the gains of training, so rest is essential for your physical and mental balance. You have to take it easy to be able to go hard, 2) communication: it’s not unusual to share a number of e-mails in a single day, and I like to check in with my athletes during periodic workouts together, and 3) transparency: every workout should have a clear purpose. If you don’t know what you’re getting in a workout—how it should feel, why it is scheduled—you’re wasting your time and money. This fits into the bigger picture, too: you need a sense of what your training, racing, and sport bring to your life and to your world.
