"Calvin strives to remind his athletes what’s most important about their sport. I race triathlon because I enjoy it, and Calvin encourages me to have fun during training and competition. He approaches his coaching from an entirely positive perspective, and I look forward to each coaching session because it is a reprieve from the stresses of school and work. His focus on the process of training, instead of specific time goals, lets me take much more away from training sessions and races. Outside factors (weather, the course, other competitors) determine when I finish; concentrating on the process determines how I finish.
I hired Calvin at a time when I was rehabilitating a running injury. He kept me fit and confident while I recovered by training what I could do, not what I couldn’t. I went in to the 2008 season just hoping to be able to run again; I never would have expected to set new personal bests. Thanks Calvin!

"Calvin has an enthusiastic, enjoyable attitude to everything he does. He is very knowledgeable in all areas
of cycling, running, triathlon and fitness. He is a delight to train with as you always walk away having learned
new details of technique, fitness, technical information, even color coordination etc. He can motivate people
to perform to their potential."

"As the cycling program director for the Pacific Spirit Triathlon Club,
I had the good fortune to have Calvin as one of the coaches.
He maintains a light-hearted demeanour in his group while focusing
on the key objectives of skill acquisition, improved fitness, and group safety.
The riders in his group always seemed to enjoy their workouts more than others,
and as a result, adhered to the program and achieved greater gains
in their cycling skills and fitness."

"I had the good fortune of being coached by Calvin on the bike and to some extent running as well.
He has an amazing ability to read when to push a person, when to just have fun and when we need to be serious.
He is extremely adaptable in his style to work with the person he is coaching.
His approach to sport is well planned, serious when necessary with the underlying tone of everything should be fun!
He is also amazingly supportive and an excellent athlete in his own right!"
