Coaching Background:
Nicole Gibson’s coaching and training background began in competitive swimming. While in college she realized the affect overtraining had on her performance potential. After college she went on to be the head coach of a swim team of over 300 children ages 6-18 where she developed and honed methods of “quality not quantity” and technique over blind repetition. Over the course of four years the team became one of the dominating players in the Northern Virginia swimming community and many of her swimmers have gone on to swim in college and compete at the Olympic and international level. After her time as a swim coach she began graduate school in Philadelphia where she took up running due to time constraints. She quickly became enthralled with the sport and the technique driving the movements. She took a job at a local running store, began competing, and for two and a half years immersed herself in the coaching and analysis of runner form involving methods such as those presented by the POSE and Chi running techniques. She became a certified CrossFit Endurance coach in September of 2008 and has taught clinics for ultra-marathoners, military personnel, mountain bikers, high school runners, triathletes, and CrossFit affiliates. She is an avid CrossFitter and trains for endurance events relying solely on CrossFit and CrossFit Endurance. She also coaches a number of local triathletes in the Boulder, Colorado area.
