Jason Digman is the coach and founder of Dig It Triathlon and Multisport. As a full-time professional coach, and an athlete himself, Jason understands the demands of endurance sports training and performance. Training and racing take a lot of commitment. The mission of Dig It Triathlon and Multisport is to specifically identify what clients "dig" about their training, and to use that knowledge as the central means to maximize their performance. We want clients to come as close as they can to having it all -- doing what they love while simultaneously maximizing their performance. Jason has the academic training and knowledge to make your body perform better. Jason is a USA Triathlon Level 1 Certified Coach and a USA Cycling Level 2 Certified Coach. Soon he will have completed his power certification with USA Cycling. Jason is a student of endurance sports and continues to expand his knowledge of what makes athletes perform their best. He analyzes power data every chance he gets, as scary as that might be. He joined the PhysFarm Coaching Consortium at the start of 2008 to build upon his understanding of exercise science within a group dedicated to reading and debating the latest research in that field. Click here to read more about the PCC. Jason also has a Ph.D. in social science history and extensive academic training in comparing and analyzing both numeric and qualitative data. In short, Coach Jason has the knowledge to make your training successful. Coaches are only as successful as they are able to bring their knowledge to use for their athletes. Experience, in short, is worth a lot. Jason has that experience. He has been a full time, professional coach for several years and works with athletes of all levels, from professionals to those just starting endurance sports. No matter how fast a Dig It athlete, they receive the same type of coaching - individually tailored guidance that best serves them. As an endurance athlete for over two decades, Jason has raced in triathlons from sprints through Ironmans, running races from 5K to ultamarathons, duathlons and bicycle races of all sorts. Click here for a full description of Coach Jason's endurance sports background. Not only does Jason have extensive experience in endurance sports, he continues to compete while doing what most age group athletes do, balancing their racing hobby with the rest of life's demands and enjoying himself along the way.
