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. He is an avid reader of sports science research joining the PhysFarm Coaching Consortium in 2008 to continue that process. The PhysFarm Coaching Consortium is a group of coaches who regularly meet and discuss the latest research in exercise science and the application of that work to the real world of athletic performance. 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. Not only does Jason have the knowledge to help with your training, he's brought that to the advantage of athletes of all levels. With goals as diverse as top tier finishes at nationally competitive races to finishing their first triathlon, Dig It athletes are a diverse group but they get 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. In 2008 Jason will be doing a bit of everything - triathlons, duathlons, bicycle road racing and maybe even a snowshoe race. His prospective calendar is here with the main events being Ironman Wisconsin and a series of bike races and duathlons in May. You can see Jason's 2007 Racing Calendar with race reports here and his 2006 schedule with reports is here.
