Scott Roy 

Scott has a B.A. in Health Education. He has 20+ years competitive swimming experience and a former college swimmer (Linfield College1991-1995). He began his triathlon journey in 2000 after moving to Honolulu. He has completed 75+ triathlons and running races since 1998. The journey that started as way to get back in shape and lose the 40 lbs gained after swimming college has turned into a lifestyle and passion. He has experience competing at all levels/distances including local/regional races, Age Group Nationals, Xterra World Championships, Escape from Alcatraz, Ironman Coeur d'Alene 2004, 2005 and IM Canada 2008. Scott has completed 15 marathons including Columbia Gorge, Portland, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Chicago and Boston. Some of his athletic highlights included consistent top age group, top 10 overall finishes, IM CDA 10:25, Chicago Marathon 2:59, and Boston Marathon.

His philosophy of preparing and educating each individual athlete leads to what he feels is the most important aspect of any training program: enjoying the journey! He feels the successful coaching of athletes is based on excellent communication, consistent training, and attention to detail. He believes in working closely and in cooperation with athletes to define and refine their goals and teach them how to achieve them. His role as a coach involves motivating athletes, preventing injuries due to overtraining and challenging them to reach their goals. Scott understands the importance of keeping life in perspective through prioritizing family, work, and training. This balance is key to enjoying the journey! Winning trophies and medals is a nice bonus but the real reward to an athlete is this process, the journey. The real reward and success of coaching is helping athletes reach their goals.

Scott has coached swimming for 18 years and triathlon & running for 9 years. He has training as a USAT Level 2 triathlon coach. He enjoys coaching and working with athletes of all ages and ability levels. He has successfully coached 20+ athletes to IM finishes since 2005! Our family recently moved back to Spokane.
