Matt Houser
Triathlete

Ever drop a brick into the water? Does it float? I'm the brick that Mark Peterson helped to make float. I met Mark Peterson In the Fall of 2002 and asked for his assistance with swim lessons. I never took swim lessons prior to meeting Mark. I participate in 3 Triathlons a year and my worst event has always been swimming. My lack of athleticism in the pool and fear of the water kept me from being more competitive.

Mark has taken me from a 16 minute 1/4 mile swim, where I would side stroke the distance, to a 9 minute 1/4 mile swim using the front crawl. Not only has Mark made me a more confident swimmer but he helped me improve my running skills and assisted me with dieting. Mark is selfless and very giving. He is truly committed to making his athletes strive to be their best through great training. Mark is a motivator and true professional in every sense of the word.
