In Their Own Words
You've heard enough from us... So here's what our athletes are saying about South Bay Multi Sport.
SBMS athlete Mark Rocha, pictured above after taking 1st place in the 25-29 Age Group at San Diego Triathlon Classic. Trained by Coach Zack.
"I've been coached by Zack for over two years now. I went from finishing my first triathlon, to taking the top spot in my age group only a year later. I've also lowered my marathon PR by over 10 minutes, and my half-marathon PR by over 4 minutes this last year. Zack trained me for my first half-Ironman, which I completed in well under 5 hours, and we are now targeting a podium and 70.3 world championship slot in the next 3 months. His passion and dedication to my success has been the biggest benefit to reaching my goals!" - Mark Rocha
SBMS Athlete Andrew Rioveros, pictured above after taking 1st place in the 20-24 Age Group at the Chula Vista Challenge Sprint Triathlon. Trained by Coach Zack.
"South Bay Multi Sport has brought me up to new levels of accomplishments in the sport of triathlon. The coaches know exactly what it takes for each individual athlete to reach their full potential. Under the coaching of Zack hammer, I was able to PR and place top ten in my age group for the 2016 Mission Bay Triathlon for the first time since 2012. Furthermore, I placed 1st in my age group at the 2016 Chula Vista Challenge Sprint Triathlon which qualified me for the Age Group National Championships. My favorite part about being in this family of athletes is the encouragement and motivation you get on and off season. Coach Zack and Coach Josh work hard to see their athletes take on PR's and podiums."

"Coach Josh did an excellent job of preparing me physically, mentally, and logistically for my first half marathon. I had never run at this level before, and in a very short amount of time, he was able to prepare me by creating an easy-to-follow running plan. He responded to my questions and concerns with his own careful thought and expertise. I successfully completed my first half marathon and continued running from then on. Joshua is passionate about what he teaches, he very knowledgeable, and very supportive!" - Montse Tamez
SBMS Athlete Evelyn Sun, pictured above with the sport she's most passionate about. This yogi went on to take 7th in her Age Group at Ironman 70.3 Cebu and earn a roll down slot at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. Evelyn is trained by Coach Josh.
I have been doing triathlons recreationally for a couple of years, until last year when the constant pressure of meeting time goals and fitting trainings into an already-packed week made the sport feel more like a chore than a fun, stress-relieving activity. I knew I needed the encouragement, expertise, and accountability of a certified coach to help me physically and mentally survive the training for my upcoming Half Ironman. Not only did I find all that in Coach Josh, but I've also found a confidant who's extremely understanding of busy schedules and random things life throws your way - because he himself has mastered the optional triathlon training even with a crazy schedule and a ton of responsibilities. With Josh's guidance and support, I've was able to quickly and safely regain fitness from over 9 months of stagnation and had a personal best race at Ironman 70.3 Cebu.
