My name is Tracy Endo and I am a competitive swim coach and the owner of NoVa Sports Coach. NoVa Sports Coach is a competitive swim-focused coaching service based in Loudoun County, Virginia.
I grew up in rural America where fitness wasn’t extremely important. But, in my family – education was! With a background in education and homeschool, I have always had a passion to help people learn. As an adult, when I began to get off the sofa and get active, I found a love for the sport of triathlon. It was at that moment that a perfect relationship was formed between educating others and sharing a love for sports.
In 2002, at the suggestion of a friend, I began running. I enjoyed running but knew I’d never do a marathon. As a matter of fact, as a freelance writer, I wrote an article titled “The word marathon is not in my dictionary.” Seven marathons later, I was ready for something new!! With thoughts of ultra running on my mind, I decided I wanted to try out triathlon instead. I went on to race my first triathlon and fell in love with the sport. In 2010, I decided to seek out a passion of mine – coaching. That led to starting my own company in 2012 as a running coach. In 2013, I became one of the first coaches in the US to be certified by USA Triathlon as a youth & juniors coach and that same year, I reached my ultimate goal and raced my first Ironman-distance triathlon!
Because I wasn’t fit growing up, I struggled as a youth and as an adult to fit in. I was teased many times growing up and I have struggled with my weight my entire life. So, my goal is to help motivate kids to stay fit and help them start young with a healthy lifestyle and mindset as it relates to sports. I want them to create skills in their lives now so they can carry these skills into adulthood and share them with their families and community. My passion in working with adults is to work with those who have faced similar struggles to my own. I want them to realize they CAN do anything they put their minds to! Through my coaching, adults and children alike learn so much more than just the techniques necessary to swim, bike, and run. They learn to believe in themselves, they learn how to have passion for the things they do, they learn to change their mindset to empower themselves to break all the barriers that have ever been placed before them. They learn how to be AMAZING!
