About Dom

Domenick DeMatteo is a lifelong endurance athlete with a passion, bordering on obsession, for learning what makes endurance athletes perform at their best, and the best ways to get them there. Dom combines a strong foundation in the science behind human performance with over a decade of experience as an elite-level endurance athlete to create a one of a kind training methodology.

Dom’s Philosophy

“Start by taking a big step back. What’s the purpose of training? In essence, we just want to go as fast as possible for a given distance on one, or a few given days sometime in the future. To do that we need to be fit, fresh and healthy, both mentally and physically, when the time comes. Everything you do as an athlete needs to build towards those goals in some way. Don’t train just for the sake of training, set high, performance-oriented goals, and make sure you know how every step, pedal stroke or swim stroke is furthering that goal of performance on race day.”
