Our Philosophy
Individual Coaching
Our Philosophy
Brian leverages 25 years' experience as a combat fighter pilot and commander to bring focus to his coaching and your training.
coaching PHILOSOPHY
As a career Air Force Fighter Pilot and instructor, my approach to coaching uses the same techniques that train the world's best pilots:
A Solid Plan of Action, Attention to Detail, Diligent Training, and Debriefing are the keys to success.
Pilots see everything before it happens through mental rehearsal and visualization. They don't practice to get it right; they practice until they can't get it wrong. That allows execution with powerful confidence.
Our training follows the same path. I believe effective coaching requires attention, so we don't limit communication--I need to know what you're doing and how it feels. Coaching is not spreadsheets and data. Nor is it a static online training plan or advise from faceless unknowns on social media. It's a combination of art from years of experience and science from education.
Our programs include not only the swim, bike, and run training, but also mental skills, strength training, recovery, fueling and hydration, equipment advice, race planning, tactics and debrief.
We focus on a solid aerobic foundation and build race-specific intensity on top. Strength training aids in durability and recovery ability. And it all comes together in confidence through repetition and focus.

Attention to Detail
Like any relationship, the coaching relationship relies on communication. Subjective feedback and objective data combined with open communication allow the coach to better serve the athlete, and the athlete to better inform the coach.
We don't have tiered programs that limit communication. One program without compromise.
Your program is designed for you--your needs, your goals, and your schedule.
Scheduling, data, strength, mental skills, recovery, fueling, hydration, tactics, race planning, race debrief.
Busy Professionals
Brian's specialty is in working with high performing busy professionals. You juggle family, work, stress, and hobbies. You don't have time to add stress to your training.
Brian was a military commander (CEO), a fighter pilot, a business owner, a husband and father, and an athlete performing at the national level. He can navigate the challenges, focus your training, and give you the confidence to perform, even at a high level.
You rely on your team at work. Don't take on training without the right team behind you!

WHO are we
Racing
Growing up running and cycling, I started racing as a kid. My first mountain bike race was in junior high. I ran Cross Country and Track in high school. College multisport racing took me to several states as well as Australia for ITU Duathlon Worlds.
Now, over 200 triathlons, 2 quadrathlons, 5 Ironmans, lots of Xterra races later I still love the sport and our athletes!
I've been fortunate to run down Ali'i Drive twice, have a few AZ State Champion jerseys, was AZ's Best of the US selection, raced at US Military National Championships (USA's first amateur draft-legal events), was twice Xterra Regional Champion and #2 Amateur in the US, and the Top American amateur at the Hawaii Double (Kona + Xterra Worlds one week apart).
I have a short history racing as a pro on the mountain bike and triathlon until the injury that sidelined my serious racing...but drove me into coaching.
Detour
A mountain bike crash in early 2007 changed my plans. Docs told me my ankle wouldn't heal correctly, and indeed it did not. They also told me my flying, running and cycling days were over.
This is where diligent work can change your path. I'm back to flying and am back to racing multisport. Although coaching is my priority, I can still rip it up on course once in a while.
Coaching
The injury led me to coaching full-time, and thus began Grasky Endurance Coaching.
I have coached elite and amateur athletes, have been the USA Head Coach at several world championship events, and coached the University of Arizona TriCats club team to National Champion Runner Up. I've led several clubs and teams and many individuals. I was selected as the 2020 USAT Coach of the Year for Education. Now that I am retired from the Air Force, I am back to focusing on coaching athletes and mentoring athletes and coaches.
Opportunities
In addition to coaching, I share my thoughts and approach in seminars and symposiums, teach through USAT Coaching Education, and speak to corporate and leadership groups on success and failure, leadership and followership, and all things sport.
