Sage Maaranen

Description

Sage Maaranen is a USA Triathlon L1, USA Cycling L3 and US Masters Swimming L1 and L2 Certified Coach, who aims to help athletes meet and exceed their athletic goals through structured training progression and a supportive athlete/coach relationship.

Although improved performance is a primary goal, it’s not the only one. Maintaining a balanced personal and professional life is also of importance, and Sage believes the pursuit of an endurance sports lifestyle can enhance the overall quality of life for the athlete. “When people realize that they have the power in them to do something hard and to do it well, it’s a game-changer,” she says. She takes great pride in aiding “newbies”, weekend warriors and youth in their discovery of the joy, focus, and self-confidence that comes with endurance sports. An athlete herself, Sage hopes to invite camaraderie on this shared adventure and advocate for populations traditionally excluded from triathlon- namely women, minority youth, and LGBT athletes.
