UCSB Athletes
Mateo is Head Coach and Director of the UC Santa Barbara Triathlon Team.
Coaching the team since the fall of 2006, Mateo has overseen a period of dramatic growth within the UCSB Triathlon Team. At the same time, collegiate triathlon itself has undergone similar growth across the nation. With Mateo as their coach, the UCSB Triathlon Team has steadily improved at Collegiate National Championships, claiming 9th in both 2007 and 2008, and 6th in 2009.
Mateo applies the same periodized heart rate based training to the UCSB Triathlon Team that he uses with individual athletes in Trinity Endurance Sport.
Unique to the team experience, Mateo incorporates dynamic group work to cultivate a deep sense of connection, unity, and common vision while also supporting individuals in the genesis of their own goals within the sport and beyond.
In daily practice, Mateo reinforces technique, mental focus, and specificity of purpose in order to maximize training, development, and team unity.
