Anything Is Possible.
With hard work and dedication, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Your goal might be to complete your first century, 10K, triathlon, cyclocross event or bike race.

That is what Total Intensity Sports is all about - taking you to a higher level and helping you achieve your fitness goals.
We use the latest training methods and center them around one simple question:
When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Pottebaum
Triathlon Coach, Veteran Triathlete and Two-time Ironman, Certified Personal Trainer.
John has coached and competed in multisport events since 1990. His athletes range from beginners to elite, ages 7 to 60 and have goals ranging from finishing their first 5K to competing in the Olympics. One of John's biggest rewards as a coach comes from seeing his athletes cross the line after a race where they achieved something they really wanted and had worked hard for. Whether it is a national championship win, a beginner's first triathlon or an Ironman finish, doesn't really matter. It's helping the athlete achieve their goal, no matter how high, that is important. Check out John's athletes' most recent results here.

Racing in eighteen different states, John has enjoyed racing in such events as Ironman Wisconsin and Coeur d'Alene, Wildflower, Memphis in May, Blackwater Eagleman, Vineman 70.3, Lake Stevens 70.3 and the Gulf Coast Half Ironman Triathlon. Always seeking out a race he has never done before, or racing in a part of the country he's never competed in before, John's philosophy towards training centers around the question; "When was the last time you did something for the first time?". John enjoys trying new training methods that still get results - it keeps things fun and avoids allowing training to get monotonous.
John loves working with new triathletes - introducing the triathlon lifestyle to more and more people is always very rewarding to him. John is entering into his fourth year as the head coach for the Leukemia Society's Team in Training team for Wildflower. He enjoys working with all levels of athletes and feels that everyone, including himself, can learn something new each and everyday. John also works through Natomas Racquet Club as a personal trainer and is certified through the American Council on Exercise. He has received a USA Triathlon Coaching Certificate from the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and a spin instructor certification from AFAA.
