Andrea Fisher, Coach Andrea Fisher
Contact: ironmanfishy@gmail.com Andrea has been a life long athlete, participating in dozens of sports throughout her entire life. However at a young age it was apparent that she was a "fish" in the water, qualifying for USS Nationals at the age of 12 and ultimately posting two high school national swim records at age 17. She was fortunate enough to finish out her remaining swimming career at the University of Texas, where she was a NCAA Div 1 National Champion, multiple All American and member of the US National Swim Team. After graduating from UT, Andrea discovered the incredible sport of triathlon and was hooked. By her second summer in the sport she qualified for the Ironman World Championship, where she finished 11th overall as an amateur athlete. At age 24 Andrea made the decision to pursue the new passion, packed up her bags, put her personal training business on hold to turn professional. Her longevity within the sport of triathlon is rare, but her accolades during her professional career are abundant. She holds multiple Ironman swim course records, a record number of top 5 finishes, and dominated the USAT Southwest Regional multi-sport races for years. Andrea raced professionally for close to 16 years, which speaks volumes with regard to her physical and mental fortitude. Andrea now holds a full time job with the YMCA, is a single mom for two wonderful young girls, volunteers within her community and still manages to race as an age group athlete at an international level. |

Suzanne Nuccitelli, Stellar Fit LLC
Contact: suzanne.stellarfit@gmail.com Suzanne is a USA Triathlon Level I and Youth & Junior Certified Coach and a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. Suzanne has always been a “runner” as a means of coping with an overly scheduled and hectic life. She came to triathlon late in life, starting her first season when she turned 40. That first season on a bike she borrowed from a neighbor 8 years ago, was life changing. Suzanne became enthralled with learning how the body worked and how to improve herself as an athlete. This led to her returning to school to take classes such as anatomy and physiology, obtaining her personal trainer certification and her triathlon coaching certification. Not only did she want to learn how to train her own body better, she wanted to spread the joy and enthusiasm of triathlon and any related exercise to others. While Suzanne has coached all levels of individual clients to reach their triathlon goals, her favorite athletes are the ones brand new to the sport who do not see themselves as athletes. She also enjoys using triathlon to help kids stay active in a fun and positive manner. Suzanne has also coached event specific triathlon training classes at the YMCA of Northwest Austin and private, small group classes. In addition to triathlon coaching, Suzanne coaches a City of Austin, summer recreational swim team (kids aged 6-17). |
