He possesses an in depth knowledge of his sport and communicates both fundamental skills and advanced tactics that serve athletes of all levels. He fosters a team atmosphere but still manages to somehow know what I need individually. He makes everyone feel a sense of pride in their efforts. Jamey is attentive and approachable, positive and enthusiastic. He has made me a faster, stronger athlete and this is only the beginning of the journey."

"I came to Jamey with a busy work and family schedule and small windows during the week for workouts. He helped me to get in the most effective training in the limited time that I had. He knew how to push me just enough and his enthusiasm is infectious. Now I'm feeling stronger and more fit than ever!"

“Results speak louder than words…..after signing up with TriYon, I improved my Latta time by 13 minuets and took 7 minuets off at Lake Norman. Now Jamey is focusing on my running. Last year at this time I was capped at running 3 to 4 miles. This past Sunday I ran 12. There is certainly value in working with a coach that knows the program. Thanks Jamey!”

"Jamey Yon has raced at the top level in every triathlon distance and has transformed himself into a great coach. Jamey dedicates himself to his athletes and his excellent work ethic delivers top quality, timely service.  His experience and knowledge of triathlon, nutrition, and racing over exceeded my expectation of a coach.  I was able to accomplish my dream of finishing an Ironman with the guidance and support from Jamey."
-Rodger Rau
 
"Jamey is the rare elite athlete who can tell you in plain English how he does what he does. On some fundamental level the challenge of getting to the starting line and getting to the finish line is the same whether you're an Olympian or a beginner. Jamey understands training and racing at this fundamental level. Over the long term of training and the short term of racing he knows when it's going to hurt, where it hurts, why it hurts and how you're going to feel about it. For more than two decades Jamey has learned the hard way how to get the most out of his ability, and these lessons inform his coaching. I'm not saying you'll ever be as fast as Jamey, but he can help you find your best performance."

“I have always been impressed with Jamey’s performances in triathlon and running. When you work with him as a coach, you will be equally impressed with the type of person he is. His training programs have a lot of variety which helps you get through them easier. Throw in his expertise in nutrition and sport specific strength training, and you will be on your way to a personal best while working together. From a 5k to an Ironman, Tri Yon gets my highest recommendation.”
