MTTM Coach
Courtney Daniels
Courtney Daniels discovered endurance sports through pure grit, starting her journey in 2017 with little more than determination and a willingness to embrace hard challenges. From completing her first marathon with no formal training structure to transforming herself into a high-performing endurance athlete, Courtney knows firsthand what it takes to unlock true potential.
Through structured coaching and intentional training, Courtney rapidly elevated her performance to an elite level. In just one year, she broke the 4-hour marathon barrier, completed IRONMAN Florida in 12:31, earned 7th in her age group, achieved All World Athlete status, and followed it up with an impressive 11:43 finish at IRONMAN Texas just 4 months later.
Courtney’s coaching philosophy is built on communication, consistency, and empowering athletes to train with confidence and purpose. She specializes in helping athletes, especially women in triathlon, break through uncertainty, build strength, and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach. Her approach combines real-world experience, expert guidance, and unwavering support to help every athlete perform at their highest level.
