Athlete Testimonials

---

"I’ve trained with Jason for 3 years, starting during the uncertainty of the 2020 pandemic and competing through the 2 race seasons following. His patience and effective coaching was key to my consistent improvement, and using a low-heart rate method transformed me from a middle-of-the-pack athlete to repeated top 15% finishes in long-course triathlon (140.6). He understands the complicated demands of being a mother, working full time, business travel, and the general balance of training with a real-world approach. Jason has an infectious love of our sport and is a natural encourager to anyone and everyone -  in all stages of their triathlon journey. I have immense respect for him as an athlete, his ability to instill a race-oriented mindset, his capacity to pursue stretch goals, and his desire to help others push limits. Jason is continually educating his athletes on new and different aspects of health and racing, and I value the balance between using proven methods with innovative ideas. I look forward to smashing many more personal records under his guidance! 

"Jason has been my coach for the past 18+ months to prepare me for three Xterra’s, one Olympic, two IM 70.3s, and Ironman Chattanooga.  He got me to the starting line each time injury free and ready to tackle my goals! 

Jason provided organized training plans and quality feedback. He was always accessible for questions/concerns and the occasional pep talk! I appreciated how he worked with my schedule to balance training/life.

Jason has “been there and done that” as a highly accomplished athlete. I strongly recommend him if you’re looking for a motivational and knowledgeable coach to help you achieve your goals!"

Being a part of Spears Racing Team has been an amazing experience. Jason is extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. He is a very hands on coach and is there every step of the way. I have improved in all aspects of triathlon with his help.  I recently completed my first full Ironman of 144.6 miles in 11:13 hours and because of his help I placed 5th in my age group. Looking forward to many more races with SRT and coach Jason. 

Working with Coach Jason transformed my triathlon performance! He took the time to understand my goals, my schedule, and my weaknesses/strengths and built a program that pushed me in exactly the right ways. Because my last long distance race was 7 years ago, Jason helped me build my base gradually for the inaugural 2026 Dallas-Little Elm Half Ironman and then a half marathon 4 weeks later. Following his plan helped me achieve 6th in my age group for the 70.3 and PR at the Texas Big Star half marathon! In addition, Coach Jason responded quickly to any questions and concerns I had and gave me clear, timely, and actionable feedback. I always felt that he had my back. Would I work with him again? Absolutely!

Coach Jason is amazing! I did my first triathlon about 15 years ago, and have connected with and worked with multiple coaches over the years. He was a perfect fit for what I needed -- guiding me along the way, but also listens well and answered all of the many questions I had. In 2024 he helped me train and finish my first full Ironman -- 140.6 miles!  If you are new to the sport and trying to finish, or a veteran and trying to improve your times, I'd definitely give him a call. Highly recommend and I don't say that lightly.

Jason is an incredible Coach! Extremely experienced and blew me away with his training cycles and use of the latest technology while still beginning with the basics of who you are and what your goals are. This experience was Amazing and literally a life changing experience for me. I used our training to better myself and it motivated me to establish my new career of being a Firefighter. You won’t regret choosing a race, and you will always win with Jason in your corner!

After being injured with training, deferring my race schedule, and essentially starting over again from scratch, I knew I needed something different for my training. A friend of mine referred me to SRT, and I reached out to Jason. My goal was simply to stay healthy and break 7:00 hours for a half IM distance. 16 weeks later, I was extremely confident in my fitness, felt great, and the training regimen had been spot on. Not only did I easily break 7:00 hours, I finished with a 33 min PR and hit 6:42, even with a flat tire! If you are looking for someone to take you to the next level, and get you to the start line healthy, give Spears Racing Team a go!
