Molly Balfe

About

Molly has been an athlete since she first pulled off her water wings as a kid and joined her local USS team. She has been competing in triathlons and coaching for over fifteen years. A firm believer that access to sport participation is a critical need for young people, she spent a year providing free swim instruction and water safety for New York City public school students before moving to Oregon work in school-based health promotion. She now coaches full time and co-runs Campfire Endurance.

Coaching

Molly is passionate about triathlon as a lifestyle. Time and distance goals are great motivators, but what keeps people in this sport is a genuine enjoyment of training and racing. She uses science-based training and empathy-led communication to help her athletes exceed their goals. She enjoys working with athletes of all ages and ability levels. A lifelong swimmer, she specializes in helping athletes improve their form and gain comfort in the water.
