Who I Am
I’m Sydney — an endurance and adventure athlete coach, former Team USA triathlete/duathlete, engineer, and founder of SaltMVMT. I didn’t inherit an outdoor lifestyle; I built it through grit, curiosity, and movement.
Endurance sport became my foundation as I grew up around addiction. Along the way it has led me into the IronMan scene, 100+ mile bike races, ultramarathons, multi-day bikepacking missions, and a ranking in among the top 20 U23 triathletes in the world.
Sport became the doorway to a bigger, braver life.
These days, you’ll most likely find me trail running in the Columbia River Gorge, surfing the PNW, gravel riding, or skating at my favorite parks.
I coach endurance and adventure athletes who want more: strength, freedom, adaptability, and resilience.
Why I Started SaltMVMT
SaltMVMT exists to help all humans - espeically women - develop strength, durability, and confidence in Sport & in Life.
When women feel strong outside, everything expands — self-trust, purpose, community, and the connection we feel to the natural world. Movement changes people, and people change the world.
Adventure has no expiration date.
It doesn’t end when you hit 30.
It doesn’t end when you change careers or life chapters.
It doesn’t end at motherhood.
A woman’s athletic identity can grow deeper and more powerful throughout her lifetime — and my mission is to support that evolution.
Philosophy
Curiosity over perfection.
Movement should expand your world, not shrink it. Curiosity keeps training playful and adaptive, allowing you to grow into the athlete you’re becoming—not the one you think you “should” be.
Durability.
Your body is your vehicle through nature. Build it to last. When we move well, nourish ourselves, and feel strong from the inside out, we naturally become more magnetic in our lives—confidence shows up.
Engineering meets intuition.
I blend physics, biomechanics, and endurance science with the lived experience of someone who learned every outdoor sport from scratch. I was not raised in a mountain or ocean culture—I sought it out, piece by piece. That mix of analytical thinking and embodied wisdom shapes every program I build.
Lifelong learning.
I’m still building. I’m committed to ongoing education through training, mentorship, books, podcasts, and staying open to new perspectives. I don’t believe a good coach clings to fixed beliefs. A good coach evolves, stays curious, listens deeply, and remains a student of both the sport and human physiology.
Purpose-driven movement.
When we move better, we feel better—and when we feel better, we treat ourselves, others, and the planet with more intention. My mission is to help women develop the physical freedom and emotional resilience to explore and protect the natural world for a lifetime.
