Rick Wemple is a Running Coach; Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, including a specialization in Behavior Change; and a Mental Skills Coach. A native of Dayton, Ohio, Rick started his career as a track & field athlete at Yale University where he earned a degree in Biology. Wemple held school records in the mile (4:04.54) and the 1500 meters (3:42.09) as well as the Distance Medley Relay and 4x800 meter relay, and earned All-American honors in cross country in 1991. Rick earned a master’s degree in Exercise Science from Ohio State University in 1994 and returned to Yale to work in an exercise physiology lab and volunteer coach for the cross country and track & field teams. Rick coached at Brown University from 1998-2005 before moving to Chicago to coach at Lewis University (2005-06) and finally Loyola University (2006-2011). He has coached school record holders, conference champions and All-Americans in various track events and cross country. Since 2011, Rick has run his own coaching business which includes personal training, running and mental performance coaching. His mental performance coaching is based on the tools and techniques he benefitted from to foster and grow his own self-esteem and confidence that resulted in the growth and success of his private coaching business. The basic foundation is identifying all of our gifts/talents/treasures inside us, and by affirming those on a regular basis, seeing our decisions and actions lead us towards inner peace, fulfillment and abundance.   For more information check out www.Coachrick.info or email [email protected].
