On Your Left - Episode #25: Coaches’ Corner with Mary Swayze

In this special Coaches’ Corner episode of On Your Left, Matt Clem sits down with Mary Swayze, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Board-Certified Orthopedic Specialist, and Level 2 USA Triathlon Coach. This is not surface-level advice, this is real, earned insight from someone who has lived it at a high level. Mary brings over a decade of clinical experience and elite endurance performance to the table. A former Division I soccer player at Ole Miss and a three-time Ironman World Championship finisher in Kona, she now coaches athletes full-time out of Longmont, Colorado. She understands both sides of the equation, how to push performance and how to protect the body so you can keep showing up. This conversation cuts straight to what matters: how to train smarter instead of just harder, how to avoid the injuries that quietly derail progress, and how the right coaching can compress years of trial and error into a clear path forward. If you’ve been stuck, plateaued, or constantly restarting because of setbacks, this episode will challenge how you approach your training. If you’ve ever thought about hiring a coach, this is the episode that will either validate that decision or expose why you’ve been holding yourself back.
