Heart: by Tim Sheeper
For over 20 years Tim Sheeper has coached athletes of all ages at the beginner, intermediate, and elite levels. Tim's passion for building a community of multisport athletes resulted in the formation of Team Sheeper in the mid 1990's.
Tim has been competing in triathlons for more than 25 years and has been racing in running competitions since the age of 8. While Tim has competed at the age group level, he has competed as a pro triathlete since the late 80's and has no plans of stopping.
Tim's mission in life is to encourage and motivate people to live a life full of activity — strengthening both the body and the mind. He is interested in enabling the discovery that one is capable of doing much more in life than thought possible.
Tim also makes family a priority. He has three children who are active in sports and his wife Lisa is herself a champion swimmer and team advocate. Tim's interest in developing whole-person athletes extends to including families in Team Sheeper activities and supporting members' personal commitments.
