The Koa Sports Podcast

On this episode of the Koa Sports Podcast we had the pleasure of sitting down with the Co-Founder of TrainingPeaks, Dirk Friel! A long conversation and insight into life as a pro racer in the 90’s, against the likes of Armstrong and Hincape, how TrainingPeaks came to be over a few beers in a bar to what it has become today. Is there a more influential surname that Friel in the endurance industry? A great story a celebration of success. We hope you enjoy!#bethewarriorwww.koasportscoaching.com
