Solwind's owner, Dan Jones, began his triathlon journey as an athlete in 2017, after being a long time runner and mid-field soccer player since his early youth days. After three half marathons and multiple triathlon Age Group podium finishes, Dan hired a personal coach, which increased his focus and accelerated his performance achievements that included invitations to USA Triathlon National events and embracing Ironman 70.3 challenges.
After a short time in multisport, Coach Dan decided he needed to give back to the community, and began mentor coaching with Palmetto TRIbe Youth & Junior triathlon team in 2019. Hooked after seeing so many smiling faces throughout the season, Coach Dan invested in multisport education and earned his USAT Level I coaching certification.
Coach Dan was enamored with the athletes commitment to be #bettertogether and #relentelessforwardprogress after completing a virtual and modified 2020 season, and continued his passion by receiving his USAT Level II Youth & Junior (Elite) certification. Coach Dan extracts the best from each and every athlete, while having fun!
When Coach Dan is not supporting clients he can be found cheering his three kids in soccer, cross country, and basketball, and supporting the military as an Engineer. Coach Dan is always seeking light-filled Lowcountry adventures.
