SHAWN BOSTAD

NASM, Performance Enhancement Specialist

Trigger Point Tech Certified

Triathlon Coach, Running Coach, Strength Coach

Shawn’s role at Pure Austin Coaching is to provide individuals with high quality Triathlon Coaching, Run Coaching, and Strength Coaching.  Shawn has a very colorful athletic background that began in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.  As a young transplant from Puerto Rico, Shawn quickly realized how integral an athletic lifestyle was when living in small-town Stevens Point.  Learning and understanding this quickly led him to start participating in everything from football, track, soccer, wrestling, weight training and even golf.  In the end, Track and Soccer won out as his primary focus.  He played competitive soccer and ran track in college and eventually started participating in Triathlons and endurance events.
He has been competing as an elite level triathlete since 1997 and has been coaching since 1999.  While in college he was co-founder of Lactic Edge;  a college based triathlon club that is still in existence.  Shawn Bostad has a degree in Foreign Languages, but his main passion lies within the athletic and coaching industries.  He is CPT and PES certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine and also maintains a Head Instructor certification through Trigger Point Technology.  He has been a swim coach since 1999 and has experience racing and coaching individuals at most distances. 
Outside of the triathlon world, Shawn regularly competitively races in ultra marathons and ultra distance events.  As stated earlier, he has a colorful background, which allows him to connect and prescribe the right kind of training for a wide range of athletes.  Shawn is ultimately excited to see people achieve their goals and is available for coaching immediately.
