MOTQ- George Cone
Around two years ago, I was about to start a class at Energy Lab, when George Cone walked in and said something along the lines of “I’m George, I want to go to Kona. I need coaching and I want to start now.”
Mind you, I’d never met George before. I wasn’t planning on taking any new athletes either, but how could I say no to someone so decisive, determined, and motivated?
Since that day, George has come a long way. He’s improved his performance by leaps and bounds and has had very steady progression in all three sports, particularly the bike. More than that, he’s become an important member of our Atlanta Triathlon Club and Energy Lab community, giving back with his time and expertise.
Nice job to George on nabbing Member of the Quarter!
Last night at Road Runner Sports we celebrated our Member of the Quarter, George Cone. George has been a member of ATC for almost two years. He trains hard, races harder, and gives back as a bike coach on the weekends.
Here’s what some of our other members had to say about George.
“George has been an awesome addition to the long bike coaching staff! George goes over and above to make sure riders are taken care of when we are out riding. He also passes on bike knowledge and is always willing to help out during any mechanical issues on the route. Thanks George!”
– Michele Pierce
“George is always helping people at every workout. He has helped various people during bike workouts with mechanicals and any issues that come up. This guy is one of the members who makes the club a great place!”
– Dane Newman
“I’ve had the pleasure of coaching George for nearly two years. He always works hard, he never complains, and he is generous with his time helping to mentor newer athletes. He’s also an all-around outstanding athlete!”
– Bethany Rutledge
