BE. A. BADASS. EVERY DAY.
When we have the courage to chase our own "impossible" with the support of a badass community, we are unstoppable.
We are Team BABE.
Every woman is a BABE - every pace, every size, every ability, every background.
Badass women are busy women – we get it and live it, too! Sport should enhance your life rather than be another stressor. As such, we work with you to find what fits your life and will get you to your goals in the most efficient manner possible. Whether you geek out over training data or prefer to leave the number crunching to us, we will meet you where you’re at and help you get the most out of your training time. We also believe in working with you to develop your mental game, form and efficiency, and adjusting as needed to keep you on track.
We’d love to answer any questions you have about coaching, training, or what it looks like for you to achieve your impossible.
Head Coach & Founder, Team BABE
Race Director, Tampa Bay BABES Triathlon
As a certified triathlon coach, strength coach, and health education specialist, Coach Coral brings a holistic approach to triathlon and multisport coaching. She has worked with swimmers and triathletes in a variety of settings since 2008.
Whether you’re tackling your first sprint tri or hunting down a slot at the world championships, Coral is here to support and guide you as you chase down your goals and uncover your inner badass.
Coral grew up swimming on the Florida Gulf coast, cheering her parents on at local races and swearing she’d never, ever race a triathlon (running? no thanks!). After completing her first super sprint triathlon at 14, she was hooked and continued to race alongside her mom – who still races as a BABE – through high school and at the collegiate level with the University of Florida TriGators.
While living in Italy, she fell in love with the mental challenge of long course racing and continues to focus on half/full triathlon, open water swims, endurance cycling and prone paddling.
When Coral isn’t coaching or training for her next event, you’ll find her paddling, testing out cookie recipes, or spending time with her 2-year-old son, Kai.
Coach, Trail/Ultra & Triathlon
Britt is an accomplished endurance athlete passionate about helping others conquer their big, scary goals. A certified endurance coach with a background as a triathlete and trail and ultrarunner, Britt brings
nearly 20 years of endurance athletic experience to Team BABE Athletics.
Britt's athletic resume includes multiple triathlon finishes from sprint to Ironman distance, plus numerous ultramarathons on the trail and road. Her love of long, sweaty adventures in beautiful places has seen her successfully navigate some of the most challenging mountain races while training from her home base in the Florida Keys. This firsthand experience gives Britt unique insights into the demands of endurance sports and the best training practices to excel in them.
Britt's coaching philosophy is rooted in her belief that every athlete has the potential to achieve greatness with the right mindset, training plan, and support system. She emphasizes individualized coaching, ensuring each athlete’s program is tailored to their specific goals, strengths, and life outside of endurance sports.
Outside of coaching, Britt continues to compete in triathlons and trail ultramarathons, and hasn’t quite given up on setting a new road 5km PR. Her #1 fan is her opinionated Bengal cat, Gator.
Coach & Community Manager
Bringing 22 years of teaching experience to Team BABE, Ironman Certified coach Amy completed her first triathlon in August of 2018. Like so many triathletes, Amy came to the multi-sport world from the running world. After a stroke of genius or a touch of insanity, she decided one sport wasn't enough and picked up another two. What Amy wasn't expecting was to find a wealth of support, friendship, and camaraderie in her local triathlon community.
Since then Amy has been an integral part of the Team BABE community and has organized numerous group training and practice events for its members. She has long mentored new triathletes and supports all BABEs in finding their next level of badassery.
Amy has completed 3 marathons, several half IRONMANs, and most recently completed IRONMAN Alaska. When she's not teaching, running, going on long rides or swimming in the ocean, Amy loves camping, paddling, hiking and hanging out with her furbaby, Charlie.
Strength, Movement, & Mindset Coach
Garrett is a Coach, Author, and Naturalist based out of Clearwater, FL. He helps people master their lives with movement, mindset, and meditation. Garrett's book and signature program, Move, Breathe, Create teaches people high-performance habits to help them find peace, access their potential, and their ideal performance state.
Garrett’s coaching style is unique and performance based. He combines functional patterns, resistance training, and mindfulness to obtain maximal gain with minimal strain for his clients. His tools of choice are kettlebells, TRX, bands, and primal movement patterns. His diverse fitness background allows him to find the right movement at the right time to create customizable programs for his clients.
“I believe there is a direct correlation between striving for physical fitness and personal excellence. The mind body connection is real, and it goes both ways. Don’t exercise just for the gains, do it for what it does for the brains. I’m more than a trainer, I’m a coach. I will push you out of your comfort zone and will become your advocate for personal growth.”
The initial idea for Team B.A.B.E. Athletics was conceived during the 2018 Triathlon Brand Ambassador season. After seeing so many amazing female athletes not get selected by their favorite brands because they didn’t fit the brand image, were "just" the “average” athlete or didn’t have enough Instagram followers we thought, “Why isn’t there a team that supports ALL female athletes, has a badass vibe and provides a kickass family of support?”
Team B.A.B.E. Athletics officially launched in March 2019.
We have grown from a small online community of 15 athletes to a powerhouse community of 300+ athletes, with in-person meetups, races, and fun nearly every weekend of the year. All while retaining that tight-knit, positive, come-as-you-are family vibe that has defined the BABE experience since day 1.
In 2024, we're beyond thrilled to welcome you to race with us at the inaugural Tampa Bay BABES Triathlon. This for women, by women sprint tri at Fort Desoto Park in St. Pete, Florida carries on the strong legacy of women's triathlon in Tampa Bay.
