About Superfly

When I got into the sport I was very overweight, and could not finish an Olympic Distance race. However, I was eager, and excited to do better! I sought out all the best advice I could. Hired experts, hired coaches — even partnered with Joe Friel to create Training Bible Coaching. I transformed myself into a 9x Kona finisher, but more importantly learned SO MUCH along the way. There are things you can learn from books, and there are things you must experience. Rarely do coaches have both. Even rarer, are coaches who can communicate and pass on that information. That's where SuperFly Coaching began.

About Our Coaches

We look for coaches who take coaching seriously as a profession. We work as a team. Every SuperFly athlete has the entire network of coaches as a resource. We have coached Olympians, Kona Qualifiers, National Qualifiers, first-timers and everything in-between. We work best with athletes who are looking for a coach to meet them where they are in their journey and can work together to improve.

Adam Zucco (SuperFly Coaching) has played a large role in my development into a professional athlete. I have been with Adam now for about 8 years, and in that time I have gone from just a young triathlete to one of the top US Male triathletes. Writing a workout program is one thing, but the attention to detail and knowledge that he has put into short-term and long-term development plan  has certainly made the difference in my training. And while he already knows a great deal about the science as well as the practical application of training, he is not afraid to seek advice from some of the best minds in the sport. I have been with TrainingBible and Adam for my entire triathlon career, and I plan to continue to use their wisdom to help me have a great 2015 and beyond!

I contacted SuperFly Coaching because I was frustrated with my
stagnant marathon times and nagging injuries. Adam Zucco agreed to help. In the first 9 months he erased 40 minutes from my marathon time. He has since coached me through four half and two full ironman triathlons. I have achieved a PR in my last two marathons. Through all of this, I have not had one injury.

Unexpected turns in my life led me to SuperFly. I was comfortable with my previous coaches and didn't know how much I would benefit by making a change. However, I am beyond grateful for being part of the SuperFly family. My training and racing have gone to another level. My weakness is no longer crippling and my strengths are only getting stronger. Beyond that, I know I am backed by a team that believes in me and that is everything. Adam knows what he is doing. Having done sport for a long time, he is not only familiar with training needed to race well, but he understands the mindset that is needed to be successful. I would recommend SuperFly to any athlete that wants to be successful/improve.

SuperFly training programs brought a different type of intensity to training. Short work-outs were incredibly challenging but doable.  Longer work-outs still had variety with technique work, drills, and various sets that made time go by more quickly than just going for long rides.  I was able to focus on 1-day at a time and not think about what I needed to do.  I'm not going to lie - some workouts on paper were very intimidating - but I surprised myself by the ability to complete them.  Ultimately, this built trust that I could do what was provided and I continue to set PR after PR.  Officially a Boston Qualifier and Kona Qualifier now!  Good coaches will be honest and help you realize untapped potential or bring you back down to reality if overzealous.  They'll encourage you to toe the line with the BEST ATHLETES AROUND - as competing with the BEST makes you BETTER. There is something to learn from every experience, no matter how successful or heartbreaking it is.

Adam Zucco began coaching me when I was an extremely overweight beginner triathlete in 2009. He taught me how to swim, bike and run and through his expert guidance I completed my first Olympic triathlon in 2009. This is a feat that seemed quite impossible less than 12 months prior. Adam studies his athletes and the most progressive coaching techniques in triathlon and beyond. In my case an extreme level of skill and a deep repository of knowledge was required of the coach. In addition to being a beginner athlete, my limiter is that I am asplenic. If my training load is too high, I will quickly fall ill. If it is too light, I don’t progress. Adam handles this balance with the skill of a professional. Adam gradually developed my fitness and functional strength growing me into an athlete with over twenty 70.3 finishes and 6 Ironman finishes. His work culminated in a Kona qualification in 2013 and a successful Hawaii Ironman in 2014. I recommend that you consider Adam for your highest level of coaching classification.

Before hiring SuperFly Coaching, I had only done 1 triathlon, a sprint. I had a new baby and wanted to drop the weight. I was hooked and needed someone to help me get fit, train smart, and help me achieve longer distance races. In 3 years, Tanya took me from a sprint triathlon, to a 70.3 (I’ve now done 3), to a full Ironman! I stayed healthy and was able to balance everything in my life. I am currently sticking to 70.3 races and hope to do another 140.6. I consider myself a novice- there’s so much room for improvement. Besides my husband and son, Tanya is my biggest cheerleader! Balancing a full time job, young child, and husband that travels while training for triathlon isn’t easy, but Tanya is always supportive!

Coming from a coaching platform that was internet based and very cookie cutter, I didn’t think I was a good enough athlete to have this level of coaching. My coach took time to learn about me as both a person and an athlete. He listened to my goals and understood the other demands in my life to create a plan that matches both. I have used Adam as a coach for several years. It is rare that I ever repeat a workout. I'm always challenged in new ways and feel like I am getting better as an athlete. His structured approach enables me to continue to build fitness in a sustainable manner.

If you have a goal of improvement, there is only so much you can accomplish without some type of coaching. SuperFly offers structure, mechanics improvement, and encouragement.

I was not sure I would like remote coaching, but Adam provides a ton of experience to share with his athletes. He helps you to identify your goals and then provides a realistic plan to achieve them. He knows how to challenge his athletes, and he knows how to keep training fun and interesting. And his enthusiasm for triathlon is infectious.

Coach Adam got me to PRs in all 3 disciplines in a matter of a few months. The workouts were hard but at the same time just the right amount of intensity. He helped improve my overall swimming, biking and running a lot more than I thought possible. I am really grateful for his help! He really knows what he is doing.
Jose Centeno

Adam offers connections to other athletes, coaches, and experts in triathlon. He has an ability to help you learn the why behind certain workouts and the training approach, and he offers unwavering support through some difficult periods. He is committed to my future as an athlete. Adam clearly cares about his athletes, has an immense knowledge base in the sport, and is extremely responsive in communicating with his athletes.
