Nick Owen is King Midas himself. Everything he touches turns to gold. However that’s where the parallels end, for as King Midas succumbed to his own hubris and a rotten heart, Nick’s is a heart of gold. He consistently considers the whole athlete, and it’s a relationship. It’s a connection that is anything but transactional. Nick may not be aware of the seismic impact he has made on me, but it’s one that goes beyond my athletic ability. He is invested on all levels with all athletes he coaches. I cannot thank him enough for all the amazing guidance and support on and off the bike. I plan for this story to have many more chapters!
