“Coach Cindi has been my coach for 2 seasons and it is because of her I have reached my triathlon goals each season, (the biggest was finishing IM Wisconsin 07 in 12:44:37).  During practice, she creates this atmosphere where you will push your limits and before you know it - your strength, speed and endurance has doubled.   Her mantra of “Train Smart, Race Hard” is the outline of her training plans and her emphasis on training smart always gives me the confidence I need when I hear the gun go off on race day morning.”

“Coach Cindi has all the attributes of a great coach. Under her individual guidance the past two years, my confidence, fitness and skills have all soared, while my finishing times have consistently fallen. Simply stated, I never would have achieved three age-group triathlon podium finishes in 2007 without her!
Cindi encourages you to set goals and follow a training program specifically geared to achieve them. Her workouts have a clear purpose, are challenging and still incorporate some fun to keep things light. She is a clear communicator with the special ability to tailor workouts to your age and racing goals. Cindi is a motivator, mentor, leader, competitor, teacher and a caring, humble friend.”

“Training with Cindi has given me the confidence to get out there and go for it! She has helped me become more efficient with my technique whether it be in the pool, on the bike or the run. She is a great leader and a wonderful support system for her clients. Her experience as an athlete has helped her connect to and relate with her clients. Training with Cindi and her team pushed me to accomplish far more than I would have on my own.”

“Cindi Bannink’s experience as an elite athlete and passion for the sport of triathlon reflects her coaching and teaching style. I feel she truly takes a genuine interest in her students, believes in them as aspiring athletes by making each one feel important, and giving them confidence in order to excel to that next level. Cindi’s commitment, energy, motivation, and encouragement were key in achieving my personal goals as a swimmer during my first year as a triathlete. I look forward to working toward the challenging goals set for the 2008 season. Thanks Cindi, for all you do!”

“My husband and I joined Madison Multisport last year while preparing for Ironman Wisconsin 2007.  We spent the two years prior training for our first 70.3 and Ironman Wisconsin 2006.  We had an excellent training program which prepared us well for our events, but when we joined Madison Multisport we found an important element that had been missing-a team atmosphere.  Being part of a team brought our training to a new level.  We found ourselves training smarter and pushing ourselves more than we had on our own.  It also gave us an opportunity to train with athletes of all ages, abilities and race goals which was a terrific experience.  The most important element to Madison Multisport was the hands on approach of Coach Cindi.  Every week we trained four times together and Cindi was there to lead each and every session.  Her accessibility and guidance have been invaluable.  There isn’t an athlete out there that wouldn’t benefit from her guidance and her training approach.”
