Lynn Faust

Following her recovery from cancer, Lynn entered the world of endurance sports through a transformative gift—a road bike from her husband after completing chemotherapy. What started as a passion for cycling quickly grew into a lifelong pursuit.

As a former educator, Lynn views coaching and athletic development through the lens of continuous learning and strong personal connections. Her philosophy centers on intentional planning, consistency, communication, and ongoing adaptability. Rather than viewing setbacks as roadblocks, she treats them as valuable opportunities to uncover limiters, learn, and grow.

Lynn enjoys working with athletes across generations, from developing NICA student-athletes to master athletes who still have goals to chase and limits to test. Age never diminishes ambition.

Philosophy

We're all a work in progress. We're all becoming something stronger. We're making diamonds! The goal isn't to avoid the pressure. It's to become something extraordinary because of what we do with it. Time to make a diamond.
