Scott came into our family’s life by way of a fellow athlete. After communicating with him online and then speaking with him, it was immediately apparent that he would be, not only an incredible coach, but a friend to us. Para Endurance is the perfect name for Scott’s mission as he is there to help his athletes see everything through to the end goal.
Jason Millsaps
I had the privilege to be coached by Scott Bennefield for a year as he helped me prepare for my very first triathlon and first full Ironman. Scott shared with me his wealth of knowledge on how to train properly, tapering, nutrition, supplements, products, creating for me a great training plan and more.
Christian Chavez
Christian is a visually impaired athlete from San Antonio, TX. He is a USAT Paratriathlon Nationals Qualifier in 2025. He has been selected to the resident program for TEAM USA Paratriathlon at the Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO for 2026. This will put him on path towards competing at the Paralympics in LA 28.
Alex Roerick
Alex has been involved in the world of triathlons since 2019, and early on his training was riddled with injuries and limited improvement.
Anna Kuuttila
Coach Scott agreed to work with me when I had virtually zero experience with triathlon, and I came to him with my goal of doing a Half Ironman race in eight months (when I had only done one sprint triathlon before). I was not comfortable on a bike at all and definitely wasn't comfortable in open water, and mentioned both of those things to him up front, which he agreed to help me work on.
Cindy Russell
He's not only knowledgeable, professional, caring and challenging, in his coaching style but he is understanding, flexible, giving, inspiring and encouraging!
Bob Morrison
With Scott, the weekend long rides were great. Saw a drastic reduction in my Tramway climb times! He also got me to the point where I actually enjoyed my road biking versus just bearing through it as I’ve done on past sprint-triathlons.
Ryan Tibbitt
Scott has helped me become a better swimmer through drills and video analysis. With his coaching I completed my first Olympic distance triathlon.
Sagi Granot
Scott, the Ironman Pastor, helped me become a Triathlete. He knows me on a personal level and understands my goals and my abilities.
Jannelle Brookhouse
I've learned techniques from Scott that helps me to maintain performance in my swimming abilities and strengthen my core. The changes we made last a lifetime.
Deborah Renteria
If someone was looking for a coach I would direct them to Scott, he is great a coach! He is understanding, knowledgeable, approachable, soft spoken and has a BIG Heart for everybody! Scott has a gift of giving back.
Carrie O’Hara
Scott will prepare you to do a triathlon much better than reading a book or learning from your friends. His coaching style is accepting of any type of athlete.
Nancy Hansen
Scott had a terrific influence on me as I felt confident that he was helping me prepare for the race in a variety of ways. He helped me with specific stretching exercises for warm ups and cool downs to promote healthy running and prevent injuries.
Darren Ice, MSgt, USAF
Scott was referred to me by an Ironman Finisher, so that should carry some weight right there. However, being coached by Scott is so much more than just finishing triathlons.
Commander Gary Heatherly, Chaplain, USN
Great preparation and training for my first triathlon, a sprint off road Xterra. My training and instruction were spot on.

Joe Marino
Scott provided useful information regarding my bike trainer workouts. Prior to Scott I rode in front of the tv without a purpose. Now I get a lot out of every trainer ride.
