BRADEN BONESTEEL discovered his love for endurance sports as a recreational athlete following high school. After competing in various endurance events, he entered the world of triathlon after signing up with NVDM for his first Ironman in 2022—an experience that ignited not only a passion for the sport but a drive to continuously explore his physical and mental limits. A true student of the sport, Braden is dedicated to constantly learning, evolving, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible both as an athlete and a coach.

As a competitive age-group triathlete and committed coach, Braden believes triathlon is more than just swim, bike, run—it’s a lifestyle and a vehicle for personal transformation. He champions a holistic approach that balances physical performance, mental resilience, nutrition, recovery, and long-term sustainability. Braden is passionate about helping athletes not only achieve their goals, but also discover confidence, purpose, and a deeper sense of self through the process.

He is committed to guiding athletes of all levels with personalized programming, intentional structure, and unwavering support—whether their goal is to set a PR, finish their first race, or change their life through the sport.
