JULZ DEL VISCIO  is an Austin-based coach who began her triathlon career while balancing the demands of being a full-time student. That experience shaped her understanding of the importance of balancing training, work, and life—something she brings into every coaching relationship.

Julz believes the athlete-coach relationship is one of the most critical factors in triathlon and running success. She prioritizes open communication, meeting athletes where they are, and building strong, trust-based connections. No goal is too big or too small—her focus is helping athletes unlock their potential and enjoy the process along the way.

At the core of Julz’s coaching philosophy is viewing sport as a lifestyle. She emphasizes the importance of “the process,” teaching athletes not only how to prepare for race day but how to enjoy every step leading up to it. She specializes in guiding athletes through milestone achievements such as their first half Ironman, half marathon, or marathon—and works with experienced athletes ready to chase new PRs.

From Coach Natasha:

"I approached Julz after identifying her talent for sharing her knowledge of the sport in a very accessible way. At the same time, her coach, Coach Mike, identified that Julz would make an incredible coach with how she was approaching her own training, and through the questions she was asking and observations she was making throughout the process.

She has already served as an inspiration and resource for so many young and new triathletes getting into the sport. She is going to be an incredible asset to our coaching team with her energy, personality, and excitement for the sport of triathlon."
