Morgan Despres

Morgan earned her bachelor’s degree in exercise science from Texas Christian University, followed by a master’s degree in exercise science from the University of West Florida. She is a USA Swimming certified coach and ACSM clinical exercise physiologist. Morgan has experience coaching swimmers of various ages and skill levels, including age group swimmers, NCAA DII swimmers, masters swimmers, and triathletes. 

Her coaching philosophy centers on building strong foundations for success both in sport and in life. She aims to help athletes develop confidence, resilience, and autonomy that extend far beyond competition. Morgan doesn’t believe there is a true “one-size-fits-all” formula for athletic success. She relies on science-based approaches to build structured and individualized training plans that meet each athlete where they are and help them to achieve their full potential.

Throughout her athletic career, Morgan competed as a swimmer at both the NCAA Division I and II levels. During her graduate year, she earned Second Team All-American and Scholastic All-American honors. After wrapping up her career as a collegiate swimmer, Morgan began endurance running, and has since competed in 5 half marathons and one full marathon. She has not yet ventured into cycling, but I am sure that is coming at some point in the near future.

In her free time, Morgan enjoys reading, spending time with friends, or, when the weather allows, relaxing at the beach. She is excited to get involved and help athletes achieve their highest potential in their respective sports.
