For years I&#8217;ve contemplated the hobby I love (cycling) vs. furthering my education in gaining my MBA. Finally, after much personal deliberation, I have chosen the MBA.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, however, I still hold the last four (4) years with Julie as one of the best decisions I&#8217;ve made in my athletic career, which includes being a Division I NCAA athletic scholarship athlete in swimming. Julie was able to help me pull out the best possible cyclist in me with the limited training time we had available.<\/p>\n<p>Things were not always smooth and easy, but neither is life. Julie helped me to bring focus and motivation to my narrow window of training opportunities. And with a full time job and family, including two kids, we were able turn a part time athlete into a multiple podium winner in the Masters 35+ 1\/2\/3 category.<\/p>\n<p>If you train for a hobby or wish to excel in a sport while working on a slim window of time, Julie Young is your answer. She is an athlete herself, and completely understands the commitment(s) it takes to succeed. She is a leader and a motivator. She is not only a coach, but a partner. She is my friend and a valuable resource to my family and life.<\/p>\n<p>Julie, thank you for four (4) great years&#8230;I only hope that in two years after my MBA, we can continue where we left off and get some more wins.<\/p>\n<p>Your friend and advocate,<br \/>\nMatt Ream<br \/>\nCyclist &#8211; Category 2 Racer<\/p>\n<p>Notable Results w\/ Julie:<br \/>\n2nd 2009 Vacaville Grand Prix<br \/>\n1st 2009 Folsom Challenge Crit<br \/>\n1st 2009 Two Bridges Circuit Race<br \/>\n1st 2010 Modesto Crit<br \/>\n2nd 2010 Nevada City Classic<br \/>\n1st 2010 Auburn Classic Criterium<br \/>\n2nd 2011 IC3 Dash for Cash<br \/>\n2nd 2011 Folsom Cyclebration<br \/>\n3rd 2012 Tour de Nez<br \/>\n1st 2012 Sierra De Monseratt<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2012\/10\/SierraDeMonseratt.Win_.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2324\" src=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2012\/10\/SierraDeMonseratt.Win_-300x237.png\" alt=\"SierraDeMonseratt.Win_\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/SierraDeMonseratt.Win_-300x237.png 300w, http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/SierraDeMonseratt.Win_-450x356.png 450w, http:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/SierraDeMonseratt.Win_.png 667w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I had to make a personal decision, and honestly it was very tough.
