Brian grew up in Donelson, TN. and began a competitive swimming career at a young age. In 2005, Brian completed his first Sprint Distance Triathlon and was hooked. Over the last 10 years Brian has competed in many road races, 5K, 10K, and half marathons, more than 30 Sprint and Olympic distance triathlons in 7 different states as well as several century rides. He has qualified for the USAT Age Group National Championships on five different occasions.
After retiring from a 30 year career of active duty in the Coast Guard, Brian and his wife settled in Murray, KY. Four of their five children were collegiate athletes, and he is hopeful at least one of his five granddaughters will be a triathlete and compete in the 2032 Olympics. For the past 6 years Brian has been coaching Swim Bike Run Murray. He also coaches the Henry County High School Swim Team. Brian has coached athletes ranging in age from 12 to 65 which have included the Elite Youth and Junior Nationals, Age Group Nationals, Ironman, and athletes who just wanted to have fun and finish a tri.

He understands commitment and the balance required to make work, training, and family blend together for success. Whether you hope to finish your first sprint triathlon or stand on the podium at your next long course event, Coach Brian will help you achieve your personal goal.
I started working with Brian a few years ago, mainly with my swim. I eventually hired him to coach me in all three disciplines of triathlon. Brian is a good coach. He figured out how to coach me personally, somethings worked better than others and he picked up on that. I have completed several short course triathlons, two 70.3 Ironman events, and am presently training with Brian for IM Louisville. I highly recommend Coach Brian…– Jim M.
I began training with Coach Brian last year. I had no idea of what I would need to do to prepare for a triathlon. Since then I have completed 3 sprint triathlons and this year plan to compete in 2 Olympic distance events and 70.3 in Augusta.– Kelly B.
Coming from a swimming and soccer background, I needed help learning the skills of cycling and endurance running. With Coach Brian's help I took 3rd place in my age group at my first Olympic Distance event and have stood on the podium at three other events since then.– Caitlin W.
Coach Brian Williams has helped me reach all my goals. With his help I have qualified for the USA Age Group National Triathlon every year I have competed.– Gene G.
