Owen Shott, Head Coach

Meet Coach Frederick “Owen” Shott

Originally from the small town of Inverness, Florida, Owen moved to Jacksonville in 1999 on a track and field scholarship to FSCJ. Now, 25 years later, he has become a respected name in the local and national endurance sports scene.

Coach Owen has claimed numerous victories in running, triathlon, and cycling races throughout Jacksonville, along with multiple state and national championship titles. His athletic journey has even taken him to the world stage, where he proudly represented the United States at the World Championships in Albi, France.

Owen is the first to say he didn’t achieve these successes alone. He credits his growth to the coaches and athletes who supported him along the way. He firmly believes that athletes shouldn’t coach themselves just as surgeons don’t operate on themselves.

With over two decades of experience, Coach Owen has successfully guided runners, cyclists, and triathletes of all levels from first-time 5K finishers to Ironman competitors and Boston/Kona qualifiers. Whether your goal is to set a personal record at a local race or reach the starting line of a world-class event, he has a personalized plan for you.
