Utmost Performance

Utmost Performance offers cycling coaching to riders of all ability levels. I was a part of the Florida 6A State Championship team in cross country in 1998.

If you have something you'd like to achieve on the bike Coach Mario can help you get there. I started my journey in to Endurance Sports in high school where I ran track and field and cross country. I went on to run collegiately at Florida International University and the University of North Texas. After graduating with my Master's Degree in Sport Psychology I got into cycling. I have been racing b

ikes for the better part of 15 years. I have enjoyed success on the bike having won Texas State titles in the Time Trial and Road Race. My coaching career spans 10 years where I have worked with high level athletes and teams in addition to regular folks who have goals and want to go fast. I derive great satisfaction in helping an athlete of any level chase after a goal and execute their training plan in order to do so.

I thought I knew Hotter Than Hell after racing it 10+ times Turns out, I had only seen one side of the tape Planning, Pivoting, Problem-solving. Letting go of what I couldn't control.

Hotter Than Hell 2026 taught me a lot—and I'm already thinking about how to make 2027 even better.

To every racer who showed up — thank you. This event does not exist without you.🫡🚴‍♂️💨

More suffering doesn’t always mean more speed. 🛑

We love to rush our rest periods between intervals, thinking a shorter break builds better endurance. But what if adding just two extra minutes of recovery actually makes you a faster, more resilient cyclist?

Longer rest = better lactate clearance, a true heart rate reset, and 100% quality on your next effort instead of leftover fatigue.

Don’t let your ego dictate your recovery. Protect the integrity of your intervals. 🧠⚡

From a tough mental spot at Maverick City to finding my footing at Tulsa Tough.
Sometimes the smartest career move is dropping down a field to aggressively target your weaknesses. For me, that meant turning a terrifying, torrential rain crit into a masterclass in bike handling.
Read how I overcame the mental excuses and found the rhythm again.

🚴 New Blog Post!🔥
Maverick City Crits humbled me. A tough weekend on the bike left me replaying my failures on a loop the entire drive home.
As a coach, I have all the answers for others. As an athlete, I had to learn to give those same objective answers to myself this week.
Read the full breakdown on the blog—handling the "audience trap" and resetting the mind when things go sideways.

Day 1 at the Maverick City Criterium in Norman, Oklahoma 🇺🇸🚴‍♂️
Not every race goes according to plan.
Saturday was one of those days where I knew exactly what I needed to do, but I didn't execute as well as I wanted. I gave up a little too much speed in the corners, lost some valuable positioning, and paid the price for it.
The heat was relentless, the pace was hard, and eventually I found myself off the back riding a solo time trial to the finish. The easy thing would have been to stop.
But my son was there watching.
And if there's one thing I want him to remember, it's that his dad doesn't quit. 💪
Last year I crashed on this course. This year I stayed upright and handled the technical section better than ever. That's progress.
Saturday was another opportunity to learn, improve, and race smarter.
We reset. We recover. And to the next one. 🔥
