Company Background

IronBrick was founded by Paul Schon as a way to spread his experience to others after developing a consistent plan to train for the Iron-distance events in which he participated through the years.

Paul is a multiple IRONMAN finisher with a background of coaching athletes of various levels of expertise including collegiate level athletes. In his time as Head Coach of the Indiana University Ski Team, Paul helped guide the team from relative obscurity to a team that finished 2nd in the Central Midwest and competed in the Midwest regional Finals against such powerhouses as Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Wisconsin-Stevens Point and Michigan Tech.

Later in life Paul chose triathlon as a way to stay fit through cross training and continues to race in at least one Iron- distance event each year. His exposure to very strong athletes that failed to achieve their potential in these races was one of his driving motivations for developing IronBrick coaching.
