What is the Paragon Pro Project Powered by Ancira Automotive?

The mission of the Paragon Pro Project, powered by Ancira, is to develop elite athletes into champions. Our objective is to provide elite athletes the coaching, resources, and training environment to achieve success in sport at the highest level.

​

The Paragon Pro Project is a Daily Training Environment (DTE) program in San Antonio, TX. Athletes accepted into this program will get the opportunity to train with other elite athletes under the guidance of USA Triathlon Level II coach, Mark Saroni:

​

"I first came to San Antonio for a 1 week training camp in the summer of 2007. The next year, I came back for 2 weeks, then a month, then the whole summer, and I finally moved here after I graduated college to pursue my dream of being a professional triathlete. I've grown to love this city and the training mecca I believe it is for elite athletes. My goal with the Paragon Pro Project powered by Ancira is to give you the opportunity to bet on yourself. Triathlon is hard and competing as a pro is really hard. But it's 100% worth it and I wouldn't change the experiences I've had for anything. Let's do this 👊."
