Julie Hudetz brings both experience and enthusiasm to the Wenzel Coaching Program. With 15 years of racing experience under her belt, including four years with the Saturn Cycling Team, Julie has been recognized numerous times as a strong climber and all around rider.

Introduced to cycling with the hopes of becoming a triathlete, Julie actually began her pro career off the road, racing mountain bikes for Team Jamis in 1994 and 1995. From then on, Julie's racing career has become strongly influenced by the concepts and tactics of the Wenzels, as both a teammate of Kendra's in 1996 and under the direction of René during her career with Team Saturn from 1997-2000.

Julie balances her coaching and racing along with being a mom to her nine year-old daughter. After a nine month hiatus in 1998 during her pregnancy, Julie returned to the pro peloton just eight weeks after giving birth, and not only continued her individual success, but helped Team Saturn attain the title of the world's number one ranked team in 1999.

In her coaching Julie has worked with beginning racers as well as coached a master woman to a national championship in the 30-34 age group. The uniqueness of being both a professional athlete and a mother, coupled with the idea of staying active and healthy during pregnancy, inspires Julie to use her experience and knowledge to work with other women athletes (as well as men) who either have children or would like to start a family. She also holds a personal trainer certification from the National Council of Strength and Fitness (NCSF).

Since retiring from the road racing circuit Julie has ventured into other athletic endeavors. She now competes in adventure races, running races, triathlons, mountain bike races and snowshoe events. In 2006 she represented the USA in the Winter World Triathlon Championships in Norway. In 2002 she won the Breckenridge 10 mile trail run, and was 2^nd at the Colorado 10K Championships in Denver.  She was also one of a three-person team winning both the Boulder Urban Adventure Race and the Kokopelli Adventure Race.

 Julie is usually on the go but almost always has her cell phone with her.  She enjoys coaching and will always make time for her clients. Although she loved the life of a professional athlete, and after years of prodding from her mother, she finally got a “real” job.  She works as the Director of Franchise Support for Intelligent Office. She is able to use her coaching skills in the business arena as well as she trains all new franchisees on how to run their business. She is very skilled at “multi-tasking” and her passion for working with people and helping them achieve their goals makes her an excellent coach!

Julie remains a student of the sport of cycling and is very familiar with the philosophies of the Wenzel Coaching Program and feels that she has learned from the best when it comes to the ins and outs of bike racing. She looks forward to sharing this wisdom by coaching and encouraging others in the sport of cycling to help them realize their full potential as athletes. She can assist you with road racing, mountain bike racing, running, adventure racing and triathalon training
