Our approach to coaching.
Our approach to coaching is to help you achieve your goals for triathlons. By doing an initial athlete questionnaire this will give us a better idea of what your goals are, what key races you want to do and what distance you are focusing on, what your strengths and weaknesses are, your athletic background or non-athletic background, your age etc. Then will monitor your training on an ongoing process by keeping track of your workouts via the athlete tracking software, emails, phone calls and actual coaching at the practices.
