How to choose a Triathlon coach
Choosing a Triathlon Coach
Article by Daniel Bain
Every athlete has unique performance goals that need to be approached with a customised coaching solution and selecting a coach that's suitable for you is an important decision.
You should always consider the following before you choose a coach
- What weaknesses do I need to work on & what sort of coach do i need to assist me?
- Does the coach explain concepts in a way that I understand?
- Does their coaching service offer the full range of sessions that I need?
- Is the coach offering a "one size fits all" program or a customised solution?
- What are the educational background & qualifications of the coach?
- Do I want a coach with a high level of experience?
- Do I want a coach with a high level of technical knowledge of the sport?
- Do I want a coach with a high level technical understanding of the human anatomy & biomechanics?
- Do their current or ex-athletes have a history of injury or overtraining?
- Lastly, always ask the coach's current and ex-athletes about what they think of the coach's strengths / weakness
