How To Find A Triathlon Coach


By Andrew Mitchell


A combination of swimming, running and cycling are also known as triathlon, it is a very demanding activity physically. Finding a good triathlon coach can be a hard task especially during the days where races are almost due. Before hiring a trainer there is a myriad of factors that need to be considered to ensure that the trainee improves his or her skills.

A relationship between the trainee and the trainer should be based on trust. For the trainee to get to his potential, he or she should be able to put his or her trust on the judgment of the trainer. Competitions should be reviewed ahead of time so that the trainer can guide you on what to do or not. Training involves the diet, training schedule among others. Without trust in him or her, conflicts will be unavoidable in the future.

The instructor is responsible for the attitude and mental strength that a trainee has towards the games. He or she must be strong mentally to help the trainer to achieve good form and mental strength. An instructor who has good mental strength is important because the even when the triathlete is facing difficult times, he or she can count on the instructor for support. This helps a trainee to gain endurance and a positive attitude towards the game.

Before hiring a trainer one should consider the experience that he or she has in the game. A trainer who has trained some successful triathletes in the past is better than the one who has no successful athletes. An experienced instructor has more knowledge and could give some tips on how to perform better. He or she might charge a little more than other coaches but hiring an experienced one might be the change you need for the game.

Another factor that one needs to consider is the formal educational background. He or she needs to present some certification that shows that he or she has the ability to nurture athletes. The certification does not necessarily indicate the strength of this trainee as a person but having some educational background shows that they have some knowledge about the sport.

A competitor should always know what kind of trainer he or she needs. There are those coaches who will direct you on how to train and practice but they will not be there to monitor your progress. There are other coaches who will dedicate their full time to you. Once one identifies the trainer they want, looking for your choice will not be as difficult.

A budget should be kept in mind before hiring a trainer. A triathlete should consider the amount of money that he or she is willing to pay for a coach. This is because as he or she is looking for one, different quotations will be submitted. One should take the one that works well with his or her budget.

Depending on the contact one wants with the trainer, the fees charged vary. If one wants a trainer that will be at all workouts to help with your form and technique, fees charged will be high. One can reduce the costs if he or she is involved in a group coaching method. A group of triathletes combine their resources and acquire the services of a top trainer.
