Alameda Triathlon Coach Training

Alameda Triathlon does not train coaches in the technicalities of triathlon coaches. Alameda Triathlon recruits already certified triathlon coaches and our coach training only involves making sure the coaches are up to standard as well as ensuring the coaches fully understand our athlete evaluation criteria. Our ultimate goal is that coaches who go through our training are assessed for their professionalism and knowledge, as well as deliver their training within the ethos of Alameda Triathlon of encouraging more people to do triathlon within a safe and fun atmosphere.
