Factors To Consider When Hiring A Triathlon Coach

By Mark Burns


Regardless of whether you are a newcomer in triathlon or an all-time participant, getting a good coach is a great way of improving on your performance. The structure and responsibility that is brought about by training under a person are some of the main reasons why a triathlete will require a Triathlon Coach to achieve his or her goals. Depending on your reason, where to start from remains a challenge and below are some of the things to consider as you get a good trainer.

One must know why he or she needs a coach. It might look very simple but for the formality it is very important to state clearly why you need one. During the investigation there will obviously be many answers. Due to this it is very important to make a list with many reasons why you need one and this will obviously help you in acquiring him or her.

Your budget. Start your process of investigation with a monthly budget already in mind. As you continue with your search, you are likely to find out that you will need to modify your expectations on coaching service or your budget. The fee levied by a coach is based on his history of success and services. A trainer that has been highly successful and provides personalized services will demand higher fee than a new trainer will.

Training experience. A good one ought to have a vast training experience in the field one is interested in. One who has enormous success based on the previous training should be the one to consider. One who had trained many athletes and turned successful has the required experience. But it is very good to note that despite having a very experienced one it is not a guarantee of being successful.

The level of education of a trainer. A good one should have the required academic qualification on the field one is interested in. Certificates from higher institutions of learning and also from the relevant governmental body should be considered. It is not obvious that one with very high academic qualification will bring the best result, but the truth is that will have the basic knowledge in the field.

Consider the time the trainer will be with you. Some may not be always close to you while others will maintain a close contact. The one that will be available most of the time is a good one. This is because will always be ready to offer some pieces of advice such the best techniques to use in order to compete favorably. One who maintains close contacts will be much expensive to hire than the one who does not.

Then consider all the resources required during the training session. Consider the cost of hiring, that of the required costumes and all other expenses to be incurred during the training period. Then determine whether they are proportional to the goodies to achieve at the end of training. Take some time and discuss with the coach on how to do training. A good advice will in most cases translate to good performance in the field.

A good coaching style will lead to excellent results. One with a better personality is a good one too. It is therefore very important to have these two factors when deciding the kind of the coach to hire. When all the above factors are put into practice and with the addition of the personal commitment outcome will be definitely enthralling.
