Support your club and learn more about how to train for triathlon - become a triathlon coach
We are always looking for new coaches to help with training and we're really keen to encourage club members to get involved in coaching.
The latest round of training to become a British Triathlon Federation coach has just opened for booking. If you already have some existing experience of coaching then your best option is to go straight to level 2 (subject to BTF agreeing you have enough experience). If you are new to coaching then you will need to start at level 1.
The club will cover the up front costs of the training and you then repay the costs through delivering sessions. Both courses take place at the Crystal Palace sports centre and you MUST attend all the dates. Apparently level 2 is new and improved!
If you want to know more, give me or one of the other coaches a shout.
The closing date for booking is the end of Oct but they tend to get booked up quickly so let me know asap if you are interested in booking.

Not only would you be really helping build the club by taking part, you would meet some very interesting people and learn a lot of interesting stuff that will help with your own fitness and triathlon experience.
I really enjoyed these courses and would recommend them to anyone. As Lucy said any of the existing coaches will be only too happy to help you get through

I'd be interested in coaching at some point but surely there is a level of athletic ability to reach first?
I'm fairly average at most disciplines but keen on teaching.If my shortcomings aren't an issue then i'd be up for level 1.

Coaching triathlon is not the same thing as actually swimming,cycling or running.
It is primarily about observation, communication and organisation.
Sometimes great athletes make great coaches but often that is not the case - Pele, Maradona and Bobby Charlton never made it as coaches, Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger did.
The main qualification is interest in people, willingness to think critically and enthusiasm.

Great to see so many up for Level 1. To echo Tony above you don't need to be Chrissie Wellington or the Brownlee brothers to be a good coach. Most of the juniors I've coached over the last few years are now faster than me in nearly everything - what you can't do yourself you can certainly coach in others!
