By Andrew Mitchell


When one is new to is a triathlete constant training is needed to improve his or her performance in the field. With the help of a good triathlon coach one is sure that his or her speed and endurance is highly improved. Triathlon is a very demanding exercise, it involves swimming. Cycling and running over long distances. Finding the perfect coach can be overwhelming and a lot of factors need to be considered while choosing the right training companion.

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.

The experience of the trainer is also an important factor in determining the best one to hire. An instructor who has a reputation of successful clients ought to be chosen. This is because they have a more knowledge than one who has coached very few people. Though this might be an expensive venture, it might be worth it at the end depending on the dedication you give it.

An instructor should have some educational background. He or she should be able to provide documents to prove that he or she has been certified by the athletics governing body to conduct coaching activities. Although not all educated coaches are good, having some basic training knowledge and skills is important for the progress of the trainee.

A triathlete should also consider the type of instructor one needs. There are those coaches who basically conduct the training and are not present during competitions. There are others who will be at an athletes side at all times. The trainer who is present at all times is, however, important because they are able to instill discipline to a triathlete and show support when needed.

Before settling on a trainer a triathlete should consider the amount of money he or she is willing to spend. The search must be done with an actual number in mind. As the search continues one will notice that modifications will be necessary depending on the coaching expectancy. Fees charged will depend on particular experience of the particular trainer.

There are personal coaches, club, and group coaches. A triathlete must be in a position to know where he or she will benefit the most to improve his or her shape and form. Group coaches are not very expensive but will not be catering to you better than a personal coaches.
