The athlete will need to be physically and mentally ready to change their life and begin this journey. Many athletes, when they come to the triathlon sport have to make decisions in changing their lifestyle. The lifestyle of a Triathlete is dedicated, determined, receptive and humble as being a one-man sport.  As a coach, I will set goals with each athlete and a plan to achieve them.With the latest technology and science, I, the coach will take the athlete to it highest physical level. Although coaching an athlete cannot only be with ‘techno-science’, getting to know the athlete from within is imperative.Building a relationship of trust with the athlete is fundamental to that athlete’s success. As a coach, I have three golden rules:1.    Who you are as an athlete and competitor?2.    Whatever you bring to practice, you will bring on race day?a.    By achieving peak performance through hard training, I want to develop an athlete with a strong work ethic, and one that enjoys bringing a high level of intensity out to practice every day.  Whatever you bring to practice, it will show on race day.3.    Do you respect and listen to your body?a.    Do you know when you need to take a day off?Using these rules, during training and everyday, the coach can see the athlete’s performance and see who they really are.  My goal as a coach is to emphasize the process of improvement. Teaching the athlete the ‘drive’ they partake in any sport can be exemplified in their daily life.  I believe that taking care of the little things will ultimately take care of the results.Part of my role as a mentor is to teach each athlete that in helping others, they help themselves.  As a coach my duty is to rebuild a foundation for success, making the athlete aware of whom they are and seeking their potential from within. When the athlete describes winning, it all comes down to race day: At the end of the race, if you have learned something NEW, then you have WON the race!

Fit For Speed: Improve Your Running Form to Maximize EfficiencyHaving proper form while running is essential to improving efficiency and performance. With the correct form, a runner can use less energy to cover the same distance than with improper form, leading to improved endurance, speed, and overall performance. Additionally, using correct form helps the runner avoid injuries by ensuring that all muscles are being engaged properly. These are some top tips to correct your running form. 1. Posture – Keep your upper body tall and held lightly but firmly in place, especially the shoulders. This will ensure you stay aerodynamic and conserve energy. 2. Foot Strike – Aim for a mid-foot strike as close to underneath your center of gravity as possible with each step, rather than a heel strike or forefoot strike. This will help control the impact of each step and reduce the amount of energy lost in the foot strike. 3. Arm Swings – Keep your arms close to your sides with a slight bend at the elbow, and maintain a relaxed yet slightly firm grip when swinging them back and forth. This will ensure that you don&#x27;t waste energy by over-reaching with your arms. Improving running form can have a tremendous impact on runner&#x27;s efficiency, endurance, speed and overall performance. By following these simple tips, you&#x27;ll be able to save energy while running and improve your performance in no time!
