WaldenTRI coaching news
21st December 2020
In less than six weeks since I wrote the previous coaching newsletter we’ve already seen a second lockdown come and go, then the resumption of face-to-face coaching & training, and now preparations to be different once again beyond Christmas.
Despite almost continuous disruption to training & racing since March (and a staggering amount of new processes, rules & documentation) it’s been a fascinating time to be coaching and helping to run a sports club.
Throughout all of this the club’s coaches have shown outstanding commitment: not just keeping existing club sessions going but providing brand new activities too. Club members have supported these opportunities brilliantly - we’ve had a significant increase in participation by members during 2020. I couldn’t be prouder of the WaldenTRI coaches.
And we’re certainly going to keep up the momentum over the Christmas & New Year period. I’ve detailed the activities below which are scheduled during the holidays: thanks to all coaches & members who are leading them. A few other activities will pop up too so, as always, keep an eye on the club’s Facebook group for information.
Finally, I’m as keen as ever to recruit new coaches to the team so we can continue the club’s development. If you get a kick out of helping people learn new skills, rise to their challenges, and enjoy their sport then you’d probably enjoy being a triathlon coach. Just get in touch to find out more (with no obligation).
Merry Christmas to all. Just drop me a line at
headcoach@waldentri.co.uk any time.
