World Triathlon

ITU Development is pleased to be able to announce the updated list of coaches accredited to facilitate ITU certified coaching courses in 2012.

According to Libby Burrell, ITU Development Director:
“Coach education forms the cornerstone of all good development programmes and the ITU Development programme is no exception.  We are extremely thankful to the National Federations for their support in allowing their coaches to dedicate many of their already long hours to helping us grow and develop coaches globally.”

“It’s exciting to begin another year of ITU coach education with such a dedicated team of world class coaches that will help strengthen and develop triathlon around the world. Last year we not only furthered coaching at the elite level, but took our Level 1 Coaching and Community Courses to countries like Mozambique and Tonga for the very first time. This Olympic year promises to offer more firsts, and I look forward to working with everyone in the ITU’s coaching courses to help achieve them.”

The first ITU coaching course of 2012 is in the Philippines at the end of January, further courses will be posted here when scheduled.
