COACH WANTED: UofT Tri Club

General Info

The U of T Triathlon Club may be looking to fill a coaching position by September.

 

The role would involve the development and implementation of the Club's overall training program and, depending on the candidate's level of interest, may also involve the direct coaching of the workouts. 

 

The workload may initially be higher as the candidate reviews the existing training plan and works with the current coaches to develop and implement a new program.  

 

Club workouts generally take place around the downtown area so the ideal candidate should be able to access this area regularly.

 

Compensation is dependant on the candidate's experience and level of involvement with the Club. The candidate could start as early as August 2010 and may subsequently sign an initial contract lasting from September to late December.

 

Minimum Requirements

 

Candidates should be:

- motivated to gain experience as a Head Coach;

- a self-starter who can independently develop and implement a Club-wide training program;

- able to communicate regularly with the existing coaches to ensure proper implementation of the program; and

- be NCCP Community/Level I coaching certified.

 

Please submit your resume, CV or questions to info@uofttriathlon.com

 

Thanks for your interest.

COTEAU du LAC

Some fast racing yesterday at Coteau du Lac, especially from NTC Victoria, with athletes on every podium. Congrats to coaches Patrick Kelly, Carolyn Murray, and the NTC athletes.

Ontario was well represented, with a fantastic race by Andrew Yorke (C3) to win the Elite Mens race, and juniors Alexander Hinton (RTC Guelph) and Joanna Brown (ByTown Storm) finishing second and third in their respective races.

There were lots of positives for the rest of the RTC-Guelph crew with some challenges - that's racing.

Special thanks to Coaches Greg Kealey, Lorri Zagar and Patrick Kelly for supporting our crew in my absence.

WELCOME TO GUELPH...

Two videos demonstrating some of the things that Guelph Running has in the works. We're fortunate to be able to occasionally train with the Speed River crew, but more importantly to be exposed to a sporting culture of excellence which spans community involvement to high performance. A great model, which could be replicated elsewhere (maybe everywhere?). Definitely worth a look:

CANADIAN ROOKIE NARROWLY MISSES PODIUM

Canadian Rookie Narrowly Misses Podium Against World’s Best at Prestigious ITU Triathlon Elite Cup in Iowa

www.triathloncanada.com

DES MOINES, Iowa — Canada’s Paula Findlay proved once again she is ready to race against the world’s best triathletes after the rookie narrowly missed the podium in one of the most prestigious triathlon races of the season in Des Moines, Iowa on Sunday.

The 21-year-old Edmonton native matched strides with three of the world’s powerhouses in the sport in the 10-kilometre run to finish fourth at the ITU Hy-Vee Triathlon Elite Cup with a time of one hour 59 minutes 54 seconds (1:59:54).

“I had no idea I could do this today. I’m still so surprised,” said Findlay, who earned $20,000 US for her performance. “I was racing girls that I am always watching on television and to be able to keep up with them is just amazing for me. The money is a nice little bonus, but I never even thought about it today.”
