Become a Triathlon Coach
One of the most satisfying elements of sport is being involved in the development of fellow athletes. Triathlon Ireland’s coaching pathway is designed to provide coaches with recognised skills appropriate to their level and to provide a framework for progressing to the upper levels of coaching within the sport.
Tri Leader, as the initial step in to become a triathlon coach. It’s ideal for those who wish to either assist existing coaches in a club environment or to start the coaching pathway in their own right. Tri Leader is a prerequisite for continuing to the next step of becoming a Level 1 Coach.
Building on skills learned during the Tri Leader, the Level 1 Coaching course enables coaches to expand their breadth of knowledge and skills and provide independent coaching to groups of athletes in certain settings.
Further developing skills, confidence and experience, the Level 2 Coaching course enables independent coaching in more complex and challenging situations.
The Tri Leader qualification is accredited by Sport Ireland Coaching. The Level 1 and Level 2 Coaching courses are accredited by World Triathlon and Sport Ireland Coaching.
All of our coaching courses are designed in such a way that full physical participation is not necessary. If you have an injury, are pregnant or simply feel uncomfortable about a certain element of the course, please contact us to discuss further. Courses can be found on the course calendar.
