Description:
In Part 1, coaches will cover safety, coaching philosophy, planning workouts, and designing programs for triathletes. Part 1 prepares coaches to complete activity plans and Emergency Action plans in swim, bike, run and transition, which will be used in Part 2. Part 1 includes the module Coaching Beginner and Age Group Triathletes.
In Part 2, Coaches will put to work the skills learned in Part 1 by coaching mini-workouts for their fellow coaches. Using the Practice Plans and Emergency Action Plans created in Part 1, coaches will run safe and effective practices in swim, bike, run, and transition. Part 2 includes the modules Coaching and Assessing Triathlon Skills and Coaching to Events.
Many coaches have completed Part 1 in the online format. These coaches need only register for Part 2, and need only be present on Sunday. Coaches having completed Part 1 online will be required to submit their 4 workout plans and EAPs prior to the course. An online upload link will be provided by email to registrants, and feedback from the Learning Facilitators will be provided.
NCCP Community Triathlon Coach is the starting point for triathlon coaches, and completion of Parts 1 and 2 is the primary requirement to run a club, workout, clinic, or camp sanctioned by Triathlon Ontario.
The triathlon coaching pathway has recently been updated, so this is an all-new course featuring new material and an updated practical component.
The full course consists of Part 1 and Part 2. Coaches will need to complete both parts in order to be qualified. Part 2 includes the modules Coaching and Assessing Triathlon Skills and Coaching to Events and is delivered a one-day, in-person course. During Part 2, coaches will lead the mini-activities they planned in Part 1.
Though open to all Triathlon Ontario members, this course is one of those in the new Triathlon Community Coaching Pathway. As such, it’s particularly suited for those coaches looking to coach beginner, recreational, and age-group athletes, and those coaches working toward NCCP Community certification.
The outcomes of the NCCP Community Triathlon Coach program are:
- Make Ethical Decisions
- Provide Support to Athletes in Training
- Plan a Practice
- Analyze Performance
- Support the Competitive Experience
- Design a Sport Program
