Trisutto is committed to providing athletes and coaches with the world's best triathlon coaching service. This includes the training and development of the world's best coaches.
​
Here you will learn the approach and training philosophies of triathlon's most successful coaching methodology.
The Trisutto Coaching Certification goes beyond other online courses as we believe that coaching is a lifelong commitment to learning and improving ones skills. As such, the Trisutto.com certification program involves three key aspects:
1) Online Learning Module
You will learn the Coaching Methodology and approach that has produced Ironman, World and Olympic Champions. A comprehensive 20 module course that takes you through all aspects of triathlon and performance coaching.
​
2) Feedback for review
Short answer questions at the end of most chapters are required to be submitted for review and feedback to ensure you are understanding and learning the content.
​
3) Mentorship while studying with a Senior Trisutto Coach
Coaches complete a mentorship period with a senior coach, maintaining online contact with their mentor, who will review and provide feedback to their short answer questions (2 above). As part of their accreditation coaches need to supply a 3 month training program either week by week, previous to or after their athlete has completed the workouts. Backgrounds (age, time in sport, achievements, ability level) of the athlete need to be included, plus training goals.
​
Our mentor coach is a guide for feedback, discussion, review of your coursework and the improvement of your all-round coaching ability.
