Why do you work with Trisutto?
As the former High Performance Manager of Triathlon Australia I worked alongside Brett Sutton during his period as National Coach. We formed a coaching team that was part of the most dominant triathlon programs in the world. Since that time I have worked as a coaching consultant and National Coach to the Indian, Thailand and Philippine Teams, as well as setting up the coaching accreditation programs in each of those countries. I look forward reuniting with Brett and the Trisutto group of coaches as we show our athletes a more efficient, effective method of training.
