- How much money do professional triathletes earn? Forget about the legends of the sport, and let's focus on how much the average pro earns from triathlon, is it even enough money to live on? A lot of career pros or semi-pros also have a side job to help fund their racing, whilst others rely on national funding and different sponsors. Cody Beals has always been transparent about how much he earns each year and how, and talks candidly to Mark about his finances in this video.

Such a cool, clearly educated guy Cody. Great episode as always.
Now we need to ask the pros about training in foreign countries. How do they plan and manage everything?
Next video on this topic please
Cody is the smartest guy in triathlon! What a gem!
I’ve read Cody’s financial reports a few times, very interesting! I think it’s super cool many pros are putting more work into their social media presence too, offering more value to sponsors and another income stream 👍
There was an interesting blog by Ruth Astle who did a blog of her first year as a pro in covid times. Didn’t even break even and not been paid prize money yet from Ironman after qualifying for Kona in Florida. Think I’ll stick to the day job 🤣🤣🤣 compared to other pro sports it’s very poor.
Aside from Cody’s openness and generosity for supplying the curious with his earnings in the industry, I have to commend him on his interview delivery and well-spoken insights. He has definitely taken public speaking courses and has practiced to eliminate the “um’s” and “ah’s” from his speech. Dude has honed a craft that so many have no idea even exists.
It's a great interview... if we say so ourselves 😊
Wow, another great one.. And taken to the next level with Cody, very smart and eloquent guest
GTN is rising in quality of content and content delivery, keep it up
I will become a pro long distance triathlete one day. Step by step, but I'm determined and I will make it!
As an ex company MD of an enduro bike company in the UK - I was approached all the time from riders that were winning MTB races asking for sponsorship - but they had hardly any social media following. No one knew they were winning any races - they wouldn’t have sold any products regardless of performance on the trails. You need to gain a following and make sure all eyes are on you, making noise and shouting about your ability is far more important that coming 1st. As an athlete, people will be interested in your life and fitness, how well you can package that as something sellable is the real key to attracting sponsorship and success.
Cody is such an amazing ambassador for the sport!
Seriously how is Beals not in broadcasting? GTN might need a Canadian correspondent?
What an intelligent guy with such a pragmatic and sensible approach to his career.
Who edited this video? Why tf are we watching Ruth Astle make toast in the middle of the Cody Beals interview?! 😂
Very interesting video with a great guest in Cody. People who race Ironman professionally deserve to earn a lot more than seems to be the case.
We did an awesome podcast with Cody and went even more in depth on the real triathlon podcast!
Cody is awesome !!!
Are we just going to pretend that Cody Beals doesn't have one of the most incredible Fiddle Leaf Figs ever?
Thank you for an honest video on a interesting topic!
Best of luck and success to you!!
Amazing video. Love how Cody breaks down the financial side..
Thanks, this helps to understand and appreciate better how hard you guys work and your motivations.
what a great episode and great guy to hear! Keep it up! Brilliant!
Great interview, I like Cody he is super nice and always answers all the questions directly.
I'm a huge Cody fan!!!
Great episode @gtn 👍😊
Good info..... wish someone ie GCN would bring a video on the pros on various earnings.....from pro Continental to new-pro and all the way up..... because very unfair earnings for all different reasons..... I’ve heard???
A video on how to actually become a pro would be really helpful! And how it differs between olympic and long course distances
Always wanted to know cause this is something I would want to do as a pro
I’d do it as well, only because I have plenty of rental homes and other sources of income that don’t require me to a actually work.
@@EatMyPropwash must be nice lol
Really informative video. Thanks!
Congrats guys!
Love the videos with pros!
For US athletes there is also the question of healthcare. Without a national healthcare system, how can they afford to pay for a plan or out of pocket, since most earn a modest living from triathlon?
Was that Fewston and Swinsty Res, that the young lady was running round? Certainly looked like it :) One of my favourite training runs
Great video!!!!👍🏻
Thanks mark very good info
Great video topic!
Triathlon is an unusual sport (and indeed general activity) in the sense that 'pro' does not seem to equate to the idea that you actually earn a living from it. The British Triathlon Federation hands out literally hundreds of pro-licences every year, yet my guess is that only a few dozen make a full or even part time living from the sport.
Talking about earning and sponsor goodies! Could you do a presentation of the Cube Aerium C68 (new sponsor of Lucy Charles-Bacley).
Thanks
If I was in a position to be a pro I would learn to code. Can do the "day job" any time and anywhere, completely flexible around training and racing.
Possibly if you can get the right gig! Thing is that training and racing at the pro level is pretty consuming, some have the incredible ability to hold down a job around their training, but it's definitely going to make recovery more challenging
@@gtn I think that is why something like coding can work so well. It can be completely flexible, can be done totally from home, and it can even work with training at all hours due to timezone flexibility. Obviously not everyone is suitable for this type of work. There are also other opportunities for things like teaching, translation, coaching etc that can be done remotely and at any hour of the day (so basically fitting with any weird training hours you can throw at it :D )
This is really interesting
Very interesting 👌😀
Sorry to hear Cody doesn't like his physics degree says a physics professor and triathlete!
CANADIAN HERO!
It would be fun to dump a ton of cash for prize money into a local small race to attract world class talent... That is if I had the mega cash to burn....
NDA ofc, those companies that underpay their athletes don't want that out there.
So no cash in this game
Better to become cricket player
Why does he say put like putt?
Haha I get that a lot. It’s just down to where my family are from in the UK, and I picked up their way of saying things
Haha fair enough mate, was starting to think I’d been saying it wrong my whole life aha
Too lazy to shave there Mark, uh? :P
