The BEST TRIATHLON TRAINING METHOD and how to choose a TRIATHLON COACH. Your most important choice!

If you have ever looked for a coach, you may have seen that some promote their methodology as a reason you should choose them. Some will even say that theirs is the ‘right way’ and other just won’t get the results. Of course all coaches think their way is the right way. In fact, at Do3 we have our own methodology too, we call it the ‘Do3 Way’ and we have coached hundreds of athletes to success using it (We’re doing a video about it, and once we do I’ll post the link below).
This video is about whether there is a ‘best method’ and then I’ll go though my top 7 considerations when choosing the right coach.
03:43 Number one, talk to the coach before you decide
04:17 Number two. Coaching. Communication. Does your coaching package include regular calls similar to the above?
04:39 Number three How are training sessions delivered? Excel, Training Peaks or some other kind of software?
05:02 Number four. Who is the coach's target group? Are they all about helping the pros of winning titles or are they about helping amateurs maximize their potential?
05:40 Number five. Where is the coach Physically based? It's good if you can actually see each other, if you can.
06:04 Number six. Does the coach have a community of athletes? Because sharing your journey makes things so much better.
06:29 Number seven Does the coach allow for ad hoc calls or messages?

I also think financial cost comes as a big consideration too, I try to work out what it would cost for a year including all the little extras you may want, if my budget allows a less compatible coach for a full year, or a more compatible coach but for only a few months then that is a consideration and ultimately a decesion I have to make.
Like most coaches say, Consistency is key
