USAT Online Athlete Profiler
USAT uses the Athlete Profiler to identify athletes for invitation to Select Camps and National Team programs. The Athlete Profiler also serves as an important two-way communication tool between USAT and its younger members. Once an athlete has created a profile, they are able to update it from time-to-time with their most recent personal best times and race results. USAT often uses the Athlete Profiler to contact athletes about upcoming events and opportunities. Athletes 23 and under are encouraged to create an Athlete Profile using the link below.

Regional Athlete Development Coordinators (RADC)
Each of USAT's ten regions is served by an RADC whose role it is to foster and coordinate events for athletes under the age of 23. RADCs are an excellent resource for athletes, parents,and coaches when it comes to selecting the appropriate, camp, or team. RADCs are familiar with USATs athlete development pipeline and national team programs. Many RADCs have coached youth elite and junior elite triathletes and are able to provide guidance for athletes seeking to participate in draft-legal triathlons.
