As coaches of triathlon teams and clubs, you know it can often be difficult to prevent boredom or intimidation during training sessions.  Joella Baker has created a team dynamic in which her group can train together in many disciplines while still helping each athlete, from the 10:30 miler to the 5:30 miler, reach their personal goals. 

In this webinar, course objectives will be:

• Team and relationship building
• Training session implementation
• Developing workouts that can fit all abilities with modifications
• Engaging elite athletes to be welcoming and encouraging
• Training session options that work for everyone
• Keeping it fun
