As multisport coaches, you work with a wide range of athletes – everyone from this season’s newbies to pros. The focus of this newsletter is working with beginner triathletes. We will cover areas that are important to remember when working with new athletes, such as overcoming fears of open water, equipment essentials, mental skills and other tips for the first-time triathlete.
