The ASTC-ITU Continental Development Camp took place in the Jincheon Korea National Training Center April 21-27 right before the 2016 Hatsukaichi ASTC Asian Triathlon Championships.

The camp aimed at preparing Team ASTC athletes and emerging SD athletes for the upcoming Hatsukaichi Asian Championships. Under the guidance of Peter Clifford (ITU facilitator from Australia), five coaches from four countries implemented the skill based training sessions in cooperation with fellow coaches.

“It is my great pleasure to train in such a great training center with all world class training facilities and equipment, not to mention the accommodations and meals. It is also great that I can use the training facilities anytime. All of our participants enjoyed the camp and learned a lot.” Said Jeremia Christy

“I am really happy to see the progress of Team ASTC and Emerging SD athletes. The athletes will keep their hard work up towards their goals. They will get there. Endurance sport is just like hair growing. We don’t realize how well athletes’ performance is improving within a couple of days. However, a couple of months and years of consistent and well planned training makes a big difference.” Said Peter Clifford.

“ASTC’s recent sport development goal is to keep up the development of athletes and coaches. To achieve this goal, we decided to have more training camps to boost the development. I am certain that the regular checks on the progress of the Team ASTC and emerging SD athletes through the camps will be a key to success for the sustainable our sport development. Now I can see the change in our athletes’ attitude on training. They are more concentrated and eager.” Said Ki, Woo Kyong, ASTC coordinator. 

Next project in Asia the 2016 Hatsukaichi ITU Technical Officials Level 2 Seminar May 2 to 3, 2016.
