To provide a new learning opportunity to coaches, World Triathlon Development is pleased to introduce a 6-week online course between 1 April and 24 May to be running in English and in Spanish on the Physiology of Triathlon - this time specifically addressing youth and juniors.

By going into the details of the topic with our guest experts Mick Delamotte (AUS) and Scott Murray (GBR), this course will give coaches the information and tools needed to improve their knowledge in this field and to properly develop youth and junior athletes on the path to become elites. At the end of the online course participants who successfully complete all the modules, tasks and attended the webinars will receive an attendance certificate.

The course is only available for World Triathlon Certified Level 1 and Level 2 Coaches, preferably working with youth and juniors. Developing (Group 1…3) National Federations are able to nominate 2 male and 2 female coaches on-line until Thursday 25 March.

Accepted candidates will be informed on 30 March, their introduction webinar takes place on 1 April. It is important to clarify in advance that successful completion will require each participant to dedicate 4-6 hours every week throughout the course for self study, webinar participation and submission of on-line tasks.
