Top 10 Coaches Expectations
10. Show up on time and be ready to start practice.
9. Give feedback to your coach. Call, email, text, etc. split times from all workouts – we need to track your progress (or lack of) and make modifications as necessary for you to succeed.
8. Do your homework (weekly workouts) before we meet as a group. Triathlon and open water swimming are individual sports and you have to be able to motivate yourself too.
7. Expect to hurt, feel the "good pain", be sore, be tired, have self doubt and maybe even cry a bit. All athletes go through this – EVERYONE.
6. No whining. Ask questions but don’t complain because you think things are too hard. Yeah it was a good idea at the time, right?
5. Have goals in mind and discuss them with the coaches.
4. If you schedule an appointment for a private lesson – show up.
3. If you think things are unreasonable then you probably need to revisit your goals.
2. Have fun!
