Custom online workout design and remote coaching
Training for three sports at one time is complicated. It’s also risky. Doing the wrong workouts at the wrong time is the fastest way to get injured and reduce your performance levels. Do you have the time and energy to learn how to be your own coach for swimming, cycling and running? Can you stay motivated to get all the workouts in each week when work, family, travel and other lifestyle challenges surface? Enlisting a USA certified professional triathlon coach will reduce your risk of injuries, reduce your stress, increase you performance levels, hold you accountable, and give you the fast path to success. You’ll get to focus on being an athlete and having fun with your training, knowing that you have an experienced mentor watching over you and waiting for you to log in about your workouts. Whether you’re getting ready for your first triathlon, wanting to get faster at racing, or moving up toward the Ironman, hiring an ET coach to fully support your journey is the absolute best way to optimize your experience. ET triathlon plans are customized for each athlete and allow you to safely become the triathlete you were meant to be. These workouts can be efficiently delivered right to your email inbox on a weekly basis anywhere in the world. A web based training and logging application is included along with unlimited email and phone dialogue with your coach. Video can also be used with remote athletes to improve ongoing communication with your coach. Contact Coach Joe to schedule a meeting to learn more and get started!

Transition clinics and coaching
Transitions are triathlon’s 4th sport! ET coaches can help you cut minutes off your transition times and reduce your overall race day stress. We have group transition clinics at most of our training camps and some rides. Coaches are also available for private transition coaching and training sessions.
Private lessons and coaching
If you’d like to learn triathlon, improve any of your swim, bike, run, or transition skill and techniques, private lessons are the fastest way to get there. An ET coach can quickly assess your current level, develop real-time instruction and workouts that perfectly progress you, and discuss any topic on your mind while you workout. What a great way to get a customized, high quality workout with an expert and have fun in the process!
Equipment selection
Triathlon is famous for its toys! Bikes, shoes, wetsuits, wheels, helmets, clothing, nutrition… the list goes on and on! ET coaches have tried it all and can help you get set up with the right gear fast, and within your budget.
Mental toughness consulting
If you think running is mostly mental, then you’ll really agree that triathlon is totally a game of mental ping-pong. What is the secret to Beating the Demons and becoming the athlete you are meant to be? Coach Joe is available on an hourly consulting basis to help you find the path.
Triathlon strength and conditioning
Injury prevention and sustained performance over a long period of time (muscular endurance) are the reason that triathlon specific strength and conditioning should be a part of your training program. ET coaches can develop and help you execute a personalized conditioning plan that will get you to the starting line injury free and optimized to go the distance without muscular meltdown.
Nutrition coaching
Have you ever fallen apart at the end of a race, wondered what to eat and drink before or during a race, wondered how to eat healthily – and still eat your favorite foods, or agonized over losing weight – and then gaining it all back? We can help you become more energetic so you can work and play harder. ET Nutrition services provide research-based techniques for improving performance and enhancing health.
