Senior Leadership Team

The British Triathlon Senior Leadership Team works with Performance Programme athletes and staff to set, monitor and revise the strategy to drive up levels of performance.

The British Triathlon Performance Programme Strategic Framework set out by the Senior Leadership team provides a clear Vision and Mission and sets the Culture for how success will be achieved.

Our Vision is:

To deliver WORLD CLASS SUCCESS and to INSPIRE PARTICIPATION.

GB Triathlon is embracing this Vision as it provides two aspirational elements that can be ‘lived’  in a practical way by athletes, coaches and staff.

Leadership and Culture

Our leadership is built on ENGAGEMENT.

The Senior Leadership Team (SLT) defines its role as:

• adding value to an athlete and/or coach;

• Individual Athlete Approach
