Course Information

Mentoring has operated on a mixed informal and formal basis to date within the British Triathlon coaching system. As a highly recognised and valued learning opportunity, British Triathlon is increasingly making good use of this and drawing significant value from its benefits and are now inviting more coaches to take up a mentoring role within the sport.

Course Overview

• Duration: 2 Day Programme.  
• Refreshments and a buffet lunch will be provided.
