Course Information

This one day workshop has been developed in conjunction with English Institute of Sport practitioner’s Stephen Breisner and Ian Pyper who are the lead Strength & Conditioning coaches for the Great Britain Triathlon Team.

Upon completion of the workshop coaches will be able to prepare, deliver and review safe and effective strength and conditioning (S&C) sessions within a non-weighted (body weight only exercises) environment.
