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.

Overview

This one-day workshop is a mix of classroom and practical sessions. 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.

Workshop content includes:

• S&C Programing Principles.
• Effective preparation and warm up.

Additionally, learners will also have access to an online resource bank with further technical information and over 40 conditioning videos to support learning and understanding of strength and conditioning in triathlon
