2010 Pack – Coaching

November 1st, 2009 by Gavin

You may have read the end of season reports from ‘the Pack’ – That was 2009 and now I’m looking forward to 2010.

Overall I was happy with how everything went this season. My mind was kept active in the little bubble in which I live, I read a lot and learnt some things as the season unfolded.

I enjoyed the experience of working with the group.We had some great improvements, positioned well in the National Series, Wicklow Tri Club won team of the year and I feel like everyone walked away from the season with feelings of satisfaction.

A lot of our improvements came from the fact that the guys trained together as much as possible – especially in the pool – thus moviation was kept high and together they encouraged and helped each other.

99% of everything was done via email – I met the guys only once, plus at a couple of races and very little happened on the phone. Thats the way it worked . . . . the work laid was laid out and the results came from it. Simple.

Programmes were delivered on a weekly basis that could either be accessed online via individual portals or they would arrive straight to email accounts (or mobile). Emails were very regular, I’d chase some people up had I not heard from them, problems were sorted and plans made to move forward.

The guys appreciated that I was chasing my own athletic goals and a lot of the time was abroad training and racing. At the very start I said I could only help a small amount of people for this very reason, but it worked out well.

And now it’s all over I am thinking about starting again. . . if your interested, get in touch
