Karel and I believe that our coaching company is more than a business.
We coach a team of amazing, goal-oriented, hard working and focused athletes.
We coach a team of amazing, goal-oriented, hard working and focused athletes.
Each athlete welcomes us into his/her life and we feel incredibly lucky to be part of a personal athletic journey. For most of our athletes, we do not spend just one season training for races but instead, we have many athletes who have worked with us for several years.
If you are a triathlete, we know that you are in an individual sport, but we want you to be part of something that is bigger than yourself.

As a Trimarni athlete, you are not just one athlete.
Every athlete brings something very special to our team, which is also your triathlon family.
Every athlete brings something very special to our team, which is also your triathlon family.
We know that training can be unmotivating when you are always by yourself and sometimes your family doesn't "get you". We also know that it can be tough to dig through those low moments in a race when you do not know anyone out on the race course (who doesn't love cheers from friends?).
That is why we feel that it is important to provide our Trimarni athletes with several opportunities to train and race with Trimarni teammates.
Training and racing with your teammates brings out the best version of you on race day as you can always dig a little deeper, stay a bit more mentally strong and have a lot more fun when you are with others, versus when you are all by yourself.

If you are interested in joining the 2017 Trimarni triathlon coaching team, we will open our coaching application in the next 2 weeks (before September 10th). Stay tuned - I will announce on my social media channels and on this blog, when you can apply for coaching.
We officially start 2017 Trimarni coaching in December - however some situations may require that we begin your coaching service in November.
Our coaching application is not used to help us decipher between fast or slow athletes. We coach ALL fitness levels of athletes and we specialize in endurance triathlon coaching (half and full Ironman).
Our coaching application helps us understand you as an athlete but also what you need from a coach/training plan. It's important to us that Trimarni is the right fit for you as we believe in a healthy coach/athlete relationship.
In the mean time, we have selected tentative dates for our training camps and key Trimarni races for next year so that you can start planning your 2017 season.
While it is not required that you attend a Trimarni race, we strongly encourage you to experience what it is like to race with your teammates and have full access to your coaches, before, during and after the race.
Additionally, we strongly advise attending a Trimarni camp in 2017 so that your coaches can see you in action to assess your individual strengths and weaknesses, to help you improve your swim/bike/run/skills and to train with your like-minded teammates, who will help you stretch your individual limits.

All Trimarni camps are open to the public. You do not have to be a Trimarni athlete to attend a Trimarni camp. If you work with another coach, we would be glad to speak to your coach before/after the camp to ensure that your needs are met. We also welcome other coaches (who are athletes) to attend our camps to learn from us.
