#171 - The Psychology of Coaching Triathlon

Imagine coaching 40 athletes that are racing triathlon on the same weekend. Today, Coach Robbie takes us through a play by play of how he tracks athletes and retains his sanity with all the notifications. The highs, the lows, the stresses, the rewards. He also shares his "secrets" as a coach, which usually boil down to building relationships and trust. 

• Coaching the Week of race preparation
• Race outlines
• An Athlete’s Happiness is #1
• Handling different skill levels and ages
• Most stressful part of a race weekend
• Dealing with sickness and stress
• The journey and the obstacles
• Endless Variables to Consider
• Big race, fun race, set up
• Just finish, podium, or win?
• Expectations or Future Resentments? 
• Or, Expectations as Restraints?
• Why Athletes Never Let a Coach Down
