International Triathlon Coach Joel Filliol and Jeff Scull from the Department of Applied Health Sciences at Brock University in Ontario will be having a discussion on coaching, inputting on Jeff's research project entitled "Investigation into the motivational strategies among elite triathlon coaches"
This video is the Beijing 2008 Olympic Reflections talk I did with two time Olympic medallist Simon Whitfield, in November 2008, held at PISE in Victoria BC Canada.
Another interview with yours truly, this time from former British Triathlon colleague Mark Pearce's triathlon website Intelligent Triathlon. The interview touches on a number of areas including my transition from Federation to private coaching, Simon Whitfield's training pre-2008, training in cold weather, the evolution of the sport, and more.
"Working independently means I am not assigned athletes from a federation, and must attract and retain athletes whom I think I can help, and that choose to work with me and join the squad, which is a very positive change, as the attitude is fundamentally different, as we invest in each other, and are accountable to each other."

Another in the Triathlete Europe coach talks series, this time with yours truly.
In this interview I discuss overall training philosophy, the peaking concept for races, individual workload, injury prevention, and balancing all three sports:
"What we’re trying to do is have the right workloads for each athlete-the right workload at the right time for the athletes. Ithink that’s sort of a broad principle, but there are some different stories for how I can illustrate that. “Philosophy” is kind of a big word-what does that mean? What does that apply? My lessons working with Simon post-Beijing-we were lucky to have success, so you look back and ask, “What contributed to that?” And Isaid there were three things that were really important for Beijing, and they were conditioning, conditioning and conditioning."
