We can take on several different coaching roles so you can have the best triathlon coach available, regardless of your location or resources.
Most of our triathletes work on a combination of all of the following:

Where we completely plan and administer your program from base to race, including all swim, ride and run sessions, race planning and all aspects to get you to the finish line first.
Receive and return training programs weekly.
We are in constant contact with you via phone, email and skype .
This sort of programming ideally suits the triathlete who has limited resources and has to train on their own or are limited in the training sessions they can attend.

As you can see we are very flexible in our training programs which ideally suits the high performance junior. This type of flexibility is ideal for numerous situations and especially those who need a suitably qualified coach for specific state and national triathlon squads .
We work our training programs around your specific requirements, taking into account and using your local training resources.
Training program are sent out and returned at the end of each week, and are based week to week on what is happening in the athletes work, school and family life. We have found that weekly programs are the best method of operation to allow us to work around problems as they arise. There are no limits on email and phone support, and the more feedback that comes back to SXT the better, as it helps in the overall planning and success of your program.
We also run our own swim run and ride training sessions in Ballarat each day of the week and weekends, see our Training Center for up to date details .
