Multisport coaching specialist, Trisutto, has continued to expand its coaching and training program – and has confirmed Irish elite athlete and coach Declan Doyle as its latest Trisutto Coaching Team member.
Trisutto Head Coach Brett Sutton said, “As our Trisutto family continues to grow, I am very pleased to welcome coach Declan Doyle. I have known Declan for more than 10 years, and during that time I have been able to observe his outstanding exploits as an athlete, while he continued his career in teaching. As a skilled educator, with athletic and coaching ability, I have asked Declan many times if he was interested in using his skills to help his fellow triathletes.
“This year Declan graduated from our Trisutto Coaching Certification course and showed to all in the Trisutto administration why I have pushed so hard, to see him join our team. An expert educator; he knows triathlon from the inside, and has attended training camps long before my Trisutto days. An Irish sense of humour brings to the table a unique set of skills that I believe will enhance every athlete he works with.”
He continued, “If you are considering a coach, getting in contact with Declan will be a far more practical investment in your triathlon than any tech gadget on the market. Declan, I wish you the very best in your choice of moving to the other side of the fence. I am truly confident you will make an excellent coach.”
Trisutto has created an official platform so that all coaches operating under the Trisutto umbrella have a comprehensive training, learning and program database. The Trisutto.com certification program involves three key aspects for coaches:
Online learning module
