Masters of Tri, the Spain-based triathlon training camp and coaching business, has announced a coaching partnership with Team Zoot Europe. As part of the new deal, Masters of Tri coaches will be supporting the launch of the 2018 Team Zoot days event in Germany on 9-11 March, providing coaching and advice over the weekend. The Team Zoot days event will be held at the SportCentrum Kamen Kaiserau, close to Dusseldorf. Team Zoot Europe will also be supporting Masters of Tri training camps and coached athletes throughout 2018.
Martin Hill, Founder, Masters of Tri, said “We are very excited and honoured to be working with Zoot, a brand closely associated with triathlon and founded in Kona. As coaches we feel that the Masters of Tri and Zoot association provides a unique synergy of coaching and triathlon apparel to serve the Team Zoot – and wider – triathlon community.”
He continued, “It will be fantastic to meet and provide coaching to a part of the Team Zoot family of triathletes in Germany – two of our coached athletes will be amongst those present to launch the team in March.”
Zoot Sports, a specialist in endurance sports, notes that it is ‘100% focused on providing the athlete with the ultimate in performance apparel, wetzoots, footwear and accessories’. Team Zoot is a family of like-minded athletes from around the world. Established in 2008, Team Zoot aims to represent what being a triathlete is all about… ‘Whether it’s toeing the line of your first race or getting that qualifying spot for Kona, you don’t need to be on the podium to be part of the team. Team Zoot is Ohana. Everyone from beginner triathletes to seasoned Kona qualifiers, Zooters are a friendly bunch who train and race hard but also enjoy the journey.’
Matt Hill, Coach at Masters of Tri added “We aim to be a game changer for every athlete, helping to improve their performance year on year. The success of our approach is based on noticing and correcting those small things that change a triathlete’s performance.
“At Masters of Tri, athletes are individually coached to build their confidence and endurance – accelerating them to achieve their goals. We aim to inspire and encourage our athletes by keeping things simple and effective; we experience a huge amount of pleasure in seeing our athletes achieve their goals – whether novice athletes who are successful in their first race or the experienced competing at world championships.”
Coaches Martin and Matt have a combined coaching and competing experience of over 35 years, in triathlon, swim, bike and run events, and are being mentored by Brett Sutton through his TriSutto business.
Working with athletes, from novice to professional, Masters of Tri provides an immersive training experience at its training camps on location in Spain and other international venues – with an international roster of coached triathletes. The team at Masters of Tri note that coaches deliver their unique approach by applying three specific steps to their coaching:
- Assess – to fully understand the ability of the individual athlete;
- Advise – accurately and scientifically advising the athlete on areas of development and improvement; and
- Accelerate – the performance of the athlete, by coaching even those small changes that provide significant gains.
