Graham Park
Coaching Philosophy: TO BE THE BEST....TRAIN WITH THE BEST...TRAIN HARD ...VERY HARD The goal of coaching is to develop the ‘best you can be on race day’ Triathlete, a person who has the fitness, physical skill, knowledge, focus and confidence to accomplish his or her goals. I focus on the aerobic system, as it is the primary determinant of endurance athletic performance. The aerobic system is the most efficient energy system in the body, and it produces the fewest negative by-products.

Gerard Smith
Coaching is about far more than just a training plan. To me coaching is about providing the environment and support you need to reach your goals. For some this is the accountability of regular checkups by the coach, for others it is helping to make sure training is executed appropriately, and for others it may be that support is only needed occasionally to prepare for events or when things aren't going to plan. That's why I provide different coaching options, so we can make it work for you.
