Irontubs Feb 2021 2:16pm, 10 Feb 2021 3,187 posts	0 Irontubs Interesting read. I'm doing my Triathlon level 2 coaching course at the moment and I am very aware that as an overweight middle aged woman I don't have much credibility when it comes to the pointier end of competition! To the point I wonder how portrays the club to some people.
Velociraptor Feb 2021 5:23pm, 10 Feb 2021 51,429 posts	0 Velociraptor Enjoyed that article, SODIron. It has echoes of what Steve Ingham describes in How To Support A Champion, regarding both his own development as a coach and his approach to different athletes depending on their experience, personality, and level of engagement with the scientific aspects of their sport. Irontubs, I think that's a very rational concern that needs exploring, and may be a perceptual barrier which puts off lots of people who might be very capable coaches.

It seems to of resonated well across the UK and global coaching community.

I had a chance to train with Harry Wilson briefly when I lived in England in the late 1990s (unfortunately I ended up getting injured before doing much racing with him, and then he passed away while I was still injured). He was such a genuinely nice man." It seems the article is gaining traction in the world of coaching.
