At Rising Tide Coaching, we believe in fostering a fun, inclusive, and safe environment for junior athletes to excel in the sport of triathlon. I work closely with young athletes aged 10 to 18, focusing on all three disciplines while introducing them to nutrition and race strategies. Our approach ensures that the needs of juniors, teenage athletes, and their parents are met. Our principal coach is also the president of the Toowoomba Tri Club and one of two development coaches there.
Fun and Skill Development for Junior Athletes
Younger athletes are primarily motivated by fun, making it essential to incorporate engaging activities in their training. Prioritising enjoyment enables coaches to effectively teach new skills, maintain interest, and develop important physical abilities such as balance, agility, and coordination.
Teenage athletes face various social and emotional challenges that may impact their sports experience. Our coaches focus on creating an inclusive atmosphere by helping newcomers adapt to the training environment and fostering camaraderie among teammates. Offering additional training for dedicated athletes ensures that all skill levels are catered to, while maintaining a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone.
Safety and Peace of Mind for Parents
Rising Tide Coaching is committed to ensuring the safety of our young athletes. All coaches are well-trained in first aid (updated every three years) and CPR (updated annually) and must hold a Blue Card, providing peace of mind for parents entrusting their children to our care.
Encouragement and Recognition for Growth
Recognising and celebrating small victories is crucial for boosting confidence and motivating young athletes. By acknowledging individual achievements and team successes, our coaches promote a positive and supportive environment where athletes can thrive.
Building Strong Values and Relationships
At Rising Tide Coaching and Toowoomba Tri Club, we maintain a strict policy against bullying and negative behaviors, fostering mutual respect and sportsmanship. Encouraging these values helps athletes feel valued, strengthens team bonds, and contributes to a strong, supportive community for our young athletes and their families.
We are dedicated to providing the best possible experience for junior and teenage athletes, helping them grow both in the sport and as individuals. Join Rising Tide Coaching and Toowoomba Tri Club in our mission to nurture the next generation of triathletes.
