Triathlon is a dynamic sport and most beneficial when approached from
a long-term perspective. While triathlon consists of three sports, it
cannot be viewed as three separate events; it is the sum total that
makes it a unique sport. At Victory's Edge, we use multiple factors
building your training plans, including stress levels, rest,
psychological and physical health, native ability, and life style. We
develop a close relationship with each individual in order to maximize
the training experience for optimal results. And, with an e-mail or a
phone call, athletes can promptly reach out directly to their coach.
Triathlon is a life long health and fitness activity; it is a life
sport. Our introduction of youth to the sport of triathlon is a great way to
get physically fit for a lifetime. Age appropriate training is key to
ensuring young triathletes develop properly and compete at their best.
Our coaches' education and experience equip then with the necessary skills and
tools to enhance youth and juniors' performance through proper
technique, training and recovery. The end result is achieving a
feeling of success and accomplishment throughout the sport of
triathlon. We, at Victory's Edge, help them set realistic and
achievable goals while making their training exciting, fun rewarding
but most importantly, Safe!
Why use a Youth Coaching Expert?
Amateur sports used to mean varsity and league teams in high school
and college, but today more than thirty million kids play on a wide
range of recreational and competitive or select teams at younger and
younger ages. Parents want to encourage safe sports for their children, both on the
field and off. Whether your athlete is a six-year-old beginner or the
star of a youth triathlon Victory's Edge(r) provides guidance on
everything from working with youth to preventing and treating
sports-related injuries.
Victory's Edge has designed programs with the defined objectives of
helping to put fun back into physical activity, and to enable your
young athlete to be the best that he or she can be, both on and off
the field.
Victory's Edge provides two kinds of guidelines. First, it helps both
you and your child keep a sensible perspective on the benefits of
organized sports and avoid a "win at all costs" mentality. Victory's
Edge coaches help parents evaluate real-life situations and decisions.
We address the concerns of parents who have no experience in sports
but want to encourage their children to achieve their utmost
potential.
Using a qualified coach specializing in youth and junior development
can help ensure you are getting the most out of your child's training
program. Youth coaches observe the big picture. If your child is struggling
with putting all the components of a triathlon together, performance
during a race, comparing themselves to their peers or running out of
energy during training then their lack of professional youth coaching
may be part of the problem. Victory's Edge training programs are
designed specifically for youth and juniors based on their development
both physically and psychologically.
Victory's Edge provides age group athletes and fitness enthusiasts of all ages and abilities with professional, effective and courteous coaching and guidance to help you achieve your goals.
