MORE ABOUT OUR CERTIFICATION COURSE
The Playtri Coaching Certification course earns incoming Playtri coaches the title of Level 2 Playtri Coach and the ability to begin taking athletes immediately upon completion, with the supervision and mentorship of an experienced Playtri Coach. The course is based on over 20 years of triathlon coaching experience and study, and has helped coaches over the years get hundreds, if not thousands of athletes to their multisport goals.
Certification is completed 100% from the comfort of your home with the help of virtual training modules, reading assignments, testing, and help from an experienced coach whenever you have questions about the material.

Accurate load calculation that takes into consideration the varying stresses of swim, bike, run, and strength training
How to write key workouts based on the athlete’s goal(s) and current fitness that will allow you to look the athlete in the eye at the beginning of their program and tell them if you can get them to their goal
Performance testing and its practical applications for athletes of all ability levels (this certification course includes instruction on how to begin performing blood lactate testing on your athletes for the most accurate training zones, wherever you are located!)

WHAT THE ATHLETES HAVE TO SAY
“Playtri individual coaching took the guesswork out of my training, and replaced it with the ability to achieve my goals.” - Evan
“Since becoming a coached athlete, I've shattered all my previous PR's and strengthened my muscle imbalances to eliminate old recurring injuries. They customize the workouts around my availability, which has allowed me to compete in marathons and Ironman 70.3s during the busy times in life when I was switching jobs, getting married, and moving into a new house.” - Ben
“I am grateful that my coach takes an interest in me and my athletic goals. My training is based around my life and goals, not my life based around my training.” - Amy
“Combining the years of knowledge and research my coach has along with science has been a great experience. I have learned to trust the process and train with purpose.” - Shannon
