Japan Triathlon Coaching Symposium 2023
Every year, the Japan Triathlon Union (JTU) organizes a symposium on coaching for the purpose of developing competitiveness and dissemination of the sport, inviting not only experts of triathlon but other professionals from in and outside the country as well.
This year, in view of contributing to the development of competitiveness of Asia as a whole, we are opening the symposium via webinar to the interested audience of the Asian Triathlon Family.
The keynote speaker will be Mr. Parker Spencer, USA Triathlon High Performance Development Senior Manager & Project Podium Head Coach, who will provide insights on the process beginning from the selection of talent to nurturing them to an elite level. This includes introducing examples of coaching methods used at the front line to aid the development and strengthening of triathletes.
Prior to the keynote lecture, the JTU High Performance staff and coach will introduce how JTU is trying to cultivate and strengthen talent, as well as presenting the interim report on the coaching training program currently underway in the USA (simultaneous Japanese-English translation will be provided).
