Event information

A CPD opportunity for triathlon coaches to learn from experienced cycling coaches. The session will cover the following:

09:00-11:00

• Understand the importance of body positioning, group riding, drafting, and cornering for safe and effective cycling performance.
• Learn how to design coaching sessions within your club or community that develop these key cycling skills.
• Create your own session plans to support athletes in developing confidence and competence on the bike.
• Explore high-quality example session plans from our coach specialists, which will be brought to life during the practical afternoon session.
• Practice coaching these skills (Please bring a bike and helmet!) - We recommend a road or gravel bike and discourage a TT bike.

After exploring good coaching practice in the morning, participants will have the opportunity to apply their learning in the afternoon by helping to deliver a cycling skills session for youth athletes alongside our coaching team.
