ITCA Triathlon Coaching Association Provides
Education, Training for Nonprofit Race Events
(1888PressRelease) The International Triathlon
Coaching Association (ITCA) trains coaches who
can help the growing number of nonprofits that
are turning to triathlons and other races as
fundraisers. The online training incorporates
science, application and successful business
models. More than ever, nonprofits and charities
are turning to triathlons and other endurance
races for their major fundraising efforts.
Whether it's a sprint length, a traditional
triathlon or an Ironman race, the International
Triathlon Coaching Association (ITCA) can educate
and certify coaches to help athletes and
participants complete both safely and
successfully. The comprehensive online triathlon
coach training teaches coaches how to safely
prepare athletes for races of any distance,
including education on individual history and
goals, personal milestones, appropriate pace
training zones and heart rate training zones as
well as the science of kinesiology, biomechanics,
aerodynamics, nutrition and sports psychology
that can all impact race performance. "Whether
it's a race to support breast cancer research,
the prevention heart disease or diabetes, or a
local cause, triathlons and endurance events make
great fundraisers - they are fun to support, fun
to watch and fun to participate in," said John
Spencer Ellis, founder of the ITCA and John
Spencer Ellis Enterprises, a leading national
fitness and personal development solutions
company. "Training, however, should be safe and
effective as well as fun, which is why having a
credentialed and trained coach is so important
for athletes of all levels." As triathlons
continue to grow at an exponential pace, more
nonprofits and charities are adding race events
throughout the United States. In-demand, trained
triathlon coaches can help companies, nonprofits
and individuals train with safe, scientific
principles. The ITCA online, self-paced training,
then, provides a blueprint for coaching that
includes science, application and proven business
models.
