when i started doing triathlon, there is no triathlon team nor coach. all i did was to train with people who are better in the different disciplines. i will try to swim with the swimmers, run with the runners and bike with the cyclists.
i will read all about triathlon from the one and only triathlete magazine, read Dave Scott training bible and just talk to people. anyone who has something to tell me about triathlon i will listen.
and i did this in the midst of my university education while working part time as home tutor for my allowance.
it was 20 years ago.
in the school that i coached, we persuade athletes to come for training, we provide coaching, training program beyond the training sessions, run camp and give talks on areas concerning the sports like nutrition and injury. we try to be comprehensive and encouraging.
even managed to get school to sponsor entry fees for races and attire.
most people will complained that motivation is the reason why they are not training...
there is a team who will train with you regularly that you need not travel afar for, just walk down to the pool or track in school.
and there is a coach who will correct your techique that you did not spend money for. most private sessions are $80 - $120 for techique correction.
but there are still others who complained that they can't do the sports because they have no time nor money for the expensive cool gear. can you give up some social life for training or use functional but not too cool gear?
granted you might not be interested, then there is no point is trying.
but if you are keen, what is the real reason for not benefitting from the training?
