Tim Reed: Online Coaching
Qualifications:
BPDHPE, BEd (Advanced Exercise Physiology), Cert III and Cert IV in Fitness, Cert IV in Remedial Massage, Professional triathlete, Running and triathlon coach.
While I was studying to become a PDHPE teacher I started playing around with triathlon to keep the weight off and became hugely passionate about exercise physiology and more specifically, the best methods for training endurance athletes. From there using myself as a test subject I experimented with different coaches, training methods and self coaching while continually studying and learning any new data that has implications for promoting healthy, time efficient ways to get the best possible performance given from an athletes available training time. I take a lot of pride in continuing to do my best to stay up to date with the science behind improving athletic performance however believe that the practical knowledge I’ve learnt from years of training, racing and coaching with the best in endurance sports is better than any knowledge gained from a textbook.
My primary coaching goal is to help athletes reach their best possible performance with the most time efficient use of their realistic training time. I see many coaches and athletes subscribe to a lot of training that simply takes up a lot of extra time with very little benefit. Especially for those that are busy with work, family commitments or other interests I understand that you may not have a lot of time and need to make every session really count towards your goals. My highly individualised training programs are customised for clients ability and time limitations.
As an athlete I have worked with a range of coaches and in the last few years worked with coaching genius, Grant Giles (www.aeromaxteam.com) who continues to support my training. Through Grant’s and my own coaching I was able to coach my rather untalented self to win my age group at the Australian Long Course Triathlon Championships, placing 2nd at the Hawaii Ironman World Championships in the same age category and since turning professional have had the immense satisfaction of seeing my consistently smart training pay off with multiple professional podium finishes across a range of distances and triathlon formats including winning the Australian Long Course Championships.
I have spent time racing professionally in Europe and the United States where I have been able to question and learn from some of the world’s best international athletes and coaches. Now that I’m racing professionally I have a lot of time to focus on the athletes I coach providing a lot of online support to adjust programs and stay in touch with how things are going.
Compared to what is currently offered in online coaching I firmly believe that the service I offer is of excellent value. My coaching service includes:
- A genuine interest in how my athletes are going as well as thoroughly enjoying it when my athletes have a good time and achieve their goals.
- Email support
- Phone Support (differs according to coaching level)
- Core stability, strength and flexibility sessions included within the training program.
- An overall plan and weekly training program showing descriptive daily sessions adjusted to realistically fit in your work/life schedule.
- Dietary review and recommendations. (Silver and Gold level)
