USA Triathlon Coaching Certification Program
The USA Triathlon Coaching Certification Program was established
in 1996 under the direction of George Dallam, former USA Triathlon
National Teams Coach. In line with the United States Olympic Committee’s
goals of long-range planning for athlete and coaching development,
the USA Triathlon Coaching Certification Program was born. Dallam
organized a group of triathlon coaches to form the USA Triathlon
National Coaching Committee (NCC). The National Coaching Committee
established the original coaching certification levels and athlete/coach
competencies for all levels of development. The National Coaching
Committee serves in an advisory capacity, working with the National
Teams Program director and staff for USA Triathlon’s coaching
certification and education programs.

Chip Kazmier
I would highly recommend Hollie Kenney as a coach for all
levels of Triathletes based on my own experience with Hollie for
the last two and half years. Hollie has helped me race at all
levels of triathlon, from sprints to Ironman, to Xterra.
Hollie has provided a training program for me based on my
race goals each year that fit my competition level, my training
level, as well as my personal schedule so I could achieve those
race goals. The training program Hollie can provide is absolutely
dynamic around training at my ability level. Hollie has kept my
training on track during a move from Florida to Chicago and back
to Florida. Hollie has helped me develop my multi-sport scope
by helping me with: development of a race season that makes sense
for the goals I want to achieve, race and training nutrition,
weight training, motivation, and providing specific and achievable
workouts based on regular discussions of how my training is progressing.
Additionally, Hollie has helped me through injuries by not
only changing my workouts but, by helping me see injury specialists
in my area to make sure I was getting the best care to recover
and race.

I think the better question is, “is there anything
that Hollie has not helped me with?” Let me take you through
the process of choosing a coach for training, as I am sure that
we shared the same thoughts.
1) I don’t need a coach, I have done a half Ironman
on my own, right?;
2) What is a Internet coach going to do for me;
3) Is a personal coach really expensive?
First, Hollie is not expensive. I work in the environmental
field, which does not pay well, and can still afford Hollie. On
top of that, think of it like this. The added money you will spend
on a bike that is supposed to shed seconds off of your triathlon
time is far more than the 30 minutes that using Hollie will shed
off of my triathlon time by having her as a coach.
Next, the internet. Yes, it’s scary to have an internet
coach. However, the things that she has done for me over internet,
e-mail, and the phone have equaled anything that someone can do
in person. She has personalized a workout schedule for me, added
in extra swim workouts (albeit I still hold a grudge for her doing
that ?) because my swimming sucks, gotten me onto a swimming masters
team, gotten me discounts on a bike, equipment, and even recommended
me to a doctor that has been pivotal in improving my migraines
and my foot problems. She has also helped me with nutrition, maintaining
weight, losing weight, and just staying healthy. Oh yea, and Hollie
is also there to answer every crazy, stupid, ridicules question
or fear I have of doing an Ironman. And believe me, that is a
lot…. And did I mention that I already see results, just
after a few months. I did an hour long swim in January, and swam
1.4 miles (give or take a few), and just last Friday I did a 1.2
mile swim (half Ironman distance) in 37 minutes, and when I get
signed up for another postal (that is the hour long) swim, I expect
to be over 2 miles, which is a huge increase in distance over
the same amount of time. My biking has also gotten faster as I
am forced (well, not really forced) to learn the technique called
spinning, and my running speed has stayed consistent, which, given
the fact that I used to run huge distances for fun, I have no
idea how my running times have not decreased, but my mileage has,
although my feet and legs feel much better.However, Hollie
knows, understands, and gets it, and that’s really what’s
important.
Finally, because Hollie is a professional herself, if there
is ever a problem or question about the sport that she cannot
answer, there is always someone she knows that does, and I have
used her for this several times, as she has willingly referred
me to some of her friends for answers.
