Our Mission

To develop a passion for an active healthy lifestyle through systematic and progressive sport specific programs, that encourage, fair play, equality, good sportsmenship and the pursuit of personal excellence through sport.

How We Approach our Training

We believe that all athletes regardless of age need to develop the proper skill sets in order to achieve their potential. "

"Technique will determine how far your fitness will take you" is one of Coach Greg's favorite sayings and we develop all athletes based on this ethos.

We stress process over performance for all our athletes through our Storm Troopers and Development Program. Of course at some point performance becomes an important part of continuing in sport and this concept is introduced and supported as the athlete develops objectives and goals where performance is imperative.

Our Provincial, National and International level athletes will have developed a large "vocabulary" of skill sets that enable them to compete in the most challenging of environments. Triathlons are not conducted in a controlled environment like swimming and track are so athletes need to develop an array of skills in order to be competitive on any course. We encourage our athletes to be patient and persistent. Regardless of the objective; to compete at ITU Draft Legal racing, Iron Distance and recreational events all triathletes need to be resilient, determined and tough.
