Working Triathlete Elite Team Application
The Working Triathlete Elite Team is composed of elite/professional triathletes dedicated to getting better and reaching their potential. It’s a community dedicated to empowering athletes to intelligently, scientifically, and efficiently reach their true potential in triathlon.
The standards are high. We only accept athletes who have qualified for their pro card (either possessing it currently or at one time) or who have shown truly world-class performance in one of the sports, with solid competency in the others.
There are few truly elite teams where members work with one another consistently to become better. This is especially true in the USA, where elite training groups are fragmented, and professionals mainly work out solo or with a solitary coach.
The model
Group Workouts: Multiple coached weekly workouts will occur in each discipline (swim, bike, and run). The core group is based out of Nashville, TN, though membership isn’t limited to those living in Nashville. We do, however, highly encourage applicants to consider relocating or making frequent trips to Middle Tennessee. There are many benefits to training with others, and this is often a missing piece holding would-be professionals back from reaching the next level.
Coaching: An essential piece of improving is having another person in your corner, objectively analyzing your training, and helping you stay on the right course. WT coaches are obsessed with data and integrating sound training methodologies. Although coached athletes have one main coach, they have access to all coaches on the Working Triathlete staff and can take advantage of our relationships with local performance labs, physical therapists, and top bike fitters. We connect athletes to a full team of professionals to ensure they stay resilient, optimized, and healthy.
Teammates: By joining forces with a team of coaches and teammates obsessed with relentlessly improving, you will be inspired to improve together. Frequent team communication via Slack, messaging, and in-person interaction will help you stay motivated and at the cutting edge of industry developments (training, equipment, and sponsor-related).
Perks: Working Triathlete works with a fleet of sponsors to equip athletes with the best equipment out there. Accepted athletes will receive various products, including a kit, apparel, and more. They will also have a stake in the team's success and benefit from endorsements, team-wide bonuses, and other incentives.
