I believe I can speak with some authority on this (trust me it's the only thing I can speak on-don't know much else in life) and to give some back ground I was one of the first batch of 30 or so USAT certified coaches in 98. Since 2000 I have been helping USAT by presenting to aspiring new coaches on various subjects. After going through the USAT Level Three certification almost two years ago I really began thinking about this subject and the various moving parts.

Triathletes now have even better access to their coaches with an innovative online client management system developed by PTS. The only system of its kind for multisport coaches and athletes, the online Client Management System (www.performancetrainingsystems.com/cms) allows PTS coaches to access their clients’ critical information at any time.
