At the end of 2014 we were excited to announce the set up of the South Central Regional Academy which is a place to provide guidance for triathlon coaches, clubs , parents and young athletes who aspire to compete at Olympic level within the sport of triathlon.
The academy acts as a direct link between the South Central region and the British Triathlon Federation Talent Programme.
The South Central academy will be led by Scott Murray who has been contracted as the South Central Academy Regional Head Coach . Ten young athletes have been selected as academy athletes from the trials held in September and will be invited to attend regular coaching days with the first held at Oxford University at the end of January.
Scott Murray will always be on the look out for any potential stars in the making in your clubs, so please drop him a line if you would like more information – scott@synergiecoaching.com
