Coach Jim- The Bible

The Bible- The Beginning
2/3/11

I recently became a USAT certified coach, and with my background as a life long athlete and current professional triathlete, I really look forward to bestowing my values on my athletes, helping them achieve their goals, and experiencing every step of the journey with them.  I was hesitant to publish The Bible, because it comes from my philosophies/heart and it is something I previously only shared with my athetes, but I realize it shows the kind of coach I will be and what I can bring to my athletes.

This is a list I put a list together of important items/thoughts I want you to think about and practice daily.  I send this to all of my athletes.  This list will change over time, and not all of it will make sense to you yet, but it will.  I can further eloborate on any point, just ask me.  I would like you to keep this list visible, remember it, and practice it:

•  Check your EGO at the door
• Remember 1^st: Sleep, Recover, Nutrition
• Be conscience of feel, know your body
• Open communication: questions, thoughts, feelings; Call Me
• I am training you at an elite level.  Everyone is different, but I expect you to put as much into this as I am.  I am not training you to finish, I am training you to WIN/SUCCEED
• This is OUR cult.  Walk with swagger, spread the word, and know I’ll take care of you.
• Tell me about stress, problems, worries, in training and out
• Don’t pile on workouts.  If you miss, tell me and stick to your schedule
• We do this because we love it, if you aren’t loving it, tell me and we’ll deal with it.
• Listen to me
• 3 types of workouts, Recovery/Quality/Technique.  Stick to each.
• Eat to train, don’t train to eat- (Bob Seebohar)  Think about it.
• Fish Oils/Fruits and Vegetables
• Don’t skip strength workouts!
• Think about your movements while training, limit music
• Get it done.  This is not a sport for the procrastianator
• Learn your body, know your Heart Rate Zones.
• Stretch
• I expect your commitment.  I spend a lot of time on you and your training.  I value what I give you, appreciate that value.  If you are not committed, you miss workouts, you don’t take it/me seriously, tell me, so I can do the same.
• Do YOUR best
• Oh yeah, and don’t be a douche bag triathlete, let your actions speak for you
