Ask A Coach:

What is an athlete?

Last Friday I took the USAT Paratriathlon Level 1 coaching certification course.

• Taught by L3 Chris Palmquist and Melissa Mantek
• Classifications
• PTWC 1-2

Ptwc1 - no core muscle strength and get a head start (2-3 minutes)

Ptwc2 - some core strength

• PTS 2-5 (why no 1)
• PTVI 1-2
• 1 black out completely blind and then where black out goggles and glasses (head start)
• Multi factor rubric to classify
• Swim, Bike and Run rules, equipment...
• Alyssa Seely does not like to be helped

Adaptive Adventures

So when I look at the question what is an athlete? My answer to that is the one who most consistently acts like an athlete. Trains like an athlete. Thinks like an athlete. An athlete doesn't have to have all four limbs and all 10 fingers to be an athlete those don't make an athlete. The mind and the decisions, actions, behaviors and habits make an athlete.

Which brings me to a challenge to our listeners.

1. If you are gifted with the ability to be active and participate in running, cycling, triathlon, swimming, don't take advantage of it while you can. Instead of "I have to" you say "I get to".
2. Reframing is a powerful tool. When you are on the run of your IRONMAN, instead of saying "I have 4 long more hours on this course, poor me", Instead remind yourself of how far you have come to get to this point. How many months of training, the long training days. Say to yourself, "I only have 4 short hours before this journey is over, soak it in".

Also, as you think about the end of your season and you think about how you are going to spend the next few months, remind yourself if you are gifted and fully abled think about how you want to spend your time.
