Thanks, but not really what I was asking. That stuff I know. What I'm trying to get a handle on is whether triathlon is unique with respect to the coaching model, or are there other sports doing the same thing.No, it is not unique in the slightest. Triathlon is an individual sport, most train individually. And accordingly, hire a coach to train them individually. Many other sports and endeavors are the same. Tennis is an individual sport. Hire/contract coach specifically for you and practice individually. Same with golf, boxing, ice skating, weight lifting, squash, snowboarding, alpine skiing, cross country skiing, duathlon, biathlon, ping pong, chess, to name just a few. All individual sports using same coaching model. Same for that matter as any musical instrument or other individual pursuit.
