This week arguably one of the greatest triathlon coaches of all time joins The Excellence Verse Podcast, Joel Filliol.
Joel started coaching in Canada and helped triathlon great Simon Whitfield win a silver medal at the Beijing Olympic games. He then moved on to become head coach of British triathlon and helped Alistair and Jonny Brownlee win gold and bronze at the 2012 Olympic games. Since then Joel has coached athletes to Over 30 World Triathlon Series wins and more than 90 wts podiums, in addition to 6 overall World Triathlon Championships Titles, and has just recently been announced as the head coach of Triathlon Australia.
In this episode we talk Joel’s journey, how he has coached athletes to consecutive world championships, his views on athlete development and so much more.
I have been fascinated by Joel’s coaching philosophy and success for numerous years and it was such an honour to get to spend nearly two hours with him, so a massive thank you to Joel.
