Coaches learn from their athletes, too.

Sometimes it’s a lesson about communication. Sometimes it changes how you approach training. And sometimes an athlete completely shifts the way you think about coaching.

What’s something an athlete taught you that has stuck with you?

Before assigning a workout, know what you want it to accomplish.

When the purpose of a session is clear, it becomes easier to make smart adjustments to intensity, volume, recovery, or ex*****on without losing sight of the bigger goal.

Every workout should have a reason for being there.

What should endurance coaches consider when working with para-athletes?

In the latest UESCA blog post, UESCA Mentor and triathlon coach Jim Rowe shares lessons from his experience coaching paratriathletes and other para-athletes across endurance sports.

Four considerations he explores:

✅ Treat each para-athlete as an N=1

✅ Prioritize recovery and skin care

✅ Be ready to learn more than you are ready to coach

✅ Find a coach mentor

Working with para-athletes requires curiosity, adaptability and a willingness to learn from the athlete in front of you. As Jim explains, the athlete is the expert on their lived experience, and that knowledge should help inform how you coach.

What can endurance coaches learn from the Norwegian approach to training? 🇳🇴

A study examining the practices of world-leading Norwegian endurance coaches offers a closer look at how elite athletes structure training across intensity zones.

A few themes stand out: lots of low-intensity work, controlled rather than exhaustive hard sessions, repeatable workout structures, and an emphasis on quality ex*****on and recovery.

The takeaway for coaches? More intensity isn’t always better. Consistency, control, and the ability to repeat quality work matter.

Swipe through for 5 coaching takeaways from the research. ➡️
