USAT Youth and Junior Certifications - TSF Among the First in the Country

USAT_Youth_Certification_logo_1.jpg
Congratulations to coaches Matt Russ and Holly Marzetti, who recently traveled to Colorado Springs, CO, in January to earn their USAT Youth and Junior Coaching Certifications. They are among the first in the country to earn this certification.   

According to USAT's program description, the Youth and Junior Coaching Certification Program is designed to educate current USAT certified coaches on how to train youth and junior athletes safely and effectively throughout their developmental stages. The course provides coaches with specialized youth and junior coaching skills and drills, age appropriate training regimes and testing protocols, physiological and nutritional considerations, and basic training techniques to develop successful youth and junior athletes.

Both Matt and Holly have years of experience coaching some of the country's most successful junior athletes to state, regional, and national championship titles. For the past year, The Sport Factory has been carefully planning the development of a formal Youth and Junior Triathlon Program, and earning these certifications was not only a great fit for their interest and experience, but also an important part of the preparation and launch of this new program -- further supporting The Sport Factory's commitment to the highest level of preparation and education when offering programs to our athletes.

Coach Matt is already one of a handful of Level III (Elite) Coaches in the country.  More information about The Sport Factory's Youth and Junior Triathlon program can be found here, including more detailed information about the program's coaches.
