Meet the Coaches
Shaun Green
Keen sportsman since a child, coming from a football and then rugby background as a player.
In 1996, became interested in multi-sport events, competing in the Rowathlon at Palmer Park, Reading.
I began delivering fitness training as a young soldier, having completed an instructor course in 1988.
Completed ASA Assistant Teachers Course in February 1997 and became an active swim coach, teaching 4, 5 and 6 year olds; this was challenging and helped develop my coaching skills.
I then started swim coaching at Army Triathlon training camps as my interest for the sport grew. I became a BTA Coach in 2001.
I have gained a wealth of experience in planning and delivering fitness and sport specific training over a 20 year period, as well as competing in many multisport events over all distances, including an Ironman.

I completed my first triathlon back in September 2000 and got the bug.
I have completed all distances from novice (200m swim; 20km bike; 2.5km run) through to Ironman (2.4mile swim; 112mile bike; 26.2mile run).
My focus is now the Ironman distance (its a nice day out). After receiving invaluable coaching from Shaun (Green), I decided to give back to triathlon through coaching and am currently qualified as:
British Triathlon Federation Level 2 Coach
Amateur Swimming Association Level 2 Teacher
Amateur Swimming Association Fundamentals of Freestyle CPD
UK Athletics Level 2 Coach
Sports Nutritionist
Advanced Cycle Mechanic and Wheel Builder
Sports Psychology
