Tristar Athletes Mentorship team vs elite team

Cliff Scherb ·

Tristar Athlete, from time to time you may move from one program to the next based on your goals and training focus. We have put together quick comparison between the main differences for you to help determine which team program is right for you.

Communication

  • The ELITE team is a 1x1 coaching relationship with one of our certified coaches, where as the the MENTORSHIP team is a coach to athlete to group relationship. For communication under the ELITE team you and your coach will speak live, FaceTime or meet in person when possible towards your progress and goals. The Mentorship team has communication feedback only on monthly live Zoom calls.

  • ELITE members can text and email their coaches based on these best communication practices.

  • The MENTORSHIP team does not offer text or phone support however consultations can be purchased a la carte.



Analysis

  • ELITE team; Your coach will be monitoring your progress from training peaks in your comments and updating your plan based on your ELITE communication level A,B,C). Insights to your progress and development are part of the analysis.

  • The MENTORSHIP team has analysis via our weekly facebook meetings only or a la carte paid sessions with a Tristar coach.



Plan Updates

  • ELITE Athletes have their plans updated regularly (daily, weekly, monthly per their ELITE level A,B,C)

  • MENTORSHIP athletes have their plans updated for each block (~every four weeks) based on their athlete progress form submission and comments to their coach (See more here )


Coach Selection

  • Our coaching staff maintains their rosters and slots on a first come first serve basis.

  • Changing Programs; If you decide to move from the ELITE team to the MENTORSHIP team we cannot guarantee coaching availability at the ELITE level. We do our best to accommodate however each coach has a finite amount of dedicated individuals they can work with.

As the adage goes, there is no ”I” in team and I want to join your team, helping get you to the start and finish lines of your races.  I enjoy creating individualized training plans that reward discipline and consistency as well as providing experienced guidance to achieve your goals." —Coach Suzanne Turner

"Consistency trumps 'big days'. Continuously making deposits in the fitness bank, as small as they may sometimes seem, will make a big withdrawal on race day that much more manageable. That said, every so often 'life happens' and some course-correction is inevitable - that's where the TriStar coaching approach, backed by science and experience, is guaranteed to make a difference." —Coach Attila Kelemen

After suffering an injury, Adam started swimming and biking to satisfy his need for an active lifestyle. “It was a much needed break from the thousands of running miles logged training and racing. I developed a whole new competitive drive”. So Adam set out to take on the triathlon world.
