Meet the coaching team
DBS checked, safeguarding trained, and qualified with British Triathlon — our coaches write and tailor every session by age and ability.
Sean
Sean
Ironman triathlete & Head Coach
Sean is a Group Coach (Level 2) and an Ironman triathlete himself. He retired from the Army last year and can normally be found in his garage training! He writes the training programme for both the triathlon and run clubs, which is then tailored by age and ability for every group.
Kate & Jonathan
Kate
Kate is a Group Coach (Level 2) — and the longest distance she’s willing to do is an Olympic distance! Kate started COPT in 2020 when she realised there was no triathlon provision in Preston. She has a BA (Hons) in Sports Studies, and mainly coaches the entry-level and recreational groups, loving every chance to welcome new juniors into our friendly club.
Jonathan
Jonathan is a Group Coach (Level 2) and has recently been supporting the North West development pathway for Tri Star 2 and 3. His son is also an academy athlete, and we’re so grateful for the time he donates to the club.
