Triathlon Coaching Reviews

I sought out Jarrod to be my coach due to his knowledge, experience and expertise. And whilst this is undeniable and extremely evident every day, what stands out the most when training under Jarrod is the way in which he goes about coaching his athletes and applying his knowledge. Put simply, Jarrod is one of the best humans you will ever come across. You will not find anyone more attentive, patient or kinder than Jarrod. Jarrod’s level of communication and his responsiveness is also so exemplary, that I often forget that we have a distance coaching arrangement. Jarrod takes the time to get to know you and tailors your program to work in a way that compliments your lifestyle. His sessions are well explained and his feedback is fast and thorough. All of this combines to create a very trustworthy environment where athletes thrive - both with their results and importantly their level of enjoyment. I explicitly trust Jarrod and his coaching method and know it will yield great, and most importantly, sustainable results.Further to all of this, I have found Jarrod to be a wealth of knowledge when it comes to gear selection, injury prevention, nutrition and hydration. I feel extremely privileged to be counted as one of his athletes.

Despite not being coached by Triathlon Gold I was offered the opportunity to attend a 3 day technique focused swim/run camp in Scottsdale AZ. It was an amazing learning experience and I came away from it with both a long list of practical improvement opportunities and a deeper understanding of how the pros operate. We benefited from Jarrod Evans’ expertise of coaching the Australian Olympic team, Ben Kanute’s knowledge as a top level pro triathlete and Brenton Ford’s decades of teaching swim technique. We 8 lucky students bombarded them with questions for 3 days and enjoyed helpful and transparent answers. Jarrod provided each of us with a personalized assessment of improvement opportunities with the best return on time. If you are ever lucky enough to get the opportunity to attend one of Triathlon Gold’s camps you should jump on it immediately, it is worth every penny and will help you take your racing to the next level.

As a master athlete, I’ve been racing triathlons for a few years, but I only started taking itseriously about a year ago. A couple of months after working with Jarrod, I went from consistently placing around 10th to taking 1st place in a local race. Not only that, but I’ve also secured a spot to represent my country at the Age Group World Championships—a testament to the level of training he provides. I’ve worked with other coaches before, but none have elevated my performance the way Jarrod has. If you’re truly committed, he’s all in with you. His training isn’t easy—nor should it be if you’re serious about reaching podium or training like an elite. Every session is intentional, structured, and focused on long-term success. The progress is there for the taking, but consistency is key. One thing I appreciate most is his no-nonsense approach—he won’t sugarcoat your trajectory, but he will set you on a realistic, high-performance path tailored to your potential. Whether your goal is to qualify for world championships or dominate the local circuit, he ensures you’re training with precision and purpose. I’ll be honest—I almost don’t want to share this secret weapon. For those looking to level up with elite-tier coaching and conditioning, I couldn’t recommend Jarrod enough. If you want to go all in, make sure he’s in your corner.

Jarrod has been an incredible coach for Claire throughout her time in the AusTri Talent Transfer Program. He’s patient, adaptable, and genuinely understands the challenges of balancing high-level sport with school life. What has stood out most is how well he supports Claire as a whole person—not just as an athlete. He’s helped her become more intentional with her training and racing, and as a result, she’s thrived. Winning the Aquathlon Junior World Championship and qualifying for the Junior Worlds in Wollongong later this year is a real reflection of the positive environment he’s created. As a parent, I’m absolutely convinced Jarrod is the right coach for Claire. He listens, adjusts, and always has her development and goals at the centre of what he does. I trust him completely and am grateful for the role he’s played in her journey so far.

Jarrod is a fantastic coach. He has worked tirelessly and thoughtfully with my two daughters to develop training programs and race plans that are truly tailored to them and helping them build towards their goals. I’d wholeheartedly recommend Jarrod as a coach to work with if you are targeting the highest levels in this challenging and truly fantastic sport.

I have been coached by Jarrod for the since early 2024 and during that time, I have seen massive improvements across my bike and swim, as well as skills. He provides a great level of communication every hour of every day, showing his dedication to helping all athletes improve. I am very grateful for Jarrod’s investment in my triathlon journey, and the knowledge and expertise he provides.

Training under Jarrod Evans has been, by far, the best experience of my athletic journey. The coaching is professional, tailored, and genuinely focused on helping each athlete improve and grow. I can safely say that without Jarrod's unwavering dedication, I would not be the athlete I am today. His depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and commitment to getting the best out of every individual is unmatched.

Jarrod has an exceptional ability to find the right balance for each athlete, always putting well-being at the forefront of every conversation. He genuinely cares about his athletes, making sure that performance never comes at the expense of health or enjoyment. Jarrod is honest and his encouragement makes a huge difference when training gets tough.
His knowledge of the sport is incredible, and it’s a big reason behind my rapid progress. In just under a month, his tailored approach has helped me significantly improve my cycling power and running economy. While swimming has always been my strongest leg, under his guidance I’m now hitting times close to when I was swimming competitively. His coaching keeps you accountable, includes in-depth reviews of every session, and adapts to your specific needs and life outside of training.
Beyond the numbers, I’m enjoying the sport more than ever, learning constantly, and feeling truly supported. I really couldn’t speak more highly of Jarrod—his knowledge, care, and commitment make him an outstanding coach.

Jarrod’s approach to training athletes is clearly grounded in a great level of understanding and experience in triathlon. In the months that I’ve been coached by him, I’ve been impressed with his ability to create meaningful and purposeful training plans that cater to my individual circumstances and lead to significant improvements in multiple areas. His understanding of the technical aspects of each discipline and their application into training has made me better and more efficient. The level of communication is unmatched and is a huge support in continually working towards my goals on a daily basis. His guidance in injury advice, the importance of hydration, and the development of strength and technique has been exceptional.

We engaged Jarrod to provide structure and guidance for our daughter. He has provided a great platform and made her accountable for her training with fantastic communication.
