Triathlon Coaching Reviews

Jarrod Evans uses a holistic approach to individually train each of his athletes. He considers all aspects of sports performance to formulate a plan: psychology, personal interests, physiological response, training background, and more. Jarrod trained me to progress not just for the next season, but to keep progressing and enjoy the sport long into the future.

Jarrod Evans has been one of the most interactive and knowledgeable coach’s of my athletic career. If you are looking to see some progress in this grueling sport of triathlon, Jarrod Evans will be able to take you to the next level. Jarrod doesn’t neglect anything, he takes time to focus on each and every weakness without disregarding your strengths.

Professional, patient, detail oriented, intelligent and organized, Jarrod Evans embodies everything I look for in a coach. For Coach Jarrod, coaching is more than just a job, it’s what he loves to do. His passion for the sport and dedication to the development and well-being of his athletes is incredible. I am so grateful to be a current athlete in his squad.
I joined Coach Jarrod Evan’s squad never having never done a triathlon in my life. I attribute my progression from total newbie to elite ITU triathlete to Coach Jarrod. He works hard each day to create a world-class training environment in which we can grow, learn, push ourselves and achieve. I know I still have a lot of learning and growth ahead of me, but I couldn’t think of a better environment to do so in!

Coach Jarrod Evans -- founder and head coach at Triathlon GOLD brings almost a decade of coaching experience to his role as well as years of professional racing prior to that. I joined Jarrod's squad in order to further commit to my goal of competing at Olympic Trials. Jarrod is not scared to push his athletes but does an incredible job of finding that delicate balance of expanding limits without overdoing it. He is very analytical and thoughtful and is on deck for every session we complete. I've seen firsthand why he has been able to develop more than a couple elite female triathletes currently racing at the top of the sport. I highly recommend reaching out to Jarrod if you want to take your performance to the next level, whether at the junior elite, NCAA, or elite level.

Whether you are trying to make major improvements in an area or looking for a coach to polish you off, Jarrod is your coach. His expertise in all aspects of triathlon combined with his tireless planning and workout management, you are sure to achieve the progress you desire.

My progress in just 12 months with Jarrod included:

3+ minute drop in my 1500m swim

Faster and more fluid transitions

Technical improvements on the bike

Increased threshold wattage on the bike

Running much closer to my 100% capability off of the bike.



I would encourage anyone who wants to improve their performance to strongly consider Jarrod, you will not leave any stone unturned in your efforts to become better.

Through luck and circumstance, I was one of the fortunate few to have had Jarrod Evans as a coach. Jarrod began with me as a (very) injured athlete with low confidence at the time. Not many people would take on a project like this, but without hesitation he did. I would be remiss if I did not credit where I am now to Jarrod Evans. He is by far and beyond one of the most patient and detail oriented coaches I have come across, and this alone speaks volumes. He created an environment of open communication and feedback that I believe was a key part to my success in continued health (and happiness!)
Though I am no longer with Jarrod, I use his approach daily in my continued training. He instilled and taught me some of the most valuable skills as an athlete to be able to reach the highest level. Whatever the future may hold, I credit and owe a lot to Jarrod Evans as a coach. Thank you!

Jarrod Evans possess every quality you’d want in a great coach. He’s motivational, caring, extremely knowledgeable, disciplined and dedicated to each of his athletes and the sport. More importantly, he instills these qualities in each of his athletes. He takes the time to build each athlete individually working on improving exactly what each individual needs specifically. His training and coaching technique not only builds a strong and well conditioned athlete, but also builds confidence in athletes to believe their ability to reach new goals.

I started off doing triathlon, training under another coach other than Jarrod and was doing ok but I wanted to get over my plateau in performance and everyone was telling me how good of a coach Jarrod was, so I made the tough decision to leave the coach and team I was training with at the time to get Jarrod’s help obtaining my goals which I have exceeded to date. In just a year and a half Jarrod trained me up to do my first Ironman and I completed it, in 9hours and 7 mins. I went onto become a 2 x Ironman World Age Group Champion as well thanks to Jarrod. Jarrod’s program makes training interesting and challenging but at the same time you don’t realise how much work you have actually put in. But what makes Jarrod such a successful coach is his passion for coaching. It is clear Jarrod is the hardest working and most dedicated coach I have ever met, he is worth far more than the fee charged. If you are willing to put in the work Jarrod will guide you to achieve and exceed your goals. I am forever thankful for Jarrod’s service in helping me be the best I can be.

In 2012 I raced my sixth ironman in Busselton hoping for a Kona slot. I had a good day, but only finished third in my age group getting smashed by two athletes racing their first ironman (one of whom was a current member of Jarrod’s HP Team). I knew I’d put in the work and shouldn’t have been beaten in the way I had. At the time I had a coach here in Perth who was very good and helped me fall in love with triathlon. For that, I’m truly thankful. However, I had limited contact with him in terms of my training and preparation. I felt in order to improve I needed a coach with more involvement. Jarrod reviewed all my training files daily and we corresponded on a daily basis and made change and improvement on a daily basis. It is a continually evolving partnership. Together we made improvements I never would have thought possible. He has coached 25+ World Age Group Champions and his athletes results speak for themselves. I’m eternally grateful to Jarrod and his team for helping me full-fill my dream of being an Ironman World Age Group Champion and I’m excited about what we can accomplish in the future.

In the 18 months I have been working with Jarrod I have achieved results beyond my expectations. From 5 consecutive AG wins over various distances, to obtaining my professional license and starting my Pro 70.3 Career with a podium. This is a testament to his coaching. Jarrod is extremely professional, patient and detail orientated. I have learned an incredible amount from him in a very short period of time and can not recommend Jarrod highly enough for any athlete who is serious about taking their performance to the next level.
