Richard Thompson

Ironman World Champion 20-24 | Multiple Ironman Age Group Winner | Former Ironman Course Record Holder

I contacted Jarrod Evans because I needed a change to my training approach. I was sick of coming top 10 in my age group at local triathlons. He taught me about hard work as well as what it takes to be a perfect athlete. It only took 2 1/2 years of his guidance and support to for me to become Age Group Ironman World Champion. He is a wealth of knowledge and I am truly grateful for what his has helped me to achieve.

As an online athlete, the choice of online coaches is vast to say the least. Without restriction of location and with communication made simple via email, the choice isn’t even limited to Australia. My initial decision to join Jarrod Evans was based on their proven track record and also through a couple of friend’s recommendations. I can now say, that with the over 3 years with Jarrod Evans, I chose to stay based on the confidence and success I have had with the program and the relationship I have developed with Jarrod as coach. Important to me is the assurance that the coach is one step ahead, in terms of new methodologies and training techniques. My program is tailored to my specific goals and abilities and I know that if I stick to and follow the program, I’ll achieve success. My results in the past years are testimonial to this. Of added value is having Jarrod Evans attending many of my interstate and international races, offering the opportunity for race day support and timely, relevant technique appraisal.

I've seen a huge jump in performance since starting to work with Jarrod 15 months ago. He's professional, detail oriented, thoughtful, and performance-driven. Working with Jarrod, you can be assured you have someone in your corner who backs you and will help you achieve your goals.

James Shalvoy

ITU Professional Triathlete

Jarrod has transformed my athletic career. He has brought me up from an injury prone, age group athlete, to qualifying for my professional license within months of working together. Although he is an absolute expert in anything triathlon related, he takes his time to explain why we do what we do, and he lays it out in terms easily understood by every level of athlete. I am especially amazed at how he gets every last drop of potential out of his athletes while understanding and tailoring his programs in the safest, most effective way possible. Thank you, Jarrod!

Kerri Spanner

Hawaiian Ironman Athlete

Coming into IM Melbourne (which was to be my third ironman), I had two goals – one was to do sub 11 hours and the second was to qualify for Kona. I knew that in order for me to achieve either of these goals, I would need to change the way I trained – which for me meant moving away from the squad environment and moving towards an online coaching program. I approached Jarrod Evans given the high level of results achieved by his athletes – Jarrod designed a program specifically tailored to my goals, athletic ability and family and work situation. The level and quality of training, knowledge and feedback was outstanding and the provision of support networks including nutrition experts led to me achieving not only a top 10 place in Melbourne but also a 70 min PB from the previous Ironman and most importantly, a Kona spot for the Ironman World Championships. For any athlete who is looking to go to the next level, improve their times, qualify for Kona or just be the best that they can be, I would highly recommend the online coaching services of Jarrod Evans.

Multiple 70.3 Age Group Winner | Multiple Sprint Series Age Winner | Victorian Age Group Triathlon Champion

I feel very privileged to have been given the opportunity to be coached by Jarrod. Jarrod took me on in February and said he need about 4months to get me ready to be competitive at 70.3 distance, so we targeted Cairns 70.3 in June. I’m writing this the morning after winning my age group at Cairns 70.3 in my first ever attempt at this distance. It is still with some disbelief!, Jarrod has taken me from an average athlete to an age group winner and I can’t thank him enough. His coaching approach is amazing, its smart and designed to achieve results, his knowledge is second to none and the support he has given me is just wonderful. I have never been happier or stronger and thank-you really cant express my gratitude, I have learnt the true value of a good coach, thanks Jarrod!

Professional Triathlete | ITU Continental Cup Winner

I was once told that the truest sign of a good coach, lies in their ability to take an average athlete and lead them to achieve lofty goals they never thought possible. If this is the case, then Jarrod Evans is the epitome of a successful coach. In my first 12 months in Jarrod’s squad, I have went from a “hobby” triathlete, to winning the Elite category at various Victorian triathlons. His transformation of athletes goes far beyond what I have experienced in the last year and it is a key reason why I have the utmost faith in Jarrod’s program. Whilst it is a cliche to say that results speak for themselves, it is true. The list of results that Jarrod has amassed as a coach, really is very impressive, and it’s a list you just can’t ignore.

Chad Anderson

Australian Olympic Distance Champion 25-29 | Australian Sprint Distance Champion 25-29 | Northern Territory Open Champion

I first contacted Jarrod seeking coaching in the pursuit of some optimistic goals – A podium place at National Championships and to turn professional. From the first email it was made clear the path to success, what was expected of me, what I would receive and what was possible if I applied myself. As a correspondence athlete living in the Northern Territory where limited access to high level competition and the extreme weather add to the challenges of distance. Through this, communication was key and daily email updates were expected and responded to – despite being on thousands of kilometres apart I have access to all the information and feedback I need. Within 2 months of commencing on Jarrod’s system I won the Australian Olympic Distance Age Group Championship, and, 12 months further on I was awarded my Open Professional licence. Jarrod Evans and the team have done everything I asked and more, he has spurred me on and directed me carefully and methodically to successes I wanted but had no idea how to reach. The enduranceteam.net service goes beyond expert knowledge of how to swim, ride and run – being an athlete is a lifestyle and Jarrod manages the everyday ups and downs of an athlete’s life with empathy and sets minds at ease. There are no surprises, no problem to big or small and somehow, someway, just when I think I cannot take anymore, just as he says it will, everything falls into place. From the training programs, weekly newsletter and constant flow of information and reading materials to race days, training camps and everything in between we share a love of this sport which shines through in everything Jarrod and the team do. It is a pleasure to be a part of this team and I look forward with great optimism to what we can achieve in the future.

Multiple Ironman Age Group Medallist | Multiple Age Group Champion | Hawaiian Ironman Athlete

I could not recommend Jarrod Evans more highly as both a coach and a person. Having been with Jarrod for nearly 3 years I have always found him to be highly professional and honest with their approach. My program is tailored to my specific needs, abilities and family commitments and has helped me achieve what I only dreamed of. Jarrod’s passion and dedication towards his coaching and athletes are second to none. As a correspondence athlete I have always had regular and prompt contact with Jarrod through email and phone and have had the opportunity to attend a number of camps where I have been able to train with like-minded athletes under his direction. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Jarrod and seeing what we can achieve in the future.

Adam Cashmore

Australian Champion 30-34 | World Championship Silver Medallist | Australian Triathlon Series Champion 30-34

Another two athletes from my area highly recommended Jarrod to me. I would and I do highly recommend Jarrod as a coach to anyone. I love following his programs to every metre he puts down, so at the end of the day I feel very satisfied knowing that with his coaching knowledge and my personal commitment, you will and you do get to where you want. For example when I first started with Jarrod he assessed me and asked me what my goals were. I said that I want to be making the age group podium in the prestigious Gatorade Series. I not only achieved my goal but I also got silver medal at the world championships in my age group as well. We have now met my goals one year later and I am now reassessing my new goals with Jarrod. I look forward to the next stage.
