Triathlon Coaching Reviews

Working with Jarrod as my triathlon coach has been a great experience. I have improved so much in every aspect! His knowledge to the sport of triathlon has helped me tremendously. We communicate every day via TP, reviews my workouts and gives me feedback. He’s always available for me and modifies my workouts as needed! Very professional in every way! Love working with him!

I am new to triathlon and after committing to my first race, I researched a variety of coaches. I discovered volumes of competent and probably great coaches. But they all seemed more eager to work with me than I was with them. I was simply seeking more. I wanted to find a coach that required a partnership, that was as selective about the athletes they worked with as I was in selecting my coach. That meant someone who was highly detail-oriented, professional, credentialed, and elite. Right from the start, Jarrod made it clear that working with him was a commitment and was not for everyone. Which was exactly what I was looking for. We've been working together for a few months. I have friends working alongside other non-elite programs. And there's a distinct difference. There is detail, reasoning, patterns, and results in Jarrod's work that only comes about through complete devotion to one's profession. But equally important, and often overlooked, in coach selection is character. And aside from the technical aspects, Jarrod's just a good person. He operates with honesty, integrity, and care. His moral compass points true north. If you are dedicated, coachable, and settle for nothing but the best, this is your place. There's Jarrod and there is everyone else

I started working with Jarrod 4months ago and he’s been a wonderful coach! Coming from a running background and new to this sport, he’s helped me tremendously in all three disciplines. He communicates and gives me feedback daily and helps me optimize my training. He tells you when you have to dig a little deeper, but also tells you when you have to take a step back in order to make a jump forward.

I commenced training with Jarrod Evans by correspondence to assist with preparation to complete my first Ironman in Busselton. With Jarrod’s training, guidance and professional support I have now successfully completed three Ironman events. Through his approach I have learned to train smarter, an enormous amount about nutrition and the importance of listening to your body. Jarrod’s regular presence at events provided great support and feedback. At my first Busselton, I was forced to withdraw after the swim. I had a pretty bad mind set (I’d never had to withdraw from an event previously), Jarrod’s approach enabled me to get benefit from the event, as although I was unable to complete the ride, he encouraged me to use the run a training session, something I would not have been in the frame of mind to consider myself, and I came away feeling positive after a negative start to the day. I have no doubt that the opportunity to train with other athletes, professional athletes not only assisted my training but boosted my confidence enormously. I sincerely thank Jarrod and all the athletes that I have had the opportunity to train with over the past two years.

I reached out to Jarrod after qualifying for the draft legal triathlon world championships in Bermuda. I was looking for a coach that could train me to get to the elite level. I discovered Jarod was regarded as the words best elite development coach. After reviewing Jarrod’s information, I was 100 % confident Jarrod was the coach that could help me get to where I want to be in the sport of triathlon.

I am absolutely honored and blessed to have Jarrod as my coach. I started working with Jarrod around June unfortunately I suffered a work-related injury and was out for about 3 months. Jarrod worked with me every day throughout my injury and reassured me the injury would be a thing of the past, giving me confidence through a hard time. Since then, I have started the program and am very satisfied with Jarrod’s coaching. Jarrod is extremely knowledgeable and takes a science-based approach with progressive training.

In the short time I have been active in the program I am already seeing improvements in my cycling, I am feeling strong in the water, and my running milage has increased doing more than I have ever done before and this time injury free. Jarrod is great about working my training around my life, school, and job. His communication is excellent and keeps in contact with me every day making remote training easy.

I’m excited to continue to work with Jarrod and see what he can do with me. I have no doubts that he will bring out my full potential and surpass my expectations.

Jarrod from Triathlon Gold is simply amazing. I've been working with him for just under 4 months now, since qualifying for the IM70.3 World Championship, and the results have been phenomenal. Together, we're working to eventually get to Kona and to qualify for Boston along the way.

He showed me how I've been training completely incorrectly for way too long - I wish I had found him years earlier.

What makes Jarrod stand out the most in contrast to other coaches I worked with in the past is:
- Incredible wealth of experience. He has been working with pro athletes for over 2 decades and I love that he can bring those lessons over into my training as well
- He's incredibly responsive. We're typically in touch at least once a day
- He doesn't sugar coat things. When I suck, he tells me and doesn't beat around the bush. That's the type of coach I was looking for - someone who can push you to your limits, and who doesn't give you a participation medal for delivering below what you're capable of.

I’d 100% recommend him to anybody who is serious about training and who has the commitment and discipline to make Triathlon a priority.

The last year has been very rough, and the lack of opportunities to race have made it worse. By the end of the 2020 season, I was burnt out and just exhausted. Then, my triathlon team disbanded. At the beginning of 2021 I really didn't know what this year had in store. Then, I got the wonderful opportunity to work with Coach Evans. He has helped me reach my goals in not only draft-legal racing, but in the individual disciplines and as an Xterra athlete. I have seen continual improvement in my athletic endeavors. This past season has been a great one and I look forward to continue working with Coach Evans in the future!

We started working with Coach Evans in January after my daughter’s high performance team dissolved. We were looking for a coach that would be able to tie together many of the high school sports she was already doing (track, swim team, NICA mtb racing) into a training plan that would help her reach her goal of qualifying for the USAT draft legal nationals in July. She had an additional goal to complete an XTERRA race this year. Coach Evans has been very responsive and thoughtful when creating training plans and in his feedback on her workouts. Under Coach Evans guidance Gabby has improved with each race, gained confidence, and she met her goal to qualify for Nationals. As parents we appreciate Coach Evan’s training insights and consistent support.

I am an age group athlete who was looking for a coach to take my performance from being a participant to a competitor. I am so fortunate that I found Jarrod towards the end of 2021 and that he was willing to take me on. I found many coaches who promised to hold me accountable and would encourage me to do my best but Jarrod also brings sports science into the equation. We began by outlining my aspirations and goals and then determined what performance metrics would be required to reach these goals. The training process started by identifying the gaps to close and implementing a personalized plan. I routinely get feedback from Jarrod a few hours after finishing a session and the training scheduled modified as needed. I am being challenged like never before by Jarrod in order to find performance and not just to complete a training block. I am so excited for the 2022 season to let it rip knowing that Jarrod has put me in the best possible position to succeed.

Jarrod is one of his kind; since I contacted him, he has been nothing but professional, answering all my questions and, most of all, helping me to reach my best potential. I'm so glad I met him, and I'm very excited about the work he has already done. If you are a pro athlete or a regular human being like me, but you want to improve your swimming skills, contact Jarrod!
