Coach Training Chats- Applying the big picture to training camps! with Cam and Jesse

Coach Training Chats-  Applying the big picture to training camps! with Cam and Jesse

In this episode, Cam and Jesse dig into the philosophy behind long-term athletic development — how they balance getting an athlete ready for a race three weeks away with building toward the athlete they'll be five years from now. They talk through why rushing a young or developing athlete's progression costs them down the line, why consistency (not intensity) is the single biggest predictor of results, and why sleep might be the most underrated performance-enhancing tool available to any triathlete.

The conversation turns to what actually makes a training camp work: structuring key sessions around real recovery, keeping easy days genuinely easy, and avoiding the trap of turning every session into a hard one. Cam and Jesse also get into the balance side of the sport — how adding more training means something else in life has to give, and why that trade-off deserves as much planning as the workouts themselves.

Whether you're building your own training camp, coaching others, or just trying to get more consistent in your own training, this one's full of practical, experience-backed takeaways.
