About
The iCAN Junior Triathlon Club focuses on training and racing in the sport of triathlon. Athletes take part in swimming, cycling, and running, with coaches working with them both collectively and individually. Training programs are developed based on each athlete’s chronological and developmental age, demonstrated skill level, perceived training level, abilities, and goals.
• Ages: 7–18 years old
The club’s vision of “I CAN” was conceived in 2005, leading to the development of what would become the iCAN Junior Triathlon Club. The program is led by Todd Waldner, Director and Lead Coach. Its mission statement is “Teaching Youth Fundamental Life Principles Through the Sport of Triathlon.” iCAN Junior Triathlon Club is a 501c.3., Community Benefit Organization that relies upon charitable donations, corporate sponsorship and grants to support and advance their Mission and Vision.
The club offers a fun, friendly, and exciting community of youth between the ages of 7 and 19. Different levels of training programs are used to develop confident triathletes and promote healthy lifestyles. Triathlon is used as the platform to empower youth through the encouragement of an “I CAN” attitude coupled with confidence, patience and determination. Athletes are grouped by skill level, ability and developmental age, not strictly by age, and it is not unusual to see a swimming lane with youth of different ages if they are equally skilled.
Coaches focus on skills and the fundamentals of training, equipment and nutrition, with emphasis on sport specific training drills for swimming, cycling and running. Triathlons are selected that fit individual triathletes or each training session so each athlete can participate and experience race day. Athletes complete workouts that are attainable and give them a sense of personal accomplishment, and they “feed off of each other and create a very unique kind of synergy during their training time.” The club promotes “iCAN” core life principles of confidence, patience and determination, while developing goal setting skills to foster academic growth, increase leadership and promote adherence to a healthier lifestyle.
