As a social scientist, parent, and sports enthusiast,
William Marsiglio champions the virtues of an emerging sport, a slice of American sports culture—youth triathlon. Kids Who Tri systematically explores the links between youth triathlon, models of youth sports, and childrearing/coaching philosophies, while offering readers an insider’s view of the dynamic youth triathlon community. Drawing on interviews with parents, coaches, race directors, USA Triathlon staff, and young triathletes, as well as more than six years of intensive personal observations as “a tri-dad,” Marsiglio shows how embracing the multisport spirit teaches youth seven key life lessons while empowering them. |

USA TRIATHLON ANNOUNCES 2020 COACHES OF THE YEAR
Awardees honored for contributions to community impact, coaching education, athlete development and volunteer service in unusual triathlon season. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — USA Triathlon today recognized six of its most influential coaches as 2020 Coaches of the Year for their contributions during the unusual 2020 triathlon season. The awards for 2020 focused on athlete development, community impact, volunteer service and coaching education — areas where awardees provided immense value during a season in which most elite and national racing was put on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Volunteer Coach of the Year: Dan Engelhard The Volunteer Coach of the Year award honors a coach who does not receive payment in any form for their involvement in coaching at any level. Dan Engelhard is the head coach of the St. Louis High School Triathlon Club — better known simply as High School TriClub — a non-competitive, participation-based club whose goal is to address the health crisis in America by teaching youth how to take care of their bodies. Engelhard has continued to grow youth participation despite the challenges of the past year. He has organized outdoor training and activities allowing for social distancing and encouraging parent participation. With the help of parents who convinced their neighborhood association to allow a private event under strict COVID-19 safety protocols, Engelhard was able to coordinate, organize and recruit volunteers to host a sprint-distance triathlon for members of the High School TriClub. Engelhard’s enthusiasm has caused the High School TriClub to grow annually. |
