George Hilgeholt - TriNZ Coach of the Year

Congratulations to club coach, George Hilgeholt, who has won the Tri NZ "Coach of the Year" title.

Here is how Triathlon New Zealand has summed up George's great work. And you will find out more about George's training programmes with the club in our Training section of the website

Coaches help the sport grow and enable participants to move from one level to the next along the pathway towards elite level competition – or they simply keep the grass roots based participant fit and healthy, able to enjoy the sport to its maximum.

George runs a large and successful age-group squad with many training sessions and works in with the Auckland City Triathlon Club.
George has also contributed as a volunteer member of the Coaching Advisory Group, helping shape the growth of tri NZ’s coaching programme.
His commitment to coaching for many years and his passion for the sport at grassroots/AG level are yet another part of the network that is making the sport thrive.
