Triathlon: Ironman Wisconsin Champ, Dave Harju Launches Dave Harju Multisport Coaching

Ottawa Canada – Today Dave Harju, accomplished triathlete and two-time Ironman® Champion, announced the launch of Dave Harju Multisport Coaching™.

Dave Harju Multisport Coaching is a science-based, personalized coaching program that specializes in providing fully supported coaching to the beginner, developing and competitive triathlete. Dave’s philosophy is entrenched in the belief that there is an athlete in all of us, we just need the necessary program, instructions, tools and skills to thrive.

“Too often a program is designed in absence of the fundamental instructions, these all important tools and skills, required for flawless execution. I have designed my coaching service specifically to provide these instructions—in detail”, says Harju. He continues, “I really enjoy working with the new athlete, sharing all that I have learned throughout my career and watching them excel. That’s what being a coach is about.”

The Dave Harju Multisport Coaching service is different in two specific ways: First the athlete chooses their level of athletic performance (Newbie, Developing, Fitness and Competitive). The athlete then determines the degree to which they want hands-on interaction with their coach (“just the program”, silver, gold and platinum packages are available choices). This allows experienced athletes to gain success from a structured program, while saving money for funky new gear, and enables athletes who want and typically need more guidance from their coach to get it. Interested athletes should visit www.daveharjucoaching.com for full details.

Dave’s 15 year history of triathlon so far includes two Ironman Championships, two Canadian Long Distance Championships and multiple long-course wins in triathlon and duathlon. His consistent sub-nine hour Ironman performances make him a top contender in every Ironman race he enters. As a certified educator, multisport coach, professional triathlete and Baccalaureate of Kinesiology, Dave is the ideal coach for every level of athlete.

Dave believes that in every individual lay an athlete ready to achieve success. It is his job to help his customers see that potential as well. With personalized, structured training programs, complete with built-in mechanisms for measuring success, achieving results is within reach for all his clients, from the newbie athlete to the competitive or elite racer. The key element to Dave’s success as a coach is his ability to put people at ease, to transfer his knowledge of triathlon and to make training focused, yet fun and flexible enough to suit the demands of every day life.
