Thank you for visiting Santiago Multisport!
Jimmy Santiago Moreno
Since discovering triathlon in 1985, I have witnessed multisport events make a remarkable progression. Triathlon coaches were unheard of then, and, very few publications had worthwhile information on training plans, methodology or injury prevention. Runners, cyclist and swimmers had specific regimens, but only through trial and error could one brick all three together. Having been mentored by renowned coaches and working as a personal trainer, I realized athletes were falling way short of their true potential - including myself... Thus, bridging the gap between personal training and coaching became my primary focus. First and foremost, my approach was geared toward keeping my clients healthy - physically, nutritionally and mentally. To this day, it is still how I coach. Through proper screening and talent identification, I assess strengths and weaknesses to construct a customized plan that works - while NEVER compromising wellness and lifestyle!
In 1996, USA Triathlon devised a curriculum to develop skill sets for coaches. The main goal being to help prepare coaches best serve a population needing adequate guidance in sport performance. USAT was also at full throttle to get our top Pro's to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. It was obvious to me our sport was about to take a quantum leap. In the following years, USAT membership grew exponentially and its sanctioned races attracted record numbers. Coaching was becoming an essential element to any training plan.
In 1998, I became one of the first USA Triathlon Certified coaches. With application of my Level I Certification, training experience and knowledge acquired from multiple race wins AND losses, I narrowed that gap. That being said, of all the certifications, degrees, and clinics under my belt, I strongly believe that experience gave me the ultimate qualification to be a coach!
I have coached and personally trained hundreds of clients all over the United States, Mexico and Europe. From 5K to Sprint Triathlon to Ironman or Ultra Distance, my coaching ideology is unmatched. I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best coaching in the industry.
