Natalie George - Level 1 BTF Coach

In 2010 I completed my first triathlon a super sprint that I did for charity and my triathlon journey developed  from there. I’m not a natural triathlete and have to work hard at all three disciplines but over time my confidence and belief in my abilities has grown from sprints, to Olympic distance, half Ironman and then finally to an Ironman. In 2019 I became a Level 1 BTF triathlon coach, it’s been so rewarding to see club members grown in their ability and confidence.   It’s been great to be involved in FTC as a coach and see the club grow and the achievements of its members.
