I am writing this article due to total and utter frustration from within my sport. If you’re a triathlete, you probably feel, as a sport, that we’re in a great position. We are in many respects, however…

I like my Youth / Junior athletes to be aware of what I term the “athletic curve” in our sport (triathlon). The basic premise is that you are either ahead of it, on it, or behind it.

The Athletic Curve

• Behind = perhaps around regional or good school standard

• On = National

• Ahead = International
