Meet the Coaches
Mansfield Athletics currently has 5 coaches and we are always on the lookout for more. Anyone can coach once you have completed the introductory course run by Athletics Victoria. Having a coach means the club training sessions are structured and have a leader, so the sessions have purpose and everyone is looked after.
Our coaches will share leading sessions and 2 of our coaches are available for individual coaching programs. This means the coach will write your program and communicate regularly with you so you always make the best decision to fast track your progress.
