If any athlete were ever born to become a coach, it’s Jolene Wilkinson. An elite gymnast at age 11, a National Champion triathlete by age 19, and a scholarship runner, Jolene has been exposed to coaching for over 28 years. She completed the picture by earning her BS degree in psychology and physical education, soon followed by an MS degree in sport science with an emphasis in coaching from the United States Sports Academy.

Jolene began triathlon coaching with the Triathlon Junior Olympics in 1996 when she was an intern coach.  She is now a USA Triathlon Level 1 coach who has experience coaching both adults and kids at the age group, high school, and collegiate levels. Jolene herself has competed in triathlon for 19 years and has been a professional triathlete since 2001, following age group World Championship wins (20-24) in both Olympic and long-distance. She is currently in the World Class Athlete Program for the US Air Force. In addition, she has raced as a Category 3 USCF rider for Team Kenda Tire and is venturing into other athletic endeavors including adventure racing. 

Jolene’s triathlon experience covers nearly all aspects of the sport. She started as an IronKid, has tried and failed to make a world championship team, has made the world championship team and won age group worlds, and has finished the Ironman in Kona. Over the years of training, racing, and coaching, the learning process has never ceased for Jolene.  She continues to broaden herself with new experiences and education.   

Jolene adjusts her coaching to support each athlete’s level of commitment and quest towards their personal goals.  She believes that training for endurance sports can be a rewarding experience when it is done with a plan that fits the individual. Enjoyment comes from personal improvement, overcoming challenges, and growing and learning as a person.  It is an incredible gift to be fit and healthy.

Jolene balances her coaching and racing with other interests and activities.  She enjoys traveling (a perk of racing!), any outdoor activity, animals, and photography.
