Wenzel Head Coach Todd Hunter talks to a group at a cyclocross clinicCycling and Triathlon Coach Job Opportunities

Are you a cycling or triathlon coach looking to increase your work with motivated cyclists and triathletes? Wenzel Coaching is currently seeking qualified endurance coaches around the US and Canada. Leadership, communication skills, racing experience, coaching experience and commitment, enthusiasm, integrity, responsiveness, and the gift of teaching are desired. Additional coach education and support will be provided. We are also occasionally looking for interns for marketing and computer work.

Wenzel Coach candidates are experienced in their athletic focus with a positive, motivating attitude and are in demand for their advice and attention. They are well-liked and respected in their athletic community. If you have ambitions of coaching with a company that is growing responsibly and you would like to learn from coaches who have been coaching top level athletes for many years, you may be right for joining the Wenzel Coaching group.

We realize that some coaches reside more on the experience end of the spectrum while others are on the education end. We are looking for a balance with strengths in particular event focuses. Coaches interested in coaching non-racers (beginning century riders, for instance) need not have a racing background.
