Hi, so tips for those who are interested in trying to make a collegiate triathlon team. You know, there are a lot of teams out there of all different levels now, so there are some baseline standards of what's required for different divisions or schools and what each school is looking for. But beyond that, you know, I am looking for athletes with, basically good people, good people with good character, good skills to communicate, good communication skills, like being a part of a team, are team-minded and like working with multiple people on a team and multiple staff and kind of that good social networking. I also am looking for kind of like their training capacity, how much they do train, how well they, if they enjoy training. You need to really love it. This sport is hard, so I want to really see that the athlete just absolutely loves everything about triathlon, everything about the day-to-day and that is super important for me and I can often tell that by how often they're racing, looking at their training and just some questions I ask according to their daily schedule.
