ONLINE MEMBERSHIP
HPT is a small coaching program, but one we are very passionate about. Professionalism is our core value. We only do something to become more professional, not make more money. Our group of face to face athletes is small, about 30 in all because we value realistic coach to athlete numbers. Everyone trains hard and enjoys the support that being a part of the team brings. We also have a few athletes that live remote, but within a reasonable enough distance to train with us on weekends.
Our online membership site is a reflection of our culture at HPT. It has the same values and work ethics that the squad has. We work hard on our skills, consistency and personal growth. We strive not just to be told what to do, but to learn how to do it. We aim to be independant athletes that can make decisions based on our knowledge of the sport and challenge the coaches to unlock our potential.
Coaching at HPT isn't about just exercise prescription. In fact, our "programs" are quite light on for detail. We prefer to help the athlete understand what they are trying to achieve and to train with that focus in mind. Membership to the HPT website will allow you access to that process. It allows you to see how we work and become a part of that.
How does Online Membership work?
The core philosphy around online membership is:
1. Access to the squad's weekly training sessions and test sets. This includes options for both Long Course and Short Course athletes.
2. An extensive library of articles, sessions, training blocks & video's to assist you in your self-coaching
This library will continually expand and evolve based on knowledge gained at the coal face.

Peter Clifford
I am a Level 2 Triathlon Coach and have been in the sport since 1989. I have competed across all distances and single disciplines. My coaching officially started in 2003 where I became a Junior coach at Cronulla Tri Club. From there I became involved in NSW Development Coaching positions and am currently the Triathlon NSW Coach Development Manager, leading all coach education and development. I coach a range of athletes face to face, from age-groupers to professionals.
My coaching philosophy is based around hard work, consistency and enjoyment of the sport. Nothing replaces consistent work, week-in and week-out to get the results. I have been heavily influenced by a number of coaches, not all in the sport of triathlon....in fact - mainly out of it.
This online project is something that brings together a number of passions of mine and therefore it can only be a success. It is heavily weighted towards teaching the whys - not just the whats.
