   Episode #155 Ryan Bolton on Communication

   Episode #155 Ryan Bolton on Communication Ryan has been on the sideline of almost every single WTCS triathlon in the last decade. He has coached athletes in the last three Olympics, and been to one himself. I had the great fortune to sit down with Ryan and chat about how to effectively communicate with athletes at the absolute highest level in sport. This was an amazing deep dive into how the best coaches in the world communicate with athletes at the top of sport.
