Tony Moran - High Performing Level 3 Coach

Hi, I am Tony Moran - Head Coach of TriBB. I have recently completed British Triathlon's High Performing Coaches Programme (Level 3 Coach). I helped to establish TriBB as a club and have been coaching at the club from day 1. I am responsible for the quality of the coaching in the club and formulating the coaching plan for the year to help all our members realise their potential during the race season. I work with the other coaches in the club and am the link in to the committee from the coaching team.  I mostly coach the adult sessions but also help out with the juniors from time to time. My values as a coach are to learn and share, to make triathlon accessible and enjoyable and to make the athlete experience the best it can be.  My aim is to create an environment in the club that supports members whilst challenging them to improve.

Outside coaching I continue to participate in triathlon and still enjoy competing at races from sprint to full distance formats.

Claire Higgins - Level 2 Coach

Hi, I am Claire and started my coaching journey in November 2017  when I completed my Level 1.  I began coaching at TriBB assisting with the adult swim sessions and in early 2019, I also started to coach the junior squad in swim, bike and run.  More recently I completed the Level 2 Coaching Programme.  My focus is on novice athletes to show them that anything is possible whatever your background or ability.  For me it's about having fun and enjoying what you do. 

I came into triathlon late in life, at the age of 40.  I couldn't swim, had not been on a bike since I was a kid and definately did not have the stamina to run.  However, fast forward 5 years and I have completed numerous sprint triathlons, olympic distance duathlons and triathlons and last year my first half distance triathlon.

Simon Price-Jones - Level 1 Coach/Club Chairman

Gareth Shepherd - Level 1 Coach

Hi-  I am Gareth and began my Triathlon coaching journey in 2020 with TriBB after joining the club in 2017 just get back Swim training properly; returning to my roots as an Age Group Swimmer in my teens. 

After being encouraged by Head Coach Tony Moran and fellow swimmers to try my hand I completed my first GoTri in 2018 and then, in short, I caught the bug and the Tri Bramley Baths club and the friendships made through it has done me wonders.

Having trained to, competed in and been Coached to a high level in other Sports I thought it was time to give something back and help others improve where I could in both the Open Age and Junior camps.

I'm passionate about improving people's swimming technique, and getting over their "fear" of the swim part of a triathlon. 

Having also spent a huge amount of time in a weights room during my Rugby career as well, I'm also a big advocate of S&C specific to a sport and the benefits it can yield to ladies and gents, both young and old to improve performance and help folks avoid injuries. So I will be adding S&C coaching/ teaching qualifications in due course to complement what my fellow Coaches offer by way of their wide and varied experience.
