OAT's Provincial Triathlon Centre (PTC) is located at the University of Guelph, in Guelph, Ontario. Program changes are currently underway (Spring 2010). The full time triathlon squad program is now RTC-Guelph.
"All coaches teach. Great coaches teach the details. All coaches communicate. Great coaches communicate honestly. All coaches prepare. Great coaches prepare meticulously. All coaches develop expectations. Great coaches develop high expectations and do everything in their power to help athletes achieve them." A. Becker (2009). It's not what they do, it's how they do it: Athlete experiences of Great Coaching. Int. J. Sport. Sci & Coaching, 4(1), 93-119.
