Coach
Brett
Saunders
With a legacy of athletic excellence in his veins, Coach Brett brings unmatched experience and passion to the triathlon community.
Raised in a family deeply rooted in endurance sports, Brett inherited not only talent and dedication but also a profound understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest level. His father competed as an Olympic cyclist for Canada in 1992, while his mother set nine world records in open‑water swimming before completing 24 Ironmans as a professional triathlete.
This remarkable family background shaped Brett’s own journey. Growing up in Delaware, he explored cycling, triathlons, and tennis before choosing to swim collegiately at the University of Tampa. There, he excelled as an NCAA All‑American swimmer, earning honors such as Conference Scholar‑Athlete of the Year and Swimmer of the Year. His success in the pool seamlessly carried over to triathlon, where he made a powerful debut at Ironman Florida, recording the fastest overall swim time by several minutes. That performance led to his recruitment by the Canadian National Team, specializing in draft‑legal triathlons.
Since 2021, Brett has dedicated himself to training, racing, and coaching athletes both online and in person. His work alongside world‑class coaches and competitors has refined his approach, blending physical preparation with mental resilience. Brett’s mission is to guide athletes of all abilities, from a first‑time triathlete to Olympic gold medalist, using personalized coaching strategies to unlock their full potential.
Under Coach Brett’s guidance, athletes can expect a training experience built on passion, expertise, and a genuine commitment to their success. His unique background and athlete‑first philosophy ensure that every goal becomes a shared mission, and every athlete has the opportunity to show up on race day as the strongest version of themselves.
