Tyler Hamilton coaching pro triathletes

[Ripper]

Ripper does not think that Slowtwitch is a good forum.

Ripper has looked at a number of threads on Slowtwitch and find many posts to be bordering ignorant.

Ripper appreciates that triathletes work hard to make cyclists look good by being (much) worse bike handlers and running while wearing knee high compression socks.

Ripper also likes seeing people commute on their tri bike while wearing their TT helmet (which impales their backpack) ... it makes Ripper laugh.

Ripper thinks it is time for a snack and then a sh*t.

I see you have deleted this tweet, so you contradict yourself as you identify yourself as a paying client by the very nature of your now conveniently deleted tweet.

"Hi Tyler, could you please delete some tweets for me. Huge. Quickly."

Matty Reed used the wrong word in a twitter.

Tyler Hamilton is not coaching Matty and Team Reed did not hire him.

Tyler is a boulder friend and offered some good workouts, wattage advice and rides in town along with some motor pacing to Matty. They are friends and Matty twittered what he did cause Tyler had done a workout with him and Matty used the word "coached by" meaning Tyler had "coached" a great workout that they did that day. Tyler copied Matty twitter then and used that same word. Tyler offered some advice to Matty as a friend.

Matty facebooked (and Kelly copied) he was working with Tyler and he meant he was working with Tyler for some workout ideas. We did not hire him. After Matty's twitter, these posts were really taken for the wrong meaning. Matt realizes he used the wrong words for the twitter.

Matt and Kelly felt that Tyler might have some good ideas, and him having ridden the roads of boulder, it was worth sitting down with him and hearing his thoughts as he has ridden with Matty in boulder many times.

Hope this clears up any confusion. There is no professional association or relationship or hiring. This was simply a good friend with some great knowledge and Matty and his coach wished to hear Tyler's thoughts. He had some interesting ideas so Matty did a workout with him.

Matty's coach is Kelly Reed. Kelly simply wanted to sponge ideas off of cycling minds and this was one of the MANY minds we talked to.

Team Reed has hired NO ONE TO COACH Matty's cycling and are not professionally associated with any one coach or group. we are gathering a bunch of workouts from a variety of sources to help Matty race triathlon.

We hope this clears up any confusion as to Matty and Tyler and that their relationship is no more than two friends who used to ride bikes together and one wanting to offer some workout advice.

Team Reed is against doping in all forms. Matty is a true competitor and cheating in any form is not an option. Matty has, throughout my career, been a promoter of clean and honest racing. Team Reed remains strong in our belief system of clean sport. It is simply the only way to race as far as we are concerned.

Sincerely, Team REED

Maybe spend more time training and less time TWITting / faceplanting.

Q. What do you call an expert in your sport who provides you with advice, designs a workout for you, and assists you in performing that workout?

A. No idea, coach!

Elite athletes are some of the worst coaches. Often, the journeymen are the best coaches.

You ever see "Golf My Way," by Jack Nicklaus. His instruction verbatim, as he's swinging the driver, is "take it back like this, and hit it like this," as he launches it like 280 with one of those old POS drivers.

Like Michael Jordan, terrible with the young talent. He nearly ruined Rip Hamilton because he didn't like him.

Asking Pantani to help you climb would be just about as helpful as asking Secretariat how to run faster.

It's hard to support a statement like that. While many have failed, there are numerous other successes. Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn is now the coach at San Diego State University and by all assessments is doing a good job. You also see former good pros like Bjarne Riis running a bike team, which may not be the exact same as coaching, but it still counts.

I personally feel that the bigger thing is how well the athlete is able to relate to his/her charges rather than if they were a big star.
