EP. 22: A Conversation with Rocky Harris, CEO USA Triathlon

The Endurance Experience Podcast

A conversation with Rocky Harris. He is the Chief Executive Officer of USA Triathlon. We discuss USAT’s Safe Return to Multisport initiative and what athletes and race directors can expect and what it may mean for coaches and spectators.
We discuss the events surrounding George Floyd, why USAT came out with their statement condemning racism and USAT’s diversity inclusion efforts. We get Rocky’s perspective on the exchanges about social justice in many of the online multisport communities.
We spend some time talking about the future of USAT’s strategy for preparing the next generation of coaches. We address the question surrounding the one-day licenses athletes pay for races, the reason for it and what the funds are used for.
We talk about the rise of training and racing communities and the value proposition for becoming a USAT certified group. Finally, Rocky provides his words of inspiration for athletes, coaches and race directors that have and will continue to see a summer and fall like none other in recent history.
