The Coach

HERO Triathlon Rochester, Minnesota
Brad Mitchell - Triathlon Coach Minnesota
Founder of HERO Triathlon, Head Coach

My passion lies in triathlon and running, but what ignites my soul even more is coaching dedicated triathletes and runners. For over ten years, I’ve honed my coaching skills, guiding both female and male athletes to surpass their performance aspirations across all distances. My roster has varied—from triathlon newcomers to elite age-group contenders, and those chasing significant milestones like Ironman World Championship, Boston Marathon qualifications and decades-long personal records. I’ve also proudly coached expecting mothers and new moms.

Open communication is at the heart of my coaching philosophy. I excel in sculpting performance enhancements for the everyday athlete—those juggling hectic jobs, family life, and tight schedules. My approach demands improvement and results. Every training session I design is purposeful, uniquely tailored to an athlete’s goals, available training time, and evolving capacities.
