Our Coaches
Head Coach: Suzan Ballmer
- Masters Degree in Education – McGill University
- Level II Canadian Coaches Association
Suzan became one of the first triathlon coaches in Canada in 1989 and has worked
with athletes of all ages ranging from beginners to World Champions. As Head Coach
of the #1 ranked Titans Triathlon Team in Quebec from 1991-1998, Suzan coached many
of Canada’s best amateur triathletes and duathletes from Sprint to Ironman distances.
Her technical expertise in the three sports and the transition phase in triathlons,
profound understanding of level appropriate workouts and philosophy of enjoyment
has been a recipe for success with athletes under her tutelage.
Triathlon has always been Suzan’s main focus, however, her coaching experience was
enhanced by accepting the position of Head Coach of Concordia University Track &
Field and Cross Country Teams during the years 1993-95. In that capacity she was
fortunate to work with some Olympic level as well as University athletes.
In 1996, Suzan won the prestigious Femmes Des Merite (Women of Distinction) Award
for her coaching and race directing work in athletics.
Suzan is an accomplished triathlete. Throughout her career, she was ranked consistently
in the top three in Canada in her age group and qualified for many National Teams
in both Triathlon and Duathlon. Suzan represented Canada at the Hawaii World Triathlon
Championships and short course World Championships in Lausanne as well as many races
in the U.S. Upon moving to the United States in 1998, Suzan raced to an All-American
ranking as a masters triathlete.
