Building a successful CFE TEAM

• Pick a race to train towards: specific event anywhere from 10-12 weeks out, you can start out with 10k, 1/2 marathon, triathlon – whichever
• Create program from the get-go for the specific CFE workouts
• Enroll other coaches that are as excited about your vision as you are
• Recruit people that you know and have a relationship with already: current CF members that you train with
• Create a set schedule for training times & meeting places
• Assign individual coaches to mentor athletes which will help support their training, schedule and overall wellbeing
• Be available to members that have questions
• Create general info packet
• Orientation for training season
• Be open to new ideas:  don’t be too fixed on a certain way of doing things
• Track workouts free for first season:  get people engaged and a sip of the Kool-Aid
• Consistency:  create a team atmosphere where everyone feels supported and everyone is encouraging of one another
• Be willing to turn away clients that are going to spread negative energy
• Create a fun & welcoming atmosphere
• Build a kick ass website
• Be willing to trade services
• Seek out people that are smarter than you that will compliment your team
• Seek out sponsorships within the community
• Keep it simple
