Meet Your Tri Club Coaches
Coach Colleen Prudhomme
Coach Colleen began the Rockford area Tri Club in 2020 as part of the Forte Triathlon Kids Triathlon Club. Since then, this club has branched out on its own to become the Total Strength Kids Tri Club. Colleen was introduced to triathlon in 2014, and fell in love with this great sport. She found it to be so fun to get to work on three sport disciplines at one time. This makes the sport so interesting and fun, and results in little to no injuries compared to athletes who focus on one discipline only. Collen has completed numerous sprint and Olympic distance triathlons as well as a half Ironman distance and an Ironman triathlon (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run) in 2019. She has enjoyed triathlon so much that she wants to encourage young athletes to give this great sport a tri! (see what I did there? 😉). Colleen also is a certified personal trainer, certified running coach, certified speed and agility coach, and a certified weightlifting sports performance coach. She loves fitness, just about any kind of sport, and spending time in the great outdoors.
Coach Josh Sell
Total Strength Kids Tri Club is so excited to welcome Josh Sells to the coaching crew! Josh lives in Waconia with his wife, 9th grade daughter, and 6th grade son. He has taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade in Waconia for twenty-two years. He also has been an assistant high school baseball coach in Waconia for twenty-one years, including their 26-0 state championship season in 2017. Eleven years ago, Josh caught the triathlon bug and has enjoyed pushing himself to get better and better. He even managed to win the 2022 Graniteman Series Sprint title! Without question, Josh is passionate about triathlon, is a great athlete, and a great addition to the Total Strength Kids Tri Club coaching team. Welcome, Josh!
Fun from Forte Tri Club from past years!
