Tri Club Tuesday: There’s a New Club on the Block

Ask anyone who has participated in a triathlon and they will have a story about how they got into it. Maybe they are trying to lose weight, a friend dared them to do it, or even a life changing event happened that led them there.

Nicolette Schoenfeldt, Founder and Head Coach of Attivo Multisport, is no different. In 2004 she participated in her first triathlon because her mom talked her into it, along with her sister. She wasn’t hooked on triathlon then, or the following year when her mom talked her into it again, but, she loved that there was something that brought her and her mom close, so she continued to give in. After the first two years, she did vow to never do one again, and was successful until 2011.
It was the unexpected and tragic death of her mom in 2010 that left her lost and heartbroken, not sure of what direction to take in life. Looking back, she found that those two years that she did the triathlons with her mom were the closest they had gotten. So, she signed up for the Boulder 70.3 in 2011, as well as a few other shorter distance races, and found the peace that she needed, and found that she still felt the connection to her mom while out training.
 
Finally, she was hooked. But, just participating in triathlon wasn’t enough. She knew how life changing triathlon was for her, and how much triathlon related to real life. She wanted to help open up the world to others who could experience the same joy and satisfaction that she has experienced. Being a personal trainer and fitness instructor for many years, with the understanding of the human body and knowing that the personal connection with clients is even more important, made the transition to triathlon coach come easy.

Attivo Multisport was formed after many years of personal and team coaching, experimenting with ideas and trying different methods until the right formula was created. Finding the balance of coaching to succeed in the sport of triathlon and coaching the life’s parallels to triathlon has been the goal for Attivo Multisport. By offering two different teams, one for short distance and one for long distance, Attivo has worked to create an environment that allows everyone involved to succeed.
 
Triathlon may be an individual sport, but that doesn’t mean having to spend hours and hours training alone. Attivo’s hope is for every member to become successful in their triathlon dreams, and to make some friends and training partners along the way, who will motivate, challenge and support them, both on and off of the triathlon course.
 
Attivo Multisport is based in the Lakewood, Colorado area. For more information visit our website at www.attivomultisport.com or Facebook https://www.facebook.com/attivomultisport/ .
