Hallie’s spent over 25 years as a coach, swimmer and triathlete at some of the highest levels of the sport.

Coming from a lifetime of sport, I know the impact a coach can have on self belief to achieve great things.

Alycia Hill

Triathlon Coach

Alycia started her triathlon career pretty humbly: just another kid watching and cheering on her Dad as he’d compete. But, after a while, that wasn’t enough—so she decided to join him. And she’s never looked back. Fast forward to today and Alycia’s incredible passion and skill in the sport means she’s been lucky enough to travel around the world representing the USA in triathlon. She even competed with her dad in the AG World Championships from 2008-2015. Her racing efforts right now are focused on competing professionally in the 70.3 distance. Not bad for what started out as a hobby shared between daughter and dad. But lest you think Alycia’s a one-trick pony, she’s also currently in graduate school at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City; pursuing a Doctorate Nurse Practitioner Degree (and a little high-altitude training—no tent in the living room required). With this incredibly busy schedule, you’re right to think Alycia understands the challenges of combining training and racing with family, work, and the everyday stressors of a real life. It’s part of what makes her a great coach. She’s worked with swimmers, runners, and triathletes over the past 5 years—watching and enjoying their progression and improvement lead to the realization of big goals: “I love being able to share my knowledge and experience to help athletes make the leap from simply doing, to actually becoming.”

Never give up, always find the silver lining, and always have fun!
