Daniel Brueckner – Level 1 Coach
Daniel competed in his first short course triathlon in 2008 and joined Tri-Alliance in 2010 looking for coaching towards the ultimate goal of completing a full distance ironman triathlon having worked his way up to the half ironman distance prior to joining Tri-Alliance.
Daniel’s background is high-level swimming which he competed in for many years followed by playing water-polo for a decade. In 2006 Daniel decided to fulfil one of his long-standing goals to run a marathon which was followed by further half and full marathon distance races and eventually led to triathlon.
After completing 2 full-distance Ironman races in 2011 and 2012 Daniel completed the level 1 triathlon coaching course and has now joined the Tri-Alliance coaching team currently focusing on swimming.
