Over my career I worked directly with Brett Sutton and using Trisutto.com coaching methodology to help age-group triathletes and develop junior athletes through youth social projects. I was elected Sports Personality of Sao Paulo CREF. During the 8 years I had the privilege to organize camps in Brazil with Brett, we had many importants triathletes comes to our camps and show a great example to our Brazilian youth and triathlon scene. Some who came were Nicola Spirig, Emma Snowsill, Lisbeth Kristensen, Craig Walton, Andrew Johns, Bella and Stephen Bayliss, Annie Emmerson, Matt Reed, Liz Blatchford, Rebeca Preston, Hilary Biscay, Cedric Deanaz, Benjamin Sanson, Jane Fardell, Silvan Dodet and others! As the sport of triathlon and Ironman builds again in Brazil, I will build a strong age-group, junior and professional squad to showcase how strong we can be once again!
