The Valencian triathlon federation and the deputation of Castellón present a guide for parents of athletes

Triathlon has become one of the sports that is experiencing the most growth in recent years. For this reason, the Triathlon Federation of the Valencian Community has prepared a guide for parents that explains the benefits of this sport.

The guide, under the title “High Performance Tri-Parents”, gives parents the keys to help their children practice this sport that combines running, swimming and cycling.

The rules of behavior, treatment with technicians and judges are some of the guidelines given in the document, which will be presented tomorrow at the Castellón Provincial Council.

Likewise, parents are advised on what their actions should be to help children practice sports according to their ages. First, in the minor categories, fun and getting closer to the sport should prevail, and second, in the cadet and junior categories, the results are taking on more prominence.

Some of the key points in the guide are education in victory and defeat, triathlon is an individual sport and, ultimately, practicing any sport is beneficial for the growth of the child.

Arturo Navarro, manager of the Triathlon Federation of the Valencian Community, Mateo Castellá, general director of sports of the Generalitat Valenciana, and Luis Martínez, sports deputy of Castellón, presented the guide yesterday.
