Tri for Impact with Rocky Harris, USA Triathlon CEO

In this episode of Tri Beginner’s Luck we chat with the CEO of USA Triathlon, Rocky Harris. We learn about Rocky’s journey in sports from his passion for sport as an athlete and business person to his focus on ensuring sport has a positive impact on society.

We learn how a tragic infection forces him to make a decision about his health and his future in sport. He chose to challenge himself and that was the start of Rocky’s love affair with Triathlon, over a decade ago. He experienced yet yet another health scare that studies have shown affect many triathletes today. It’s important to know your body to a fault and FIGHT for your HEALTH. His story can help us all!

It doesn’t stop there. We dig deeper to find out more about who Rocky is beyond being the CEO of USAT. We dive into what USAT is and it’s importance for the triathlon community. We discuss how members contribute and support the organization and the role that USAT and its members play in the Olympics.

We have some juicy juice on an important update from USAT and what’s happening to the USAT one day fee. Then we just let loose with some rapid fire questions, you sure don’t want to miss. It is mmmm. mmmmm GOODT, yes with T on the end!

Finally, We practice what we preach at Tri Beginner’s luck. We are Tri-ing!!!! Literally and Figuratively! You may hear some outdated information… but the content is still dope.
