Experience, Approach Set English Up For Success As Sun Devils Women's Triathlon Coach

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Cliff English has identified his greatest challenge as the coach of the Sun Devils fledgling women's triathlon team: He has forgotten how to sell himself.

English coached at the Canadian national training center in Victoria from 2002-05, and from 2005 to 2008, he coached the USA National Team.

He has coached a star-studded cast of triathletes including four-time U.S. Olympian Hunter Kemper, Leanda Cave, Sarah Haskins, Heather Jackson and T.J. Tollakson. He coached World Championship medalists Samantha McGlone and Tim O'Donnell, and he has coached athletes in four-straight Olympiads including Australian Ashleigh Gentle, who is currently working with English in Tempe before she heads off to Rio in August.
