Joey Decker — Level 2 Playtri Coach
About JOEY
I came to the sport of triathlon later in life, proving that it’s never too late to challenge yourself and discover what you’re capable of. Like many of the athletes I coach today, I didn’t grow up as a lifelong endurance athlete. I simply started looking for a new challenge, and what I found was a passion for swimming, biking, and running that completely changed my life.
Now, as a triathlon coach, my goal is simple: to help athletes achieve their goals while enjoying the journey. Whether someone wants to finish their first sprint triathlon, complete a half Ironman, or simply become healthier and more confident, I believe success comes from consistent training, patience, and learning to enjoy the process.
I understand what it’s like to balance training with work, family, and everyday responsibilities, especially when starting in middle age. Because of that, my coaching focuses on realistic training plans, steady progress, and building confidence — not just chasing numbers.
You don’t have to be the fastest athlete to succeed in triathlon. What matters most is showing up, putting in the work, and believing you’re capable of more than you once thought possible.
My mission is to help every athlete I coach reach their starting line prepared and cross their finish line with pride and a smile.
