Coach Siri Lindley

Olympic Triathlon Coach, Television Sports Commentator, Motivational Speaker

Siri Lindley retired from the sport of triathlon in 2002. She retired a two time World Champion and World ranked #1 female. Immediately upon retiring she interviewed with NBC sports for a job at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Not only did they hire Siri for the job of Men’s and Women’s triathlon analyst (alongside Al Trautwig), but they also hired her to call all the men’s and women’s field hockey events throughout the games. Siri focuses the majority of her time coaching Olympic triathletes towards achieving excellence within themselves. She aims to help them become the very best that they can be and provides them with the framework in which to make this happen!

She also works as many television events as she can. Her main goal in the broadcasting arena is to share with the world, her enthusiasm for sport and life.

World Champion Triathlete - #1 world at time of retirement in 2002.
