About Andrew McCartney

Over the past twenty years, I have had the privilege of being deeply involved in the world of sports.

For fifteen years, I competed at the highest levels in triathlon, representing Canada at multiple ITU World Series events, 8 ITU World Championships, and numerous international competitions. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the world’s top coaches, both in Canada and abroad, and I am deeply grateful for the knowledge and insights I gained from them.

Since retiring from competitive racing, I have shared my experience and expertise with countless athletes, both on the pool deck and remotely.

In addition to my competitive background, I am NCCP certified in both Triathlon and Cycling, and I am a certified Personal Trainer through the American Council on Exercise.


With over 20 years of multi-sport experience and a continuous commitment to expanding my knowledge, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your athletic goals and reach your full potential.
