A British-born triathlete, Spencer Smith is a triple World Champion triathlete turned triathlon coach and one of only a handful of athletes to have consistently succeeded on the biggest stage at both short- and long-course distance triathlon. His triathlete and sports career record is exemplary. Spencer Smith has won over half of all the races he has ever competed in – a phenomenal statistic that is almost unparalleled in the sport of triathlon.

At the age of 20, Spencer became the youngest-ever World and European Champion. He was then the first male triathlete to win consecutive Senior World Championships (1993 and 1994) in addition to his Junior World Championship in 1992.

In recent years, Spencer Smith has trimmed down his race schedule in order to prepare for the next stage of his remarkable career, which will include expanding his multi-sport athlete and triathlon coaching company called “S2Coaching”.

The aim of S2Coaching is simple – to help multi-sport athletes, all of varying abilities, develop and reach their potential through world-class training. Along with this, Spencer is also assisting companies with triathlon-related marketing promotions and motivational staff programs.
