Meet Coach Jamii North

Jamii North’s journey into multi-sport began with a bang—her first triathlon was the Iron-distance Vineman. This monumental feat marked the beginning of her journey to push beyond limits. Jamii’s story is not just about competing but about embracing the challenges and enjoying the journey. Her transition from athlete to coach shows her passion for the sport and her desire to help others achieve their dreams.

Coaching Philosophy: Empowering Perimenopausal Women

One of the standout aspects of Jamii’s coaching philosophy is her focus on perimenopausal women. She emphasizes the importance of strength training and offers invaluable insights for endurance athletes at any stage of their journey. Jamii believes that with the right training and mindset, athletes can not only maintain but enhance their performance during this stage of life. Her approach is tailored, inclusive, and designed to meet the unique needs of her athletes, ensuring they feel empowered and supported.

These practical insights can make a significant difference, turning good performances into great ones.

Community and Support: Feisty Menopause

Finding a supportive community is vital for any athlete, and this is especially true for women navigating the challenges of menopause. Jamii highlights the incredible work of Feisty Media and their Feisty Menopause platform. This community provides resources, support, and a sense of belonging, helping female athletes continue to thrive. The importance of a supportive network cannot be overstated, and platforms like Feisty Menopause play a crucial role in the well-being and success of their members.

Fun Segment – Food Talk

To wrap things up, we have a fun and light-hearted segment where Jamii and Jason discuss some delicious and sometimes contentious food topics. Does Jamii like pineapple on pizza?
