Andreas Schoenherr
About me
My name is Andreas Schönherr, and I live in Zurich, Switzerland. I hold both Swiss and German citizenship, and I’m a proud father of two sporty children, with a great, athletic partner by my side. Alongside my passion for endurance sports, I spent many years working as a Managing Director in large international companies. I know firsthand how limited time can be—and how important it is to use it efficiently! Since I have turned into a full-time triathlon coaching professional, I have been able to celebrate success with my athletes at all levels of ability, from Rookie to Hawaii Finisher!
My Coaching Philosophy:
Triathlon changed my life! Through this sport, I’ve met incredible people and learned so much about myself, my body, and my mind. I have achieved more than I ever dreamed of, and I truly believe that with the right commitment and support, anyone can turn their dreams into reality.
Personalized training plans are essential for success. In the past, these were only available through expensive one-on-one coaching. But thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, we can now create highly customized, real-time AI training plans that maximize performance while minimizing wasted effort. These AI-generated plans continuously analyze your progress and adjust accordingly—but technology alone is not enough. That’s where I come in. As your coach, I ensure that these plans are perfectly tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle, providing expert guidance and motivation along the way.
My motto: “Train Smarter – Not Harder!”
My Coaching Offer:
I have partnered with TriDot and RunDot—cutting-edge AI-powered training platforms for running and triathlon. TriDot’s advanced algorithms optimize your training based on data-driven insights, ensuring maximum efficiency and effectiveness. But the real magic happens when AI training plans meet human expertise. My role as your triathlon coaching expert is to fine-tune your personalized training plans, keep you accountable, and make sure you get the most out of every session—so you can reach your full potential without unnecessary stress or wasted time.
Let’s train smarter together—and unlock your best performance!
