Few people have the experience to guide, motivate, and train you to achieve your goals like Jason Metters, the principal behind Tri2Aspire. Jason is an ex-professional athlete from one of the most demanding endurance sports there is – Triathlon

Jason first took up the sport of triathlon at the age of 16 year old. From a strong swimming background, which included success at the Australian national level, Jason competed in his first triathlon event in 1989 and is proud to point out that his debut event saw him exit the water 3 rd out of 1,700 only to finish up 852nd. By 1991, Jason was recognised as a talented athlete with the potential to be a ‘contender’, and was added to the Australian Triathlon Development Program run by Australia’s highly prestigious Institute of Sports. Jason made his debut as an international triathlete, representing Australia at the World Triathlon Championships in 1991 as a junior representative with Australia taking Gold in the Team Junior category.

In 1993 Jason became the youngest addition to the powerful and prestigious Tricastan Triathlon Team of France. With Tricastan, Jason raced extensively in France in his first year, and then won over ten international races that same year in Austria, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Tahiti and New Caledonia.

In 1994, Jason was asked to join, and became the first non-European citizen to join the French Assystem Triathlon Racing Team. The Assystem Triathlon Racing Team was spearheaded by the multiple world champion Simon Lessing and US legend Mike Pigg. Assystem dominated the triathlon circuit racing throughout the world for the next 3 years. As part of the Assystem Team, Jason raced in the famous French Iron Tour series in 95,96,97, which notched up three consecutive Iron Tour Team victories in which Jason placed 8 th overall, a feat that is even more impressive by the fact that Jason was Simon’s Chief domestique through 95 and 96.

In 1995 Jason beat his “idol” 6 time Hawaiian Ironman legend Mark Allen not once but twice in the New Caledonia International and the Fiji International a week later. Something that Jason will cherish as that year mark went onto to claim his 6 th and final Kona World Title.

From 1996 though to his retirement from professional racing in 2003, Jason won over 45 International Triathlons in more then 20 countries. Jason’s life then took another direction when he realised that the skills that he used to such great effect on the racing circuit, were just the sort of skills that many people craved to apply in their ordinary lives: commitment, focus, effort, a positive mental attitude, the ability to keep going when it all seemed too hard, the ability to turn a tough situation around, and the glue that holds it all together - the desire and will to achieve a goal. So Jason decided to help others to develop and enhance these skills through participation in ‘self-competitive’ sports like triathlon.

However, that doesn’t mean he has walked away from the sport he loves – no one can teach if they don’t do it themselves, right? So Jason still races in triathlons at what he calls a “fun” level, particularly in the Middle East, where he is the Private Health adviser to HH Sheikh Falah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan son and founder of the UAE President Sheikh Zayed.

With over 16 years experience at the top of his sport, and possessing an immense knowledge of triathlon, Jason has had the opportunity to train and work with a host of world champion triathletes. He worked with 3 time World Champion Emma Carney, and has also trained alongside current and previous champions of the sport such as Greg Welch, Michellie Jones, Cameron Brown, Mike Pigg and Simon Lessing to name but a few.

Within the sport of triathlon few people have the depth of knowledge and experience that Jason possesses. Being an athlete himself, he has a strength and understanding of the requirements necessary to ensure improvements are made, and can develop realistic programs for any level of athlete, from the first time “newbie” all the way to the very elite of the professional triathletes. And he does.

In addition, with his VIP Health Service, Jason has worked extensively with members of the Royal Family of Abu Dhabi, and various other VIP clients throughout the Arabian Gulf with tremendous success. Some of these clients just want weight loss – and Jason’s famous “live in bootcamps” have been highly successful for them. In fact, his motivational techniques have become quite famous in the region for “stripping” weight off these clients. Others want that ‘adventure’ put back into their lives and seek Jason in completing that sporting event they once thought could never eventuate. Many of these clients have become close friends of Jason’s as his services often require that he lives with his clients, and with his highly ‘can do’ approach to life, many seek his help in transitioning to a healthier lifestyle.
