Seems like nobody invests more sweat equity in their sport than track and cross country athletes and their coaches. The athletes start logging miles in the off-season and then pile on even more once the season starts. And the work doesn’t end after the workout. Coaches invest hours analyzing the data, logging individual split times on the computer and strategizing on how to help their athletes improve. We have some of these volunteer coaches in our midst here at Garmin, so we get it. And we think it’s payback time, so we just launched the Garmin Coach program. Garmin Coach rewards student athletes and coaches with a $50 rebate on the purchase of a Forerunner 210, Forerunner 610 or an FR70 with foot pod. In addition to giving athletes the ability to track every mile and minute of their training, they can upload their runs to a team page at Garmin Connect where their coach can analyze the data in detail, see an athlete’s progression through the season, compare to other team members’ data and more.

Look for the Garmin Coach rebate at your specialty fitness dealer and find out more at the Garmin Coach website. Rebate extends from January 15 - May 15, 2012.
