Dr. John (Johan) Hellemans is a distinguished, recently retired sports medicine practitioner, elite triathlon coach, author, and speaker, with a career spanning over four decades in medicine, coaching, and high-performance sport. Born in Groningen, The Netherlands, in 1953, he immigrated to New Zealand in 1978, where he became a permanent resident and significantly influenced the country's endurance sports landscape. After earning his medical degree from the University of Groningen, Dr. Hellemans pursued further qualifications in sports medicine and general practice in New Zealand. He played a pivotal role in establishing key sports medicine institutions, including SportsMed Canterbury and Active Health QEII. His expertise was instrumental in founding the New Zealand Triathlon Academy in 1995, emphasising altitude training and athlete development. As a coach, Dr. Hellemans has mentored numerous elite athletes, such as Erin Baker, Andrea Hewitt, Kris Gemmell and most recently Dylan McCullough, guiding them to world championship titles and Olympic participation. He also served as the head coach for the Dutch National Triathlon Team from 2010 to 2013, leading athletes like Rachel Klamer and Maaike Caelers to international success.
