Program DetailsWhy have a Coach?
You say you are a smart individual. You can understand the concepts of power based training. You have been riding and racing for some time now. Why do you need a coach?
We feel that coaches offer three things that will create an advantage for the athlete over the self-coached individual. They are Perspective, Freedom, and Accountability.
Perspective.
That is, a detached opinion of your training. I think that being a self-coached athlete can work. But being coached helps provide another set of eyes looking at you and your training.
We are objective. Sometimes it is hard to be objective about yourself. Even with concrete data like power, we will be honest about that data, can see if you are progressing according to plan, and can recommend changes to that plan based on your response to it.
Freedom.
Freedom from the work of the plan. You can login, get your workout and complete it. You won't have to angst over what and where and how. You can just follow the workouts and upload your files.
We will be pouring over them. And we will share the analysis with you. But you won't have to spend that time of your day worrying about it. That is taken care of for you.
Got a week of travel and that screws with your training plan? No problem, drop us an email and we will make adjustments that take everything into account, and still keep you on track.
Want to ski for a 4 day weekend, but not sure how that will affect your plan. Not your problem, we take it as a challenge and figure a way to make it work to your advantage.
We offer freedom from having to figure out which workouts, how many hours, and when is the best time to arrange the workouts.
Accountability.
We saved this for last, because we believe that it is the most important. For reasons that we believe are fundamentally human, accountability to another individual or coach produces results.
There is something about knowing that your coach is going to be looking at your files at the end of the day that makes you not slack. That makes you get up, and go ride the trainer where you otherwise wouldn't have.
And that accountability WILL produce consistency, which is probably the BIGGEST contributor to successfully following the best laid plan.
