Individual Coaching

It is important to structure training for junior riders in a way that enables them to grow, race, learn, and find enjoyment in cycling over many years.

Junior riders are not small adults. As junior riders become serious about their racing, it is important to tailor an approach that meets them where they are in their cycling and racing journey and is tailored to their individual needs.

One-on-one coaching includes

  • Goal setting

  • Monthly personalized training plan in Training Peaks with adjustments as needed

  • Power-based/HR/RPE training analysis

  • Workout/race nutrition high-level guidance

  • Mental training and preparation

  • Unlimited communication via email, text, and Training Peaks

  • In-person coaching at team races

This hands-on approach assures that riders are in a positive and healthy training environment that is tailored to their individual needs.
