Realizing our dreams usually requires the guidance of others to take us to the next level.  My role as cycling coach is to lead, guide and direct you to work hard and attain results never before achieved.  You will do the heavy lifting while I am there to direct you in the right direction and challenge you to give it everything you've got.  If you can think it and believe it, then you can achieve it.

What is my philosophy and style of coaching athletes?

First, my philosophy is goals driven.  It is important to have a target or multiple targets to set your sights on.  I help you identify those targets and structure a plan to have you ready to achieve them.

Second, I focus on your overall development as an endurance athlete.  Athletic development takes time, and requires tremendous focus and patience.

Third, I help to manage all stress in your life in way that promotes balance.  Work, marriage, school, family - they all impact your ability to succeed.  I will keep an eye on the big picture and help balance training within all of life's demands.

Fourth, I am here to hold you accountable.  Your success is my success, and together we make it our success. 

My approach is much like that of a SWOT analysis:

Utilize and enhance your natural STRENGTHS
Minimize and improve upon your limiting WEAKNESSES
Identify and capitalize on your potential OPPORTUNITIES
Isolate and overcome your perceived THREATS 

By understanding your strengths and weaknesses I can prepare a precise training program to fit your needs.  With the knowledge of your opportunities and threats we can address the mental and tactical aspects of cycling development. 

I realize it is a tough decision if you are considering hiring a cycling coach.  However, considering the time and energy you put into the sport a coach may be the wisest investment you make in your cycling career.
