Individualized Custom Coaching is priced at $200/mo or $550/qtr.

As an Online Correspondence Coaching business, we often work with remote clients, but with modern technology we can do so without sacrificing our level or quality of service. I primarily use TRAININGPEAKS to deliver, download, analyze and communicate with our athletes. TRAININGPEAKS' state-of-the-art platform is included in my Coaching Package and allows me to plan my athletes' daily/weekly/monthly schedules, develop an Annual Plan based upon events and races throughout the season, deliver the workout calendar directly to them with session targets and descriptions, and after they upload the workout data from their devices, analyze the data to track our progress and build upon this to plan the next training block. Since communication is vital to our combined success, my Coaching Service does not limit amount of personal communications and I am open to unlimited email, phone, text messaging, and FaceTime meetups as often as needed.

Included in my standard Program is also an Initial Planning Session, where we set season goals and targets, along with discussing potential races and developing a realistic time commitment to properly prepare for the planned events. I also include equipment consultations, basic bike fitting (either in person or using video capture techniques), race execution planning sessions, race fueling/hydration advice, and whatever else it takes to get my athletes to their Finish Line with a satisfied smile on their faces.

As far as technical equipment, I ask all athletes to have, at minimum, a GPS/HRM watch (Garmin, Suunto, etc) to track basic data. However, I do highly recommend additional items such as a bicycle power meter, separate bike computer, "Smart" bike trainer, and certain swim gear (paddles, fins, etc) in order to maximize my ability to guide my athletes and get the very best out of each session. I also highly recommend ZWIFT as a virtual bike training platform, as it works well in tandem with TRAININGPEAKS, and have found it to be an extremely effective platform to enhance Indoor Bicycle Training for optimal Outdoor Bike Performance. As the prices of technology gradually come down, these things become more available and I am glad to help find the best additions that will not break the budget.

To begin, i like at least a 3 month initial commitment, as I feel that is the time that it takes to get to know how an athlete responds to training stimuli, to build good training habits, and I think it takes at least that much time even for an athlete who has already been training to properly prepare for a key event and see results. For an athlete that is fairly new to structured training it will likely require a longer time commitment. Personally, I prefer to work with long term clients, as i find that athletes with "Infinite Goals" (ie. be a fit, healthy, improving athlete), respond better to my methods than those with "Finite Goals" (ie. finish X race). That said, I have worked with both types of athletes and had great success, usually exceeding their own expectations.
