SKILLS. KNOWLEDGE. FITNESS
These are the fundamentals I ask my riders to focus on. First, is to learn the skills that allow you to have a more enjoyable ride. Second, is the knowledge that surrounds the sport. This involves learning the mechanics of your bike, the reasons behind training/recovery, adapting to riding various conditions and much more. Finally, fitness is the most complex part of the cycling journey, however, the most rewarding. I am here to share my experience and help you create yours.
My Coaching Approach
I meet you where you are in your cycling journey. For riders looking to become professionals, or those who are looking to make big gains, or just get started, I offer what they need and make sure that we don't take shortcuts. For some, more skills than fitness, and vice/versa. I realize everyone is unique, and that's why I look to work directly with my riders.
My riders focused around fitness will use a customized plan for the rider that is accessed through Training Peaks. This give us both the data we need to make gains, stay on track, and plan for the future. A typical plan will consist of gym work, cross training, riding workouts, and more depending on the current needs of the rider. Riders needing more in person help, like skills, race support, etc. will have a slightly different connection than riders only on fitness focused training plans. Learn more about how all of this breaks down on my pricing page.
So, what and who do I coach? I coach cyclists of all ages in: Downhill, Dual Slalom, XC, STXC, Marathon XC, Ultra Endurance MTB, Gran Fondos, Century Rides, Cyclocross, and Gravel. I also work with riders who have goals that are outside of racing, like bike tours, FKT's, and personal fitness achievements.
I am a USA Cycling Certified Coach who travels to most USAC National Championships, and many large events throughout the year.
Riders who are looking for a customized plan, but are not a good fit for my approach? I will let you know before we start. I want to coach people I can help; that is why I do this. How do you know if you should hire me? Simple, email me and we will start conversation. Consultation is always free. No contracts and no BS. It's about your growth.

Athlete Development
There is more to being a professional cyclist than just being fast. The development side really comes into play with the "Knowledge" aspect of my mantra. To create opportunities and make it as a professional, you wear a few hats and have a deep understanding of the sport you're in. For example, you have to rock the marketing side as much as race day. For many brands, social media can sometimes mean as much as results. Some professional cyclists are making their career backed through social media and are no longer worried about race day.
Development also has a lot to do with learning more about riding skills, your bike, your gear, the hows and whys of the industry, or having someone (me) there to support you in the pits. Learning more in these realms not only allows you to enjoy the bikes more, but will allow you to take more towards being a pro, or finding success as you develop.
What does that mean for the rider? A few things. Each rider is unique and has unique goals. Do you want to take your media game up? Great, along with the marketing company Rocketpower Brand Co., we will work with you to launch your marketability as an athlete. This also means we will help broker sponsorship deals, connect with industry folks, and in turn, help you achieve your goals. To do this we may suggest vlogging, photo stories, photo shoots for sponsors, and much more, all of which we can help with and organize. Pricing for this varies as every rider is unique.
It may also mean you need skills help, bike help from a mechanical perspective, or someone to talk about line choice at the race. I'm here for that too. I'm here to help and coach you into the rider you've always dreamed of being.
