Coaching Philosophy:
Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with many athletes ranging from race day support to detailed training plans. I have found no two athletes to be alike, and believe that no two training plans should be alike. I strive to accomplish several goals with my athletes.
These are:
- Optimizing performance through a good balance of personal life, work, and training/racing.
- Developing weaknesses while never neglecting natural strengths, essential to being a well-rounded racer.
- Strong emphasis on teamwork as success in cycling is impossible without it.
- Accommodating rider's needs with the specific workouts and training plans that they desire.
- Flexibility to fit any schedule.
- Affordable one on one coaching.
- Having fun, and lots of it!
Coaching Package:
To begin coaching an initial consultation ($85) is required for NEW athletes. The purpose is to get to know each other and to check basic bicycle fit. A recent lactate threshold test is helpful, but not required. It will be used for creating workouts and proper training zones. A VO2 max test is also helpful, please contact me for more info.

This is an all-inclusive package that provides detailed training plans and unlimited client initiated contact.
- Off-season meetings which will cover setting personal goals for the season and points along the way, heart rate and/or wattage training zones, and season overview plan.
- One on one meetings as needed. These will cover a wide range of topics as desired by the individual. This is when training plans will be formulated. Plans are distributed via Excel Speadsheet.
