Coaching all levels
Our coaching experience spans four decades. Over those years we have developed, researched and implemented the best practices in our sport working with cyclists and multisport athletes from the junior level to elite status. Our one principle is: we adapt our personalized coaching to your needs. It is because of this approach that we have seen the highest levels of accomplishment in our athlete’s, time and time again.
We coach not only at our base in Victoria, BC but also offer distance coaching. We offer five coaching packages – and a short term program – that best balances your needs, time, goals, and budget. But remember, no matter what program you choose, it is just a starting point. As you and your coach develop a relationship, the program will evolve to what you need to do to reach your peak potential.
