My Style

Much of the rest of my life as an engineer and husband and father helps define who I am as a coach.

I am scientific, detailed and analytical in my approach. Each athlete is an individual training experiment. By measuring the athletes ability and desires I start to formulate the best course of action. Consistent observation and assessment of how the individual is responding to the training then revising and adapting the training regime accordingly is my primary focus. I prescribe training based on duration and intensity as measured by perceived exertion, heart rate and power metrics depending on the athlete. I also integrate appropriate recovery, as adaptation to training stress only occurs during recovery. I aim to provide the application of optimum stress coupled with optimum recovery to yield optimum improvement on a highly individualized basis.

I believe that educating the athlete is a primary duty of a coach. I want the athlete to understand the training. I enjoy explaining the logic behind the training. I want to provide insight regarding the science behind the training.

As a family man and professional I realize that cycling and sport must fit within the whole picture of the athlete's life. As a coach I aim to structure the athlete's training in order to fit within that whole picture. Balance is key. I aim to provide the highest quality of training given the quantity of time the athlete has available.
