Coaching Approach
We take the same approach with coaches as we do with our athletes - we are interested in whole person development and bio-psycho-social well being. We want to help people achieve their potential and build skills (on and off the bike) that will last a lifetime. We are committed to the ongoing development of our coaches and will have continuing education regularly.
We are creating a think tank for mountain bike coaching - a coaching center of excellence. We take a collaborative approach, working together to solve coaching problems and push the industry forward while creating life-changing experiences for the participants in our classes.

- Hours can/will increase over time but will start with about 4-10 hours/week (4 hours during the week, the rest of those hours will be dependent on weekend participation)
