About the Academy
The Academy is Bike School Bentonville's coached performance development racing team. Our whole-person philosophy and dependence on the long-term athlete development model is the same, but as athletes get older some are ready for more. The team will be expected to train 3-5 days/week. We will travel to races in a variety of disciplines in the region.
Our Focus:
Long Term Athlete Development
We aim to develop each athlete mentally and physically to be a strong, healthy cyclist and person.
Education
We offer education for the full picture. Training, nutrition, strength training, recover, and keeping it fun.
Develop Good Character
We are here to develop good life skills and character.
Avoid Burnout
We can help achieve goals and have fun doing it.
