What's your motivation to invest in a great cycle coach?
Before you invest your money into a coach whether it is just for cycling or for training for a triathlon you need to be able to judge who will best meet your needs. You might have an idea of the personal goals you have, whether it is something specific like speed or distance, or something more general like just to get better at it. The best way to achieve that is with a tri training plan and a good coach so here are some tips.
Looking for a coach
The first step is knowing how and where to look. There are several ways to look for a cycle coach. You can ask people you know for recommendations or at a cycling club, you might have joined. Sometimes recommendations word of mouth is the best kind. Who do they suggest and why and then you can ask specific questions you might have. There are also websites of various professional coaches you can find and there are things like the British Cycling coach directory.
Getting the best motivator
Having a coach is a great way to improve as they can offer you a tri training plan, motivation, support and advice. Different coaches come with different experiences, skills and how they approach coaching. The relationship you have with your coach is critical. Whatever your motivation is for wanting to invest in a coach you need to find someone approachable, someone you can engage with and someone with flexibility.
Find someone organised
The cycle coach should treat each rider they are coaching as an individual. This is the best way to assess more accurately what your needs are and to look at your motivation and goals. They can then work out what methods would suit you best and you would get the most out of. This means you need someone who communicates well and are very organised. Being analytical of your data and understanding all feedback you give them and then using that information to adjust your training plan.
