WHY CHOOSE ONE-ON-ONE COACHING
At NVDM Coaching, our personalized coaching services are designed to help athletes of all levels achieve their goals and reach their full potential. Our experienced coaches will work closely with you to develop a customized training plan that considers your individual needs, goals, and abilities. We have coaching plans for all types of endurance athletes, including short-course triathletes, long-course triathletes, runners, ultra marathons, cyclists, swimmers, obstacle course racing such as Tough Mudders, etc.
OUR COACHING PROGRAMS INCLUDE
A personalized Training Plan: Our coaches will work with you to develop a training plan that is tailored to your specific needs and goals. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced triathlete, we will create a plan that challenges you while also being sustainable and enjoyable.
Video Analysis: We use video analysis to help you improve your swim, bike, and run form. Our coaches will analyze your technique and provide feedback on how to optimize your form for maximum efficiency and performance.
Regular Check-Ins: Our coaches will stay in touch with you throughout your training to provide guidance, feedback, and motivation. We believe that communication is key to success, and we are committed to being available and responsive to our athletes. Coaches will make plan adjustments as they see fit.
Race Planning and Strategy: We will help you plan and strategize for your upcoming races, taking into account factors such as course terrain, weather, and your own strengths and weaknesses.
Benchmark Testing: Coaches will benchmark test each athlete at the appropriate time as a baseline, to track progress and to adjust pacing and power goals in subsequent workouts. Outside of testing, every workout is analyzed, so if an athlete is a quick responder to training, workout targets will be adjusted to make sure the athlete is always working at the right intensity to progress.
Nutrition Guidance: Coaches will work with athletes to dial in the exact nutrition plan for training and racing. Day to Day guidance will also be given based on what the athletes goals are.
LIFE IS DYNAMIC, SO YOUR TRAINING SHOULD BE TOO
