Topics:

• Business Structure and Growth

• • Is your business structured to succeed or simply exist? Are there growth opportunities, liabilities, risks or options you are not seeing?  I have created and operated multiple endurance sport businesses across the country including several large business in the US. Whether you are collaborating with friends or strategic partners, there are steps and precautions that you must understand to ensure financial safety and long term viability.

• Communication

• • The life blood of coaching lies in clear and balanced communication. Are you saying the right things? Are you listening? Learn the tips and tricks of growing relationships that last years, not just from event to event.

• Building effective Annual Training Plans

• • ATP’s serve as the 30,000 foot view of an athletes season and can help them understand and prepare for the future.  The ATP for a coach is multi facetted and holds hidden information and wisdom.  Nailing an athletes peak performance begins with understanding and creating optimal ATPs.

• Video Analysis

• • One of the most untapped resources for coaches who wish to grow their business beyond their local market is video analysis. It’s not as easy as you would think, but it is simpler than most believe.  Nail the basic elements and you can make this one of your strongest coaching tools.

• Creating your brand

• • Who are you and what do you represent? What drives you forward? What do you want to achieve and what are you willing to do to get there?  Coaches start out for a multitude of different reasons, but as time passes their focus begins to wanter.  I will help find your focus and show you how to create an understanding of who you are what you have to offer.

• Structuring the best long distance training plan

• • No two athletes are alike and thus each needs a unique approach, but there are some staples that can carry over from one to another.  We will identify the common mistakes new coaches may not see and learn new ideas of how to get the most juice from the orange, no matter if it is a first timer or a professional.
