Coaching Philosophy...
The marriage of science and coaching.
Science and coaching can be a difficult marriage, but it is an essential marriage to move from just riding your bike to riding your bike to win!
The knowledge of how the body adapts to stress, over training, environmental factors, diet, hydration, biomechanics, the cardiovascular system and the nervous system, are important elements in the science and physiology of training.
More importantly in coaching and training is the coach and athletes ability to engage in a scientific process. The scientific process is the process by which you ask a question, design an intervention (in this case, a training program), create a hypothesis (for example, the athlete will perform their best in their next race), and then measure and collect data. If the data suggests all is on track, then the coach and athlete continues. If it suggests the athlete is not adapting, then the plan is changed, and a new intervention begun.
This is science, this is coaching...this is using a scientific and thoughtful approach to coaching. Coaching is measuring the athlete's response to training, and then adapting the training to maximize the response and requires the same system of thinking of a scientist trying to solve a problem, and that is why the best coaches use a scientific approach.
The approach above is the approach I bring to all my athletes!

Map location is based off of a geocode of the addressed entered using Google's Google Maps API. If your address does not geocode properly, you can either update the address (we will attempt to re-geocode after any updates to your entry) or you can use Google's geocoding tool found here: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/singlegeocode.html to obtain a lat/long for your location and enter that. To use the utility, type in an address that is close to your location and then drag-and-drop the marker to obtain the desired lat/long. If you choose to enter a lat/long, you must check the box on the edit page that says, "override geocode with entered lat/long."
