The_Break Posted January 8, 2011 Share Hi Guys and Girls I am currently doing research on what other coaches are charing around the country and the services they offer. I do not want names, company names, etc, but ask that if you are currently being coached in any of these disciplines that you could answer the following questin: Your age?Your sex?You discipline/sport?Province and City?Monthly fee?What you get?Did you sign a contract?How often your program gets sent to you, monthly, weekly.How many days a week you spend with your coach?How often your bike setup and techniques are checked?How often you perform testing?Do you receive technical advice regarding equipment and do you feel it is accurate?Do you receive mental training? Please don't let this get into any argument about what is right and wrong. I have started another thread where we can do this so that this is strictly for research purposes. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/94233-what-coaches-should-and-shouldnt-do/ Please also remember to leave names and companies out of this so their is no offense taken by anyone. Thanks in advance for your input. Regards, The Break Edited January 8, 2011 by The_Break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had the coaching services of the Great LS then you would have needed a sponsorship as that Pro Package is expensive even in Canadian Dollars. Good to see you are still doing well! Will send you a PM later tonight to catch up. P.S. I have also gotten back into coaching since getting back from the US. Time to give back after all the good years I had on the bike.

zabel Posted January 10, 2011 Share There are a lot of coaches out there that are milking people for money. They create a false sense of the person’s ability in order to get monthly pay check. Be careful of these guys. If you going pay for a decent coach go with Activworx - Carol Austin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtbO Posted January 23, 2011 Share For R250 per month you can get a program from the High performance center in Pretoria. So if you don't need to see your coach every week then I think that it is a pretty good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
