Dare to Dream e-Coaching
My clients really enjoy my Dare to Dream e-Coaching Program
because it gives them enough time to learn every aspect of the
program, especially the on season and off season. It makes it
possible for me to work with my athletes for longer
periods of time, get to know them better, teach them more about all
aspects of the sport, and help develop them
further. They get quite a bit more satisfaction from the truly
customized program plus, in today's bad economy, it makes it
possible for them to continue to dream and achieve their dreams
without making a huge financial sacrifice.
Most of my riders are still from categories 5 through 3 and come to
me because they are struggling, no other coaches can help them, and
they just want to be competitive at the front of the peloton and
enjoy the sport. But, because they make a longer term
commitment to me, I am able to take them further than most of them
thought they would be able to develop. This often causes them
to stay with me even longer and permits me to take them even
further.
For example, one struggling cat 3 college student came to me saying
I was his last hope before he quit the sport and all he wanted and
had not been able to get from any local or other Internet coach was
to just develop physically and mentally to where he could race at
the front of the cat 3 peloton and have fun. He liked the
results so well that he stayed with me for almost 3 years before
leaving the program much more than satisfied with what I had done
for him. By the start of the 3rd year, he was consistently
placing in the top 6 against US pro's and, a year after leaving my
program, called me from Spain telling me he had been recruited by a
Spanish pro team and thanking me for helping him achieve something
he had never thought was possible. I think I gave him a little
more than he expected.
I have also had the opportunity to coach athletes in different
sports for fitness development and management such as skating and
running. You have to understand that I have been trained to
coach almost 20 different sports and can coach any sport for fitness
development and management. So far, all of these have been
athletes who had given up on another sport because they were getting
beat up by the better athletes in those sports and none of the
coaches in those sports had been able to help them develop to where
they could be competitive. So, in frustration, they quit that
sport and turned to bike racing quickly finding they had the same
problem with getting hammered out the back of the pack and none of
the local or other Internet coaches being able to help them.
Again, I was told I was their last hope before they quit this sport
in frustration as they did their previous sport.
When I quickly moved these athletes to the front of the pack in bike
racing, some earning their first ever medals in any sport, they
decided to try their first sport again and found out that they could
now compete on the front of those packs also. For example, one
athlete had left short track speed skating because he was tired of
finishing last and being lapped with none of the coaches being able
to help him improve. After me helping him get better at bike
racing, he tried short track speed skating to see how he would do
with a more fit body. He found himself hammering at the front
of that pack also and, after only about 6 months in my program, he
decided to return to his first love, short track speed skating,
telling me he didn't need me any more because I was a cycling coach
and he was once again a skater. He was back 6 months later
asking me to coach him for fitness development in skating and
cycling at the same time because he had not stuck around long enough
to learn how to properly manage the fitness program for continued
development. By the time I was through with him, he was a
hammer in short track speed skating, inline speed skating, bicycle
track racing, and bicycle road racing. He stayed with me for a
few more years and enjoyed and got more than he asked for. I
like giving my clients more than they ask for.
I now won't do any shorter programs because the Dare to Dream
Program works so much better even though I will let a rider drop
from the Dare to Dream Program before the contract has been
fulfilled because I don't want to coach anyone who doesn't want me
to coach them. If for some reason, you need or want to quit
the program, especially with this economy, all you have to do is let
me know and I will cancel the program from my end so PayPal won't
cause you any problems. They seem to prefer the program be
canceled from my end for some reason.
I am so happy with the Dare to Dream Program that it is the only
program I will work now. I only leave the shorter, more
expensive program PayPal button on the site so you know how good of
a deal you are getting with the discount so you will appreciate the
program even more. That button doesn't even work any more.
It takes time to properly develop the human body to a higher
physical level because I am making permanent changes in your body.
I am literally restructuring your entire body with most of it being
permanent which is why we call it fitness memory. When you are
rebuilding the entire human body a few molecules at a time, it takes
time to make those changes and make them right.
I like having the time to take my athletes to that higher level.
Many of you have been stuck in a mid to lower category for years and
this program is designed to help you achieve your dreams whether it
is to just race at the front in that category or try to go pro.
If you do what I tell you to long enough, you will get there but you
MUST stick to the program for it to work. A program
cannot work, if you are not using it.
It is a simple but sad fact that most beginning racers will never
make it to the cat 3 podium, much less to the professional level.
Those of you who do make it to even the regional pro level know that
you and all your friends took at least 10 to 15 years of hard
athletic training to get there, whether in cycling and/or in another
sport. Since I am a professionally trained and experienced “ human
body mechanic”, I know how to take athletes to the highest fitness
levels quickly but it still takes me at least three to five years to
turn beginners into professional caliber riders pending their
starting fitness level and how well they stick to the program.
I am really enjoying the extra challenge, work, and thrill of
watching my athletes, regardless of the sport, develop along with teaching
them how to change their
thinking as they change the function of their bodies. I prefer to get
an athlete who will stay with a coach long enough to develop a good
working relationship so that I can really begin to take them
places.
It is because of these things that I have decided to only offer a long
term coaching special to those athletes who dare to dream for the
higher levels of performance and have the determination and
stubbornness to stick with it for the years required to reach the
top. I have decided to call this program my “Dare to Dream
e-Coaching Program” where I will offer e-Coaching to such motivated
and inspired individuals for only $150/month to not only help you
with your coaching but also help you with your finances. That will
be a savings of $100/month or $1,200/year on my regular price.
Since I have been trained to coach almost 20 different sports, I
want to extend this to athletes in other sports who are primarily
looking for a fitness development coach to help them be more
competitive athletes. I would especially like to work with athletes
in sports for which the US doesn’t do too well internationally such
as distance running, cross country skiing, skating, and singles
rowing but can help athletes improve fitness in any sport and for
any country. I have already helped some struggling weekend warriors
improve significantly to obtain their goals in other sports like
cross country running and short track speed skating. I would like to
see what kind of damage I can do in other sports and how much butt
kicking I can do in those sports. It will be fun.
If you fit into this category or know some one who does, just fill
out or have then fill out my
information page on my coaching section but, when you get to the
goals box, start with “I Dare to Dream e-Coaching Special”, followed
by your goals, and then follow the link on the confirmation page to
the Payment Page to start your e-Coaching Program. There will be a minimum
commitment of 12 months to the program and you can extend it each
year until you have achieved your goals.
This program will come with the understanding that the price will
not change as long as you stay with the program no matter what my
regular coaching program price does. So, if you are willing to work
for years to win a state, national, or international title, win a
major sporting event, or just go pro, this program was designed for
you.
Time Requirements
I have been asked about the time requirements for going pro with this program so I
worked up the following information for you. Based on experience and
using my system, I know I can have you riding competitively at the
professional regional to national level for road racing in the US
with the following weekly riding time requirements:
1 to 1.5 hours/day X 4 days = 4 to 6 hours
2 to 4 hours/day X 2 days = 4 to 8 hours
4 to 6 hours/day X 1 day = 4 to 6 hours
Total weekly hours = 12 to 20 hours
Note that for the lower categories, it will only take about 8 to 12
hours per week. The above is a normal week for a pro on my program and there will be weeks in
which I use rest cycles (days off) to help you improve faster and
your hours will be significantly less. Most of the time, I will have
a competitive US pro riding at about 12 to 16 hours per week. Also,
the required hours per week will probably not start so high and will
be based on your fitness level when you come to me. For example, you
may only start out at about 8 to 12 hours per week pending your
fitness level.
How long will it take me to get you to this level?
It depends on:
1 The shape you are in when you come to me
2 How well you stick to my program
If you think you would like to take me up on this offer but want to
learn more first, please contact me.
