FAQ

  • Who do you coach?

    We coach competitive off-road athletes who bring their own motivation. We are not your cheer-leader; we’re your partner. If you race exclusively or mainly in the disciplines of Mountain Biking, Cyclocross or Gravel, and if you have goals you’re trying to acheive, you’re a candidate for Pivotal Coaching

  • Who have you coached in the past?

    Pivotal Coaching has coached athletes to UCI World Championship podiums in XCO and marathon racing. We have coached USA Cycling and British Cycling National Champions. We have athletes in the top 10 UCI rankings world wide for their discipline and age. Athletes have achieved Master’s Cyclocross National Championships Podiums with us, as well as High School state champions and podium athletes.

  • Should I trust you with my data?

    Pivotal Coaching treats every athlete relationship as fundamentally confidential. We do not use you or your data as a marketing tool for our business. All data and communication stays strictly between athlete and coach, and will never be shared.

  • How much does a coaching plan cost?

    Pivotal Coaching works with athletes on an individual basis to design and implement the necessary training and lifestyle plan needed to hit the desired outcomes. This means our pricing can vary as needed to accommodate most athletes. As a guide, individual personal coaching plans begin at $350 per calendar month with no minimum contract or start up fees.

  • Do I need a powermeter to work with you?

    While our approach to coaching ranks the holistic needs of an athlete above the mindless collection of data, it is necessary for high performing athletes to utilize power and heart rate data as one tool in their pursuit of performance. We recommend that any athlete seeking national or international results should have powermeters on each of their bikes.

  • How many athletes do you coach?

    In order to maintain the quality of the coaching relationship and ensure each athlete gets focused attention, we limit our active athlete roster to 10 people. The desire to keep our services honed strictly on mountain biking and cyclocross athletes has allowed us to take the bespoke route without relying on coaching a huge volume of athletes to pay the bills.
