Steve is a USA Cycling Certified cycling coach with years of experience. But Steve offers more than just cycling training; he provides full coaching in all aspects of an athlete's life - physical, mental and emotional. Check out our conversation:

Come on, everyone can benefit from a little coaching

By walker on 7/27/2006 on walker's blog

Do you need a cycling coach? Is it time to re-focus on your skills? Are you getting rusty?

I have a friend who just switched coaches. I was shocked to learn he actually had a coach to begin with.

"What do they help you with?" I asked.

"She keeps me focus and I don't overtrain," he answered.

"Well, since when is overtraining a bad thing, I ask you? OK, it is, but I can control it. I don't think I need a coach to tell me to stop training," I said.

"I doubt that, Walker," he said.

The truth is, a coach might help me. What about you?

I looked into a couple of coaching programs to see what they are all about. The Peaks Coaching Group has specialized coaches that seem to focus on helping you push the outer boundaries of the aerobic frontier. They have a surprising number of athletes using their services: Jeremiah Bishop, Nick Waite, Matt Cooke. These are all consistent podium finishers.
