- Swim Instruction/Video Analysis: Learn how to save time from swimming endless meters without any improvement. Get immediate critique of inefficiencies. Learn strategies from an experienced coach who has helped dozens of athletes of all ages to improve swim times, stroke, all while staying injury free. You will get drills to improve (and yes, anyone can improve) instead of a mindless list of various distances and paces to swim.
- Run Efficiency Analysis: From observation and shared video analysis, learn about your running style and how attention to form can make a difference. To save energy and improve form will allow more running, longer runs, and more years of running overall. Make an investment in your running by making shifts toward running economy before injury strikes. Shoe analysis will also be discussed. Of the three sports, this is the one everyone assumes they can get by on their own UNTIL stymied by injury. Engage before that happens, and let's clean up that run for a better overall running experience!
- Bike Analysis: This starts with a recommendation for a good bike fit-- from that we work on developing areas of weakness to make the athlete stronger and more efficient in the saddle. Without simply overspending on gear at the bike shop, we examine core, leg alignment and cervical spine strength. We will then provide the athlete with drills/stretches to focus on those elements. Aerodynamics comes with proper alignment AND gear!
- Video Analysis: Form and technique advice offered via visual feedback. Available for swimming, biking, and running. This is helpful for gauging improvement. The video clip stays with athlete for learning purposes.
- Open Water Swim Session: Provide side-by-side instruction in a non-pool environment. Pacing, swimming form and race strategies unique to open water are offered here which make an essential difference on race day!
