In my case, having a coach was something unheard of. As someone who inherited the “do it yourself" mentality, I used to pretend to not want a coach. Taking some credit for turning pro with very little directional training, I did ride professionally for three years before realizing that my skills did not meet the requirements of a successful athlete and college student.

15 hours of college enrollment and a 50-race cycling schedule was a new venture to me, and I wanted to be great at both of them. Per4mance Training directed me in ways unknown to many athletes (myself included), and taught me ways to succeed not only on the road, but in the classroom as well.

As of September 1st, 2007, I’ve been able to say that “I am one of the top 15 time trialists in the country", something I once thought unimaginable. Without the structure, up-to-date methods, and the dedicated relationship that P4T and I created, none of this would have been possible. Never have I considered the word “refreshing" as a characteristic of a coaching plan until now. P4T bleeds reverent leadership, consistency, and dedication to all of their athletes, and teaches skills useful in day to day life.

I’m happy to be a part of the Per4mance Training family, and wish to thank them for all that they have helped me accomplish.
