Athlete Testimonies
Christina not only helped me improve my cycling fitness and handling skills but also my mental game and overall approach to training and racing. She takes a holistic view of your life in terms of time available to train, stresses, goals, etc and formulates a plan for success. She helped me nail down things that were really unnecessary distractions (e.g pre-race routine, nutrition) that enabled me focus on what I needed to focus on (which she also helped dial in). I regularly refer to her notes from our discussions, as I need those helpful reminders / tips. While she often reminded me race results aren’t everything and frequently out of our control, she did coach me to my first leader’s jersey in a State Elite Series (CX), first State Championship (CX – age-group), and many podium finishes and Nationals representation. - Tracy Martin
As a serious racer 20 something years ago, I had 3 basic rides: long
and slow, intervals, or tempo, with really very little rhyme or
reason as to what I did on a given day. Fast forward to 2015,
when I started working with Coach and I was overwhelmed with the
new training modality that included power meters, HR variance, and on
and on. With a more than full time work load, I had no time to figure
it out myself. This is where Coach comes in…Christina keeps me focused, on task and moving forward in a way that I’m
not over-trained, but ready on race day. And there’s a certain degree
of accountability when I look at a workout and it is mind numbingly hard
- I know that Coach is doing what I’m doing and more which makes my
willingness to get out there and suffer that much greater. - Derrick Birdsall
