Frequently Asked Questions
Can't I just follow a generic programme?
You can. But generic programming is built to work for the average athlete on average — it isn't built for your sport, your training age, or your current phase of season. That mismatch is where months of adaptation get wasted. 1-1 coaching removes the guesswork.
Is this right for my level?
Coaching starts with an assessment of your training history, sport demands, and current level — recreational through competitive. The programme is scoped to where you actually are, not a fixed template you're expected to fit into.
How is this different from a free plan or app?
Free plans and apps can't see how you're actually responding week to week. This is evidence-based coaching with a real feedback loop — check-ins, video review, and adjustments based on your data, not a static PDF.
Can I join if I'm carrying an injury?
Many athletes start coaching while managing something. Training gets adapted around the injury where appropriate — load managed, movement adjusted, and progressed safely back toward full training.
How long should I commit to the programme?
At least 3 months is recommended — that's the window needed to properly assess your performance, apply changes, and see measurable progress. Coaching runs monthly, so you're not locked into a long-term contract.
I don't know if I have enough time for this.
Most athletes don't need more training hours — they need clearer priorities and a better structured week. When training is organised properly, time pressure usually goes down, not up.
