History of Kinetic Potential Coaching
A career-ending running injury directed me towards the sport of cycling at the age of 17. Now 24, I have been able to race professionally for the last 5 years under the guidance of former pro cyclist Kyle Mendenhall (formerly Kyle Smith).
I have used his style of training, tailored to the skill sets of each athlete, to allow every cyclist reach his or her highest goals. My first three clients progressed from category 4 racers to elite level cyclists, prompting others to suggest that I bring these training methods to the masses. This led to the creation of Kinetic Potential coaching in 2009, a company offering totally customized training programs that give cyclists of all ability levels the chance to reach their goals.
In December of 2009 I merged with fellow coach and professional cyclist Phil Gaimon of philthethrill.net. Phil brings a wealth of experience to Kinetic Potential as a professional cyclist and former coach at the University of Florida.
Mission of Kinetic Potential Coaching
Our goal is to adapt to the lifestyle of any client. Whether you work days, nights, or are a full time student, we excel at working around tough schedules. As a professional cyclist and former full time design engineer at Cannondale, I understand the necessity of time management and integrate it into all programs.
We strive to offer a variety of training levels. Most young riders ascending through the ranks of cycling don’t have the means to train with a power meter, but most coaching companies won’t accept a client without the use of one. This view caters toward elite racers and the wealthy, leaving kids and talented club riders without guidance. No power meter? No problem. Have one? We do that, too. You can (and will) train at the highest level either way.
Our number-one goal is to provide professional coaching at minimal cost. So many coaching programs today are incredibly expensive and give clients a “cookie cutter” schedule. Kinetic Potential’s training is completely personalized and is offered at prices much lower than anything else on the market.
