Testimonials
One of the best things that can be used from this clinic is the idea of working together as a team. That
stated, the best audience for the class is a team. Not only does the clinic offer the strategies, but the chance to apply it in a training race.
Individuals will also gain by understanding what the team is
attempting to do, and how to "join" their efforts. In an actual race,
racers from other teams (or unattached) who are really working with a
group will be respected for their efforts.
Good stuff, Alan. Thanks.TB
Great location and instruction. The "scrimmages" were a lot of fun and put into perspective the tactics that I read
about but don't fully absorb until you actually try them.TS
It is obvious to me that the things you have been teaching Team CS Racing all along are news to so many out there.JS
Racing a Bicycle is What We Want To Do
We can have the highest VO2 Max or the highest Threshold Power, but can that alone win races? That may be possible. Even with all of the power AND the inclusion of skills and tactical
knowledge, Lady Luck may just play into someone else's hands. But, let's be prepared anyway!
I have designed these clinics with you in mind, to help you increase your skill learning to make you more comfortable and, hence, to go faster and to also use your brain to help affect the outcome of any particular race.
These are not lectures. They are very 'hands-on' clinics expertly designed by me to bring you to a higher level. You will not only address your physical skills and work on improving them but also the mental side that
can take the game into another level entirely.
