Jim’s educational accomplishments include numerous formal courses from college classroom & lab to USA Cycling multi-day classes and training at the US Olympic Training Centers in Colorado Springs, Colorado and Chula Vista, California. Furthermore, Jim has studied and trained with pro bike-fitter Michael Sylvester as well as Tim Crunk of Crunk PT to become one of the top bike-fitting professionals in the U.S. and currently performs over 200 bike fittings each year.

Coaching Philosophy:

As a network engineer, father of three, and husband, I know how how hard it is to come by training time. My goal as a coach is to help my athletes balance their desire to compete at their highest ability with their responsibilities to work and family. I tend to work with serious recreational and amateur racers who are dedicated to competing and training.

My particular approach to training is to begin with setting realistic, specific, and attainable goals. From these goals we'll work together to formulate a realistic training plan to achieve those goals. And during the season, we'll work together, when necessary, to adjust your plans and goals according to the realities of life for the amateur athlete.

A self-professed data geek, Dan combines his love of power, heart rate and other performance metrics with an intuitive and human touch into a training philosophy that’s realistic and rewarding. Whole Athlete Development is more than a training schedule -- it encompasses Physical Training, Skill Development, and Building Inner Strength. Based on Dan’s client recruitment numbers, this approach seems to be particularly successful addressing the unique requirements and motives of Female athletes, Juniors and Masters.

Audrey’s goal is to optimize athletes’ nutrition for best performance. She is especially interested in endurance sport, both summer and winter sport (i.e., cycling, mountain biking, triathlon, cross country skiing). Audrey’s research examined the effects of training volume, eating attitudes and behaviors, and dietary intake on the health of female college athletes. She presented her research at ACSM and ECSS (European College of Sports Science) conferences. Audrey educates and inspires you to reach your goals by becoming more in tune with your different body signs and to use these signs to give yourself exactly what you need, when you need it.

Now as the Director of Outdoor Programs at Western Carolina University, and with plenty of flexibility to train, Josh has returned to a high level of bicycle racing. In 2006, he once again represented the USA in the Mountain Bike World Championships, earning a 9th place finish in the 30-34 age category. Although he still holds a professional mountain bike license, Josh now races mostly on the road as a category 1 rider for the Globalbike Cycling Team (www.teamglobalbike.org), and is also an avid cyclocross racer.

Coaching Philosophy:

In addition to riding and racing bicycles, Josh has a passion for teaching and helping others discover their athletic potential and realizing the joy that athletic activity can bring to their life. Always willing to share, Josh is full of useful information gleaned from his experience. As a person known to devote a high attention to detail, you can't help but learn and improve when working with Josh.

Josh is available to customize a coaching program specifically for you. Whether you are preparing for that big century ride, just getting started with racing, or are a seasoned veteran of road, mountain bike, or cyclocross racing, Josh can help you achieve your goals with efficiency.

His training and coaching philosophy is simple, enjoy the ride, find your goals, sharpen your focus and succeed. Training can and should be fun as long as all the goals are addressed and periodically reassessed. Alex understands that cycling is a passion for most riders. But also realizes that time constraints and other obligations need to be considered in any training program.

Overuse injuries in cycling are fairly common. Such a problem prompted Alex to start his career in Physical Therapy. With his PT background, Alex is a great coach for balancing strength and flexibility. Innovation through personal experience!

Coaching Philosophy: I am a firm believer in positive thoughts and visualization, they have helped me reach my goals in such a short time and I know they can help you achieve yours. I also believe that it is about quality not quantity, most people have lives outside of sport and I would love to help you find balance to be successful in both. I would enjoy coaching you to achieve your goal(s) whether it is winning a championship or just becoming more physically active. I believe with proper training both on the physical and mental aspects of sport you can achieve the success you want!

Taking the first step towards a goal can sometimes be the hardest one, so if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

in local cycling events and his results drew the attention of Tim Decker, a coach to many of Australia’s young Pro Tour riders. In eight months Simon went from an entry level to a Professional category cyclist. In 2009 he left his coaching career to pursue an opportunity to combine his passions for cycling and Diabetes outreach with the Team Type 1 Cycling Team based in the United States. That same year, he was part of the RAAM 8 man team that broke the World Record for the transcontinental crossing (5d,9h,5m) that is still held today. In 2011 while on a trip to Africa with Team Globalbike Simon achieved his second World Record in becoming the first Type 1 Diabetic to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in less than 4 days beating the previous by 2 days.

US Para-Cycling Program- Affiliate Coach- coached at National Championships in June 2011 and at the United States Olympic Training Center October 2011

Coaching Philosophy: “I have always thrived on overcoming challenges and thinking outside the box to accomplish what others think may be out of reach. Competing in 2 different sports at the Elite level while balancing my Type 1 Diabetes has given me a unique insight and wisdom to problem solving, time management and goal setting that I believe can help my clients achieve their potential. I use my passion, dedication and attention to detail as a part of every training session for my clients. Bringing a strong, healthy, injury free athlete to their goal event is a primary focus of my coaching. For me, it’s all about prior planning and preparation mentally and physically which will prevent poor performance. I see my client and myself as two equal parts of one team working towards a common goal.”

Simon now calls Greenville, SC home after marrying his wife Jennifer in 2010. He will continue to race his bike with Team Globalbike on the elite level and proving that anything is possible.
