Working closely with a coach not only helps you get the most from each training sessions, it can also help you steer clear of the training pitfalls such as: injury, overtraining, self-doubt and plateaus in your development.

At KJO our coach’s work with you to set a mutually agreed plan that includes training, strategic conditioning, competition preparation and post-competition analysis. In addition, you’ll have regular e-mail and telephone contact with your coach to tweak your program and ensure your training stays on track.

The LTPD program provides a comprehensive range of resources and tools that allow participants access to the following;

• Performance Integration Support for athletes who are often juggling different goals and challenges. The LTPD Programme provides support to athletes to manage life issues effectively in order to achieve sporting excellence.
• Performance Support Services to assist athletes with world class coaching and sports science (e.g. physical conditioning, sport psychology and physiotherapy) based on individual athlete needs, times of the year and the individual athlete’s programme.
• Transition Support during times of voluntary or forced transition. This could include dealing with injury, retirement, changing goals and aims, or transitions into coaching.

The programs are packed full of opportunities and are highly personalised. Below we have identified a range of sample criteria;

• Warm up/down and posture exercises.
• SWOT Analysis review.
• Previous comp review.
• Training plan review.
• Short Float time to wire into the feature.
• Formal coaching towards agreed targets.
• Technical, Physical, Psychological and Tactical conditioning.
• Video Analysis during and after training/competition runs.

KJO will appoint a dedicated support coach to you. That person will be able to provide support out of session times. The kind of things that they will help with are; -

• Sports lifestyle management
• Individual Performance Plan.
• Feedback on private session SWOT analysis.
• Feedback on any performance video you send your coach.
• Requested call backs.
• Nutrition and energy needs.
• Travel advice for competitions
• Tapering you performance for competitions.
• Any other issues that may come up between sessions.

In any evolving program there is a need to adapt and adopt as appropriate. To that end we will supply:-

• Congruence report – it is very important for a coach to know where there athletes own measurement of performance lies and then to establish congruence between there own ideas and the athletes. Congruence reports don’t happen too often but do provide a realistic tool to ensure the athlete is working on the areas where development is most needed.
• The Video Diary – Every other session athletes will perform both pre determined sequenced and non sequenced rides. These will be video’d and time framed to allow a reflective opportunity to measure progression.

Your programme is flexible to fit around your lifestyle, work demands and frequency of your training requirements. However a mutually agreed development plan forms part of your training contract.
