Absolutely. If you are local to the Virginia Beach/Tidewater area I can offer individual sport analysis and coached sessions based on my availability. If you are out of town we can schedule to meet depending on mine or your travel plans.
I can also offer individual sport analysis through video. This service is included with my coaching rate.

I require heart rate monitors for all athletes.
Athletes should also have a bike trainer or access to a stationary bicycle for indoor riding purposes.
I strongly encourage athletes to have a power meter (either on a trainer or on the bike itself).

I do not have a set time commitment for the months required for my services, but I will strongly recommend a duration of time based on your race schedule and goals.
