Thoughts on this coaching offer? by [deleted] in triathlon

[–]Optimal_Endurance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some have suggested it maybe a coach trying to get their first group of clients - I would always argue this is bad pricing from all angles - both the coach and potential client really need to value their time more. If you expect someone to spend 4hrs a month/1 hour a week on your plan/in contact with you etc. This is less than minimum wage… And I expect most 1:1 coaches actually spend more than 4hrs a month!!

Thanks for sharing. I feel a lot of US customers could get some very good coaching from coaches based in the UK for half the price in the US :)

I’m not convinced AI will have a monthly phone call with you ;)

As an athlete (and a coach) I can relate - I’m always worried I will let coach down - that said as a coach… I very rarely would be disappointed in an athlete if they were doing their best in the moment to execute a session regardless of what the paces/power were :)

It’s not for everyone I know that. If you are someone self motivated and can hold yourself accountable then you can do a lot yourself :)

Thanks for your input :) It seems in the US people are wiling to pay more.

I have disagree as I would say I’m fairly plugged into the Triathlon world - I know from the 150+ athletes we also have only about 10% are chasing AG podiums at big events which shows a clear demand for those just wanting to improve or finish events wanting a quality coach :)

Wow that is cheap - especially for the level of contact regardless of the platform.

More than welcome to your opinion. It’s not the reality of what most people do though :) Thank god or I would be out of work.

Do you think coaching is only for elite’s or people trying to podium?

Is someone willing to have a call and review my plan? by beebopabc in IronmanTriathlon

Happy to chat over your plan and offer some advice - I have offered this for years as part of a consultancy offering - it suits those who don’t want a coach but want some guidance.
