INTRO PAK:  Form/Gait Analysis + Training Knowledge
The purpose of this initial pak is to assess and identify bio-mechanical(form, gait, footstrike) & physiological (ROM, strength/weakness) limitations impeding your ability to optimize your running efficiency, economy, and speed.

During our 2.5-hours together your coach will also discuss personalized recommendations to improve your athletic performance-- along w/ training practices, injury prevention principals, nutrition/hydration guidelines, and shoes/gear choices that can amplify, or undermine, your potential as an athlete.  

*** If the athlete is under 18yo, a parent is required to attend both Intro Pak sessions. (Two meetings: 90-mins., 60-mins.) Any additional coaching paks are parent optional. ***

---------------------------------------------

BEYOND YOUR FIRST PAK:
Improving your athletic performance is a PROCESS…  

The “2. FORM/GAIT (Instruction+Dynamic Drills) PAK,” and then the “3. APPLIED RUNNING WORKOUTS PAK” are the next BEST STEPS to jumpstart your training and race/game performance.  

>>>  This programmed methodology (1. Assessment, 2. Skills Acquisition, 3. Practical Application), with a progressive training approach, was developed by USA Olympic Track & Field coaches for the world’s most successful track teams!  <<<

FOUNDATIONAL DRILLS:
We’ll start w/ customized FORM/GAIT Drills for your specific bio-mechanical needs (form, speed, strength, stretching/range of motion)-- each based on our INTRO PAK findings.  NEXT we’ll incorporate personalized DYNAMIC Drills-- to improve running economy/form efficiency (by creating new muscle memory/strength/flexibility) and coordination.  The result is increased speed and endurance, with less energy expenditure and risk of injury.

The result is increased speed and endurance, with less energy expenditure and risk of injury.  

*** These are LIFELONG TOOLS you can use to run faster and farther with fewer injuries! ***

HOW TO’s of TRAINING SMART:
We’ll also discuss/demonstrate highly personalized TRAINING STRATEGIES to develop a more EFFICIENT APPROACH to your training.  We consistently train SMART… not consistently hard. 

-------------------------------------

OUR #1 OBJECTIVE IS…
to TEACH you key training principles and develop your personalized “self-coaching” skills as quickly as effectively as possible, so you can begin to achieve your goals now— on your own, at less cost, AND with fewer injuries! We are TEACHERS-- not just rep/set counters or lap timers.

ATHLETE-CENTRIC SUCCESS:
The athlete drives their rate of improvement and competitive success.  Over 85% of your progress will occur outside of our sessions-- away from your coach.  You will get fitter and run/sprint faster, if you choose to do the drills correctly and consistently-- AND apply your expanding training knowledge to the decisions you’ll make during your unsupervised workouts and races/games.  

As your coach, I’m here to help guide you through this too often difficult and confusing solo process in a healthy, time-effective, result-focused manner. 

Look forward to meeting and working with you soon!
