Mastering Coaching Skills 201: USA Cycling Course

As coaches, we are focused on the performance of our athletes. Yet how can we be sure we are improving our performance as coaches? In Mastering Coaching Skills 201, you will take your coaching expertise to the next level by developing your core coaching skills: communication, decision-making, emotional IQ.

Successful coaches know that athlete performance is more than the sum of the workouts. Coaching is an art as well as a craft, and your intuition and intention can draw the highest performance from your athletes.

Expert coaches Joe Friel, Jim Rutberg, and Melissa Mantak will help you better support your athletes.

In this course, you will learn:

Advanced communication and athlete engagement strategies
Decision-making models for high-pressure coaching scenarios
Techniques for fostering motivation, accountability, and resilience
How to create adaptable training plans tailored to individual athletes
Best practices for long-term athlete development and retention

Sometimes, we focus too much on workouts, physiology, and training approaches. By investing in the coach-athlete relationship, you can get more enjoyment from this rewarding career.
