For cyclists everywhere it is common to focus on one discipline of the sport, be it MTB, road, cyclocross, track, etc., but for Collegiate cyclists across the country they typically compete in multiple disciplines of the sport each season.
What's more, because these Athletes roll from one discipline and 'season' into another, there is little time for specific preparation and training. This presents Collegiate Coaches with a unique dilemma, preparing Athletes for a successful season, including competing for a national championship, in road or MTB while they are currently competing in a completely different discipline (track, BMX, cyclocross, etc.). Having been both an Athlete at, and Assistant Coach for, Lindenwood College in St. Charles Missouri, Coach Brady learned and implemented innovative ways to help his Athletes prepare properly to perform their best all year long. Now he is sharing those lessons learned and creative ways to achieve top-shelf fitness with his BWC Athletes. In this episode of the BWC Podcast he shares a few of his best "lessons learned" from Collegiate Coaching that you can apply to make your training time as effective as possible.
