ANECDOTE

Obvious Problems Aren't Always Obvious

  • Dave took on a Leadville athlete who rode in gym shorts and later swam without goggles, revealing big blind spots.
  • Small, basic equipment and skill gaps can persist even after months of coaching and surprise the coach.
ANECDOTE

Workouts Aren't Calendar-Locked

  • Cody assigned a nine-hour ride and the athlete did it on a bad weather day instead of moving it because she thought workouts must land on specific days.
  • Athletes may not know how to adapt schedules and assume workouts are immovable.
ADVICE

Build A Clear Onboarding Packet

  • Use an onboarding packet that explains roles, expectations, and how your workouts are structured.
  • Force coach and athlete to preemptively think through scenarios to avoid early confusion.
