EN Podcast #624: How the Endurance Nation Team Coaching Model Destroys the One-on-One Coaching Silo
Join Rich from Endurance Nation (www.endurancenation.us) for another weekly endurance podcast. This week Coach Rich explains the many, many weaknesses of the traditional, one-on-one triathlon coaching model. This model puts the Coach and Athlete into a silo that severely limits the potential of each party. The Coach has little incentive to innovate and the Athlete's growth is limited by the desire and ability of the coach to communicate his knowledge and experience downward. Endurance Nation destroys that silo, creating a horizontal, not vertical, organization with unlimited group learning potential. The World is Flat, the Blue Ocean Strategy, 90% of one-on-one coaches are part-timers with a very shallow learning curve and little incentive to innovate...it's all here!
