coaching online is a complex process .  It takes a lot of time individually and that time could be better put to our personal lives. 

Right now I am willing to accept anything for pay, but I can’t sit here and tell this kid it will cost $300 a month for a training program and that’s about the least I could it for.  In person, I probably could go cheaper than $300 and sometimes I do it for free when I do it in person, but online takes a ton more time and it’s hard to get all the feedback I need to setup up a plan despite the number of initial questions I may ask.  Thus I spend a lot of my initial time (about 3 or 4 months worth) trying to get a feel for the athlete before the training plan becomes even remotely effective.

 

What is your coaching background?

Without knowing your experience how can you judge the cost of online coaching?

Instead of talking about whether or not this guy could afford a coach or not, why doesn’t everyone try to help him out. Free if you want to. Or offer options of someone who has a verifiable coaching background and is easy to contact and may take on new clients. Like I did. Solutions.

#1 my coaching background is pretty good you can visit my website at sprenten.com (at the current going rate of the number of plugs I am going to have to put an elitetrack banner on the site for mike), it’s new and I am still unsure on what way I want to take it.

#2 I can judge because this summer I did do online coaching and it was time consuming.  Too much time to be free and $300 a month is probably middle of the road in terms of price.

#3 Others have pointed him to the proper resources.
