We all have a pretty clear picture of what remote coaching looks like day to day, but what are the processes that make it so effective beyond individualised training and regular feedback?

What is it that creates the individualised training programme in the first place?

This week we take a look at how we start out with a new athlete and what the onboarding and initial training might look like in different situations. Do we need to collect a lot of data or is it better to just let the training guide the process?

In this episode we cover different strategies that we use ranging from traditional testing weeks, intake forms and data gathering, to a more emergent process where the focus is on the training and making big wins by refining the execution of daily training.

Check out this episode to discover how we start off with a new athlete and how that has developed over the years
