“I have been impressed with Zach’s competence and professionalism as a cycling coach since the day I started working with him. As a competitor at the highest level of the sport, he has a comprehensive understanding of the factors required to achieve success in the full spectrum of cycling competition. During the past six months of working with Zach, I have learned more about training, mental toughness, race tactics, and nutrition than I have during my last two years of racing as an amateur cyclist. Zach’s experience and advice have proven invaluable in my progression as an athlete. He invests himself into the development of a detailed training plan while maintaining an open line of communication with the athlete and keeping the realities of life’s stressors in mind. Zach knows how to motivate and push without making training feel like a chore. Zach’s empathy, enthusiasm, and unique ability to sense a training load’s impact on his clients is something that cannot be learned, but rather is inherent in a great coach and representative of his outstanding character as a person.”

“You can tell that Zach is a natural-born leader and very driven to help others. I think one of the best things is that he realizes how different athlete is. Each athlete needs a little something different to be successful – advice, emotional support, race tactics, rest, etc. I think there aren’t many people out there better suited to figure that formula out than Zach. Within minutes of meeting Zach you can tell he’s a “go-getter.” He sets his eyes on a goal, he strategizes how to get there, he works extremely hard, he doesn’t rush things, and he trusts the process.”

“Zach is a fantastic coach as well as a top tier racer. It is obvious that he has a passion for what he does and has the knowledge and real life experience to back up his training plans as well as his advice. As an elite level racer, I take comfort in knowing that not only are his training plans scientifically backed, but also that he is familiar with the races I want to peak for and knows exactly what it takes to perform well when race time comes. He is also very personable, attentive, and easy to reach out to if you have any questions. I would highly recommend Zach to anyone looking to improve their performance not just physically, but also mentally and strategically. “

“Hiring a coach has allowed me to think less and just do the work. I went from spending a lot of time constructing training plans based off of YouTube videos, blog posts, etc. to being able to just hop on the bike, do my workout, and have more faith in the purpose of every workout.”

“Hiring a coach now and in the past affords me a tremendous feeling of freedom to enjoy cycling AND get stronger. In the past, if I am on a specific program, I can get stronger, but will likely not enjoy the sport as much…or I can focus on only having fun with the sport and watch my fitness dwindle. I find a coach bridges the gap of fun and performance.”

“Zach has brought much-needed structure to my riding and taken the guesswork out of my training. It is also great to have feedback about certain sessions and bounce ideas off the coach, particularly when things don’t go to plan, and you need a bit of motivation.”

In the past five years that I’ve known Zach as a friend and coach, I’ve witnessed first-hand how Zach’s knowledge of exercise physiology allowed him to choose the most effective training methods. His attention to detail and concern for others has also helped me get through tough times on (and off) the bike.”
