COACHING PHILOSOPHY

MY APPROACH TO COACHING.

What I believe makes an athlete successful is to create a partnership that states the athlete’s commitments that give direction and goals that are specific and measurable and each of our roles to fulfill on what's possible. I create with the athlete the importance of communication and connection. Data tells a story at a point in time, and the communication from the athlete completes that story. During our time working together, I am committed that the athlete discover something new and surprising about themselves. It's always an honor and privilege to learn together. 

THE FULL STORY

ABOUT ME AS A COACH.

I have been training nonstop since high school. I played tennis for high school and at the collegiate level. From tennis, I began training for triathlons. I have done several Half Ironman Triathlons and two full Ironmans. In the last ten years, I have been concentrating my time on performance cycling. 


I have participated in 24-hour TT championships 2-person team, HOODOO500 2-person team, Race Across The West 4-person 60+ team and Sea Otter Circuit Race and Road Race. I am also an accredited mental performance and transformational coach.

IN THEIR WORDS

ATHLETES ON COACH LIZ

Working with Liz has been wonderful. She is an experienced athlete and knowledgeable trainer, well-versed in the philosophy and science of BaseCamp training. My cycling abilities have improved, both physically and psychologically. Sometimes the training bloc progression feels slow; Liz's attention to my data and how I feel keeps me training where I am and what I'm aiming for. It's also fun to chat with Liz about pro cycling; from the classics to the tours, she's well-versed.  - Stacey S.


Liz is the absolute BEST!!! A perfect fit for me and I couldn’t be happier.  - Frankie H.


I couldn't ask for a better coach! Liz celebrates my successes and is ever patient when my train jumps the tracks in frustration. Her patience and positive way of reframing cognitive distortion when I'm down on myself or chasing numbers is empowering. She coaches what she lives leading by example, she is an amazing athlete always willing to share her gift to improve my cycling journey. I am so incredibly lucky to be one of Liz's athletes.  - Nancy M.


Liz is awesome, feel pretty lucky to be working with her. I'm not winning any races soon, but I am making significant progress. Liz is energetic, knowledgeable and makes me feel like an athlete.  - Greg E.


One of the things I really appreciate is that she frequently looks over my workout execution / notes and provides immediate useful feedback via training peaks. (Sometimes it's observations about the execution, sometimes it's suggestions for upcoming workouts in response to that one...) I really appreciate the feedback and notes. It really helps me learn from the workouts. More than once she's noticed something key that I didn't!  - Jessie D.


Coach Liz is a gem! She's so easy to work with her: she's funny, she's kind, she's empathetic, and she's whip smart. After years of managing my own training with okay results, I finally decided to invest in a coach. In the three short months that we've been working together it's made such a big difference. Whether I have a planned vacation to work around, or a last minute change, Coach Liz is quick to adapt my training schedule. I don't have to worry about the day-to-day details, the data analysis, or the long view. I know that if I do the work she prescribes, I will improve. Coach Liz checks in with me frequently to ensure that I'm doing well. We talk frequently and she's always available by text. We discuss my goals, both big and small, and look at specific actions to achieve those goals. We examine my limiters and how we can make improvements, and we discuss how to capitalize on my strengths....I think my favorite part of our relationship is that I can lean on Liz. I don't have to mange my training, because she's watching over all aspects of the planning and my adaptations. I just have to do the work. I no longer have to second guess myself and wonder if my training is appropriate for me. Liz is quick to intuit if something is off with me. If my internal voice is unhappy with a recent workout performance, she's there to put things in perspective and help me reframe. Cycling can be lonely at times, but knowing Liz has my back makes it less so. 

She’s a terrific coach, and I love that she's also my friend.  - Susan G.


I have been working with Liz Inglese as my coach for almost 4 months now. As a 60-year-old lady who is relatively new to cycling (less than 3 years), my goals have been to increase power, prepare for a series of events (including 2 gran fondos), and try to up my speed a bit. Liz is helping me achieve all of these goals: she has designed spot-on training sessions and has been very interactive via TrainingPeaks and Zoom meetings. I highly recommend her! Looking forward to attending the Mallorca trip next year!  - Stacey P. 


Liz is an amazing coach. She reminds me, and encourages me to be on my best growing edge and she sets up my workouts and our review/check in zoom calls so that I achieve (and adjust as needed) my short and long term goals. She is creative in the way she designs “what’s next.” It’s fun, grounding, and an intelligent coaching experience - and challenges me to grow and succeed.   - Kathy L.
