Clinics

Over the past six years, SportVelo has led a range of clinics including basic skills for beginning triathletes and sprinting for criterium specialists. The combination of Dan's vast knowledge base and his personable teaching style—with his many anecdotes, analogies, and demonstrations—offers the athletes the chance to master new skills.

The beginner level clinics cover cycling fundamentals, such as position on the bike, braking, cornering, drills practice, and group ride etiquette. More advanced levels cover a range of skills, such as sprinting, descending, pacelining, race tactics, and time trialing.

Individual skills

Just as he presents skills to groups, Dan also gives one-on-one sessions to individual athletes who want to focus on a specific skill, such a sprinting, descending, or climbing. Each session is customized to the athlete's skill level and rate of learning. Every athlete learns new skills a little differently, and Dan understands how to best communicate his knowledge so that the athlete improves. The most rewarding payoff for a coach is to see an athlete master a new skill, and Dan has the opportunity to see many of his athletes succeed.

Team coaching

Dan coaches cycling teams in the Bay Area, so that they have the benefit of clinics, training camps, personal coaching, and strategy sessions. Additionally, he attends targeted races for the team to offer help with pre- and post-race protocol, strategy, and post-race assessment.
