What a treat. To have Laura agree to be my coach and take on such an emotional athlete. I think I'm getting the better part of this deal. We met today for our official start of coaching and the 2007 road racing season. I'm looking forward to learning all new stuff about women's cycling, including training, resting, eating, racing, psychology, and equipment. She asked me a ton of questions about my past, present and future. The other bonus is that she's a few years younger than I am but in her forties, she understands a women's body and a premenopausal body. Again, I've got a good deal with her. I've asked around and she has a very strong reputation as an athlete, coach, and community leader. She heads a nonprofit children's cycling team called Team Swift out of Santa Rosa. Her boyfriend is team director for BMC in Marin. |
