In a fast-paced world with work, family, friends and not forgetting the training – your plans can change. You try to re-arrange your in-person training session. You realize you cannot rearrange this session because it is the only available time slot for you and your coach. If you were to miss this training session, you would have no session plan to follow as you pay the coach to direct you through your program. Leading to you performing a sub par training session on your own. Spending most of your time deciding on what exercises to do next, never mind the sets, reps, and load. This can be frustrating especially when you have limited time to train.

This is the exact reason why we place our energy into developing our online coaching programs. We want to remove as many obstacles as possible that stop you from being the most consistent, confident, and dominant athlete you have ever been. We simply put you in the driving seat, giving you the control to quickly adjust your session time and keep up with your program. When you go out-of-town for the weekend, your training program goes with you. There are no excuses for you to miss a session.

Traditional in-person coaching involves you meeting with a coach every week, or every two weeks. What ends up happening is that your training lacks the right frequency, volume and intensity required. One training session per week with a coach is simply not enough. For sports performance improvements to occur, you need to place a substantial stimulus on the body at the right time to force the body to adapt. Even if you supplement this session with other group sessions, you will not get the attention required from the coach for you to improve consistently. How do you know that these group sessions have the same training goals as you? Group sessions often lack the quality and focus needed due to the wide range of attendee’s abilities and the coach's attention being spread too thin. Sport performance plateaus [stalls in your progress] is one of the biggest reasons why so many athletes give up on their aspirations and dreams. 

Training consistency is one of the most underrated and undervalued concept in sports performance and athletic development. Our online coaching programs have you working with one of our coaches so you can get the attention and focus you deserve to be a consistent athlete and Xcel. The on-boarding process gives you the opportunity to clearly explain your background, and training and sport performance objectives. This process allows our coaches to get all the relevant information needed to tailor your program to meet your individual needs. If you are worried about your training experience and being new to specific modes of training [e.g. sprinting, running, weights]. Please do not be concerned! Our app allows you to send your coach videos of any exercise that you are struggling with so they can provide you with feedback and tips.
