At Hopper Sports Performance, I believe that all athletes should have the best coaching resources available to match their individual needs, irrespective of an athlete’s ability. Unlike many coaching companies, I don’t offer a number of generic coaching packages/levels. I offer a complete high-end, highly individualised service to everyone to help ensure they are able to reach their highest potential around their current life situations. Coaching is currently only offered to a limited number of athletes at one time to ensure that the maximum level of service can be provided to the individual. Some of the services provided include:

- Season planing and race selection.
- full Race Planning and Analysis package for targeted goal races.
- Regular catch-ups, ether in person or via Skype, on an as needs bases.
- Daily training file reviews and feedback.
- Unlimited changes to a training plan as required based on your current circumstances.
