Coaching Philosophy
-
Sustainable Growth. Crystal believes that success is the result of many small, doable things done consistently and well.. The most rewarding part of being an athlete is seeing improvement in fitness, skills, race craft, fueling strategies, and mental practices. Events can provide focus and motivation, but results and accolades are the by-products of consistent, intentional work.
-
Athlete-First Approach. Every coaching relationship starts with understanding you. What motivates you? What do you define as success? How do training and racing fit into your life and priorities? Crystal uses this insight to tailor training that fits seamlessly into your schedule and maximizes your time.
-
Engagement Matters. Crystal thrives on meaningful dialogue with athletes who are curious, invested, and eager to learn. She doesn't offer shortcuts or cookie cutter plans. If your style is "upload and disappear," this isn't the right fit. However, if you want a collaborative, thoughtful, and empowering partnership, you've found the right place.
How She Coaches
-
Personalized Training Design. Training plans are based off of detailed power profiling, goal or event demands, and your individual strengths and limiters.
-
Data-Informed not Data-Obsessed. Power files and wearable metrics (Whoop, CORE, CGMs, etc.) are valuable tools when they are contextualized with athlete feedback and big picture perspective.
-
Whole-Athlete Development. Skill development, fueling strategies, race craft, equipment choices, mental practices, and many other aspects are integral to success. Strength, mobility, and balance work complement on-the-bike work.
-
Real-World Race Prep. With years of experience racing all across the globe, Crystal designs creative, event-specific training blocks to prepare athletes physically and mentally. She knows what it is like to face fear, build confidence, and grow as a rider because she's done it herself, starting in Cat 4 and working her way up to a professional career. She has seen the sport frommany perspectives.
