USAC Level 1 Coaches Clinic

We spent a week in Colorado Springs and in that time completed the 30+ hours of training at the USAC headquarters. After 5 years as a level 2, over 250 CEU's, and now this, I'm one of just two level 1 coaches in Ohio and about 250 nationwide. We covered a lot of gorund in the clinic but a couple of key points would be.... keep training year-round with some breaks (days here and there, light weeks here and there) but no reason not to keep the intervals going, if scheduled properly strength training seems to be more accepted among the coaches and more a matter of how to fit it into schedules in a case study, our group of nine had a hard tiem agreeing on how to best train a rider but we did come to general agreements on the training, some groups did not linear, non-linear or block training: which is best? which do we actually use? seems like a hybrid non-linear/block works for me and most of my clients but it all depends on what their goals are and where they are coming from
