Coaching Excellence Initiative

In our 15th season, GVYC launched the Coaching Excellence Initiative to develop more coaches, provide ongoing professional training, and keep raising the quality of our programs.

Professional development: small-group sessions with leading mountain bike instructors, with demos, practice and Q&A across a range of skills and disciplines.
Medical training: coaches are often first responders on the trail, so every GVYC coach meets one consistent safety-training standard.
Measuring success: we track certifications, training hours and coach retention so every rider is coached by a trained, certified coach.
