Individual Coaching Programs 
We offer three coaching programs with varying levels of communication, training adjustments, data analysis and coach interaction to help you achieve your goals. 

Introduction

The quality of the coach-athlete relationship is paramount.  Through our coaching and support staff, iCAN athletes have access to Art and Science training methodologies including scientific training parameters demonstrated to enhance individual performance.  Not all youth athletes require individualized training plans.  In the development of an athlete from youth to elite, the athlete passes through many phases of development.   When considering a training plan for youth there are many considerations including, chronological age, developmental age (physical, mental and emotional), general training age and sport specific training age.  It’s also necessary to consider the sport specific engagement, skill level, experience, and goals (short and long term) of the individual athlete.  

What is an individual Training Plan?
An individual training plan is the combination of the art and scientific process of planning and periodization (training, nutrition, rest and testing).  We take the goals and objectives of the athlete and develop a comprehensive training plan (TP) which is periodized to meet the athlete’s performance objectives.  This plan incorporates scientific testing protocols necessary to establish the athlete’s initial bio markers and periodic testing to monitor the athlete’s improvements in performance.  

When do I need an individual Training Plan?
When a youth athlete becomes committed to the sport and begins to develop specific goals and objectives the training should become more specialized.  Upon initial consultation with the parent and athlete, the athlete may be asked to complete an Athlete Assessment.  This will address and determine the athlete's specific training plan requirements. The training plan is designed to give the athlete the best opportunity to realize their training, racing and performance goals while providing scientific information to track, evaluate, and quantify the athlete’s progress and performance.  Training plans are prepared using state-of-the-art software from Training Peaks.  The training plan can be integrated with a school sport/s if the athlete is a student.

How does it work?
Step 1:  Schedule a meeting with the Lead Coach to discuss athlete’s goals, needs and expectations.
Step 2:  Complete an Athlete Assessment.
Step 3:  Review Athlete Assessment and establish a realistic plan. 
Step 4:  Complete administrative paperwork. 

Step 5:  Remit fees for start-up.
