Coaching Testimonials

Testimonials may have been edited for clarity and length.

I had MIKE MCKOVICH working on my racing and training schedule for the past few months. (Since May) It's been priceless. I'm racing strong every Tuesday night in Irvine, a few road races along the way I did really well in (one was 2nd place), and then to get to race leadville on strong and healthy legs was all due to his building me a schedule to work this all out. The types of training days, recovery days and then the guidance/encouragement to train with power - just really changed the way I ride and take on efforts. The stomach bug being a fluke, had that happened to me and I hadn't also followed/learned from Mike. I would not have finished Saturday. Thanks Mike!

I have won 4 series, including the 2008 NMBS, in my 2 years competing with Mike’s help because he is not only helping me with fitness and strength, we are also working on confidence and clearing my mind. I can pull up to the start line confident that I have done all I can and I am prepared. His advice has helped me to grow as an athlete and as a person. I have been trying to absorb as much of Mike’s vast knowledge of cycling and fitness as I can, and that is something you can’t put a value to. I don’t think you will find a coach with Mike’s humor and active dedication; he reads my race reports and responds with support. With Mike I have bounced back from injuries and prevented injuries with his amazing bike fitting knowledge, a service that I recommend to everyone.

I can tell he puts in extra effort, and that is what puts me on the podium.

With Mike's coaching, bike fits, guidance, and support, I am able to train smarter and ride more efficiently. The custom training program and feedback that Mike provides has taken the guesswork out of training. It allows me to concentrate more on work, family, and actually making it to each race with good health, excellent fitness and confidence to win.

"The combined training and coaching program that Mike offers has allowed me to realize my full potential as a XC and endurance mountain bike racer. Not only has the program improved my overall fitness level, it has also improved my understanding of every aspect of training, including nutrition, bike fitting, training, performance testing and recovery. This has allowed me to train smarter and more effectively every day. Mike’s experience as a coach is invaluable as well. He is able to identify weaknesses and build a custom training program that is specific to those needs. The result is that I’ve been on the podium a lot more this year. Thanks for everything, Mike!
