Initial Zoom Consultations:
Upon your initial contact with our admin team a detailed athlete questionnaire will be sent out for you to complete and return. Matt will then review and see which of our dedicated Triathlon Coaches would work best with you. Then your consultation will be with that coach to discuss everything in more detail over zoom. Then if you are happy coaching can commence. Wherever you live in the world, our remote triathlon coaching is available to you.

Coached Athlete Testimonial
"The best Triathlon related decision i've ever made"
So after the 2022 season, I found myself considering getting a one-to-one coach. I reached out to Matt alongside a few other coaches to discuss the possibilities of joining their programs. As I already had an existing relationship with Matt, the discussion flowed nicely right from the off and yet again, the level of professionalism and detail really made decision an easy one. Matt suggested to me who he believed would be the best fit in terms of his coaches and set up a zoom call, and this was the beginning of a great coach athlete relationship between me and Tom Davis.
It was no surprise to me that this selection quickly proved to be a masterstroke from Matt. We both shared similar journeys through our early years including both playing water polo as a high-level, swimming backgrounds Unfortunately, this for me was where the similarities end.
Ultimately, the decision to go one-to-one coached for me was about trying to maximise my potential, but also believe my weak spot was, and has always been my bike so why not sign up with one of the very best in the world let alone the country. The balance of attention to detail coupled with a friendly relaxed atmosphere has always been one of the main attractions for me when it comes to Matt Bottrill Performance Coaching (MBPC). From the very first meeting this was evident, from sitting on my bike and Matt and me spending half an hour discussing our recent trips to Disneyland Orlando to more recently, the support I’ve received after going through some challenging personal circumstances. The level of commitment of Matt and his team coaches to their athletes is simply top class that has been many occasions recently where I have champions MBPC to fellow athletes. Encourage them to get in touch, whether that be for a bike fit or to potentially look at the coaching option, and I will continue to do this for many years to come. Hopefully I will continue to be part of Team Bottrill as we have many goals and aspirations to fulfil. However, the results and progress I made in year one talk for themselves. MBPC not only offers a high calibre of coaching but also a friendly and supportive network that is truly kept me motivated and wanting to stay in triathlon for many years to come.
Fill in the form to start your coaching journey!

"As a Profesional Triathlete for the last 20 years it was amazing to work with Matt as my bike coach for the last two seasons.
His meticulous attention to detail on every session form easy spins to the work outs that win races is just first class. Matts communication is second to none with me too, getting the bigger picture of your athletes is an integral part of coaching and I love his approach to this area of our relationship. I truly believe Matt is one of the best bike coaches in the world. If you are looking to improve as a world class cyclist or just to be the beat all your training mates I would highly recommend working with Matt."

"Working with Matt is the best thing I have done during my triathlon career. He has taken my biking to a whole new level, improved my position, and made me train and race smarter. Matt really takes into account my other training, and makes sure everything is well balanced. To top it off, Matt is also a super guy and great fun to work with."

Why do I need a Coach?A cycling coach (or triathlon coach) will set a training plan that will enable a rider to meet the specific demands of their chosen event and help them to achieve that goal. But our coaching goes much further than that. Our coaches will work to identify strengths and weaknesses of an individual rider and will help the rider to make the most of their strengths and improve their weaknesses. We develop unique relationships with our riders in order to understand what drives them, to keep them motivated. By developing this relationship a coach will not want to let down their riders down and in return, the riders will not want to let their coach down; this drives both to succeed. Coaches at Matt Bottrill Performance Coaching not only have the experience and expertise to understand the specific training a rider needs to achieve their goals but we also understand the importance of the rider/coach relationship. Training plans are written specifically for each individual and are highly flexible. Our coaches understand the various challenges that life throws at everyone and we help riders to make the best use of their time, no matter what the circumstances. You don't need endless training hours to be a good rider; you need a good coach who helps you to train smart in the time you have available.

I have contacted you about coaching - what happens next?Once you have made the initial contact through the website, we will send you a detailed questionnaire that you need to complete and return to us for our head coach, Matt Bottrill, to review. Once this has been returned to us, we will contact to let you know the options we can offer and which coach would be best suited to your needs.

I am a triathlete - can you help me?Yes! At Matt Bottrill Performance Coaching we see the bike split of a triathlon as pretty much the same as a time trial. Our coaches are all experienced time triallists and some have the added advantage of being triathletes. This means they fully understand the demands of the event and can train triathletes to ride the bike split in the same way as a time trial, producing much improved times and better overall results. Matt has coached Timo Bracht and several other triathletes are also signed up. In 2016 Matt Bottrill Performance Coaching hopes to offer an Iron Man qualified coach who will be able to write training plans for all three disciplines of middle and long distance triathlons.
-
Who will I be coached by?We have nine coaches in our company including Matt. You can see our coaches’ full details on the website. All coaches’ are fully compliant with our training techniques and have a unique insight into Matt’s individual training systems and methods. All coaches are exceptionally dedicated to the sport and will share their training experiences with coached riders to help them reach that next level. Once we have received your questionnaire and Matt has reviewed it, you will then be contacted with options that are available to you. If there is a specific coach that you would like to work with, please state this and we will let you know if there is a waiting list for that particular coach. We do limit our spaces for each coach as we pride ourselves on giving our riders the best possible support out there.

What is included in my package?Each coaching package is bespoke to work around the individual’s needs, work and family commitments and training time available per week.
