THE VELOWORLD
DEVELOPMENT
PYRAMID.

Five levels. A structured path from first trail to national start line.

(01) THE APPROACH

ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT
IS THE GOAL. RACE RESULTS
ARE THE EVIDENCE.

Coaching an athlete to achieve a particular race result is a short-term approach, and it is not sustainable. Push a thirteen-year-old hard enough and you will get a result this season. You will also, very often, lose the rider by seventeen.

​

So, we coach the athlete, not the season. Every rider is assessed and placed at the correct level of the Development Pyramid. They progress when they are ready - physically, technically and mentally - and each level has its own goals, its own session structure and its own definition of success. The results follow.

"
We protect long-term potential. No shortcuts. No burnout. Just growth.

(02) THE DEVELOPMENT PYRAMID

FIVE LEVELS

(03) ASSESSMENT

IT STARTS WITH
AN ASSESSMENT.

01: ASSESS

A single session with a Veloworld Coach. Fitness, skills, handling, history and goals.

02: PLACE

You are placed at the correct level of the Development Pyramid. Not the level you'd like to be at. The level you're at.

03: PLAN

Individual development goals, a schedule, and a training plan in the coaching app. Then we start.

Before we coach you, we assess you: physical baseline, bike handling, technical skill, riding history and, most importantly, what you really want from the sport. It takes one session. You leave with an honest picture of where you are, and what the next twelve months could look like.

04: DEVELOP

Your journey. Your goals. Your growth.

(05) PACE ASSESSMENT · MENTAL PERFORMANCE

THE HALF OF TRAINING NOBODY MEASURES.

PACE is a psychometric assessment that profiles an athlete across thirteen mental performance dimensions and maps the result against norm groups, including elite athletes. It turns “she loses concentration in the last lap” into something you can see, target and train.
