I'm not going to make reviews of coaches here on Training4cyclists.com, but maybe I should make a list with things to consider when hiring a cycling coach. Jesper Emil, thanks for commenting.

Had a I had a good coach this past season, that helped me 1%, I would have way more podium finishes. With this season ending, I'm thinking again to hire the coach. This is the right time . But there are a lot of bareers and questions. Should it be local coach? Local coach is familiar with the local scene, local races etc. Internet coach? They are typically 'data' oriented, FTP, TSS etc, but racing is way more then that. Will the coach be a right personality match? There is a lot of psychology in coaching, I'm sure you know. It would be nice to have some way of getting coach reviews. Kind of one of those matchmaking services, only for athletes and coaches :) To me all this questions and many others typically result in paralysis and yet another year without a coach. From this you probably understood that my past coach experiences are not exactly positive. It would be great to have a good coach though. emil Hi Jesper,
