Path to Pro Coaching

From Committed Junior to Professional Cyclist

Specialized coaching for young athletes chasing UCI contracts and pro careers.

Most coaches will take your money and give you a training plan.

But turning pro isn't just about hitting power numbers. It's about race craft, tactics, recovery management, nutrition timing, mental resilience, and understanding what separates committed amateurs from athletes who get contracts.

Path to Pro is purpose-built for juniors and U23 riders who are serious about making cycling their career - not just a hobby that got out of hand.

What Real Athletes Say:

"The personal treatment from CycleCoach transformed the way I train into a world of scientific workouts. The complete revolution in my training helped me achieve victories in the national championship (2010, 2011) and Volta ciclista Vigo. This season will be my 2nd season with the professional team Amore & Vita, and it's hard to imagine I would have reached this level without CycleCoach."
— Niv Libner, Amore & Vita Pro Team

"After a rough majority of the season, I started with Ric and in just 11 weeks I made massive gains. I set an all-time 5-min power PR and recorded my highest 20-min power in 2½ years. At the end of the season I was feeling a lot stronger in the races. I can't wait to push those numbers up more."
— Ollie Robinson, Continental Pro Team Novapor Speedbike

What Makes Path to Pro Different?

This isn't recreational coaching. It's performance coaching with a singular focus: getting you ready for the professional ranks.

You work exclusively with Ric Stern - He's coached riders onto national programs including GB, Australia, Ireland, and others across multiple countries.. He's taken athletes from local racing to UCI contracts, from junior categories to elite world championships.

Path to Pro includes:

Weekly training plans with pro-level periodisation
Five text chats per week - frequent communication to catch issues early
Unlimited coaching calls (Mon-Fri) - strategy, race debriefs, mental preparation
Unlimited workout analysis - detailed review of every key session
Daily macro nutrition plans - proper fueling for high-performance training
Quarterly physiological testing - track your progression with hard data

Plus: Strength & Conditioning included - essential for durability and power development at the elite level.

The Reality of Going Pro:

Ric's been coaching since 1997 and racing for 42 consecutive seasons. He knows what it takes because he's been in the peloton, he's coached athletes through the transition, and he understands the difference between "fast for a junior" and "fast enough to get signed."

He'll tell you the truth - whether you're on track, what needs to improve, and whether a pro career is realistic given your current trajectory. No BS. Just honest, expert guidance.
