June 11, 2024

June 11, 2024 – Boulder, Colorado, USA /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – TrainingPeaks and Fast Talk Laboratories have partnered to offer two free courses on The Business of Coaching through TrainingPeaks University. Adapted from The Craft of Coaching with Joe Friel, these two online education courses will help coaches to set up and grow their coaching businesses. The two courses are Getting Started with the Business of Coaching and How to Grow Your Coaching Business.

These two courses cover best practices for endurance coaches to build and grow a successful coaching business:

• Which business model is right for you?
• The basics for future growth
• How to hire assistant coaches and staff
• Pricing and how to determine the value of your time
• How to scale your business and become profitable
• Best practices for managing a team of coaches
• 5 non-negotiables to include in every contract

“This partnership bolsters the business education opportunities through TrainingPeaks University,” said Fast Talk Labs CEO Trevor Connor. “Combining our leading content with the user-friendly online education experience at TrainingPeaks University means this partnership will support more coaches as they seek to build successful businesses.”

“When I started TrainingPeaks nearly 25 years ago with my Dad, Joe Friel, and my good friend Gear Fisher, our goal was to make it easier for coaches to do what they love. Today, our commitment remains to help coaches turn their passion into profit, and a big part of that is continuing education,” said Dirk Friel, TrainingPeaks co-founder and Chief Evangelist. “Bringing in some of the business lessons from The Craft of Coaching into TrainingPeaks University further expands our robust catalogue of educational content, and we’re thrilled to offer these two courses free to all endurance coaches.”

Both courses are now free through TrainingPeaks University. To enroll, sign in or create your TrainingPeaks University account.
