Jeff Vivo - Two-Time State Champion
Jeff Vivo
I am a former Collegiate swimmer and have had more coaches than I care to count. Patrick is the best coach I have ever had in any sports.I began to race my bike at around 24 years old, and up until this date I have had multiple cycling coaches. When I started to train with Patrick he assesed what my strengths and weaknesses and built a plan from there.
I came to Patrick out of frustration. I was riding 20 hours per week, but was getting dropped in Cat. 3 races. Patrick immediately cut my hours to a manageable 10-12 hours, and began having me ride in meaninful power zones. I came to Patrick with a 20 minute FTP of around 297 watts. Within a years span, we have been able to raise that to 350 watts. As a result of this progress, I was able to get 2nd at the Florida State Crtiterium championship. Their is no cookie cutter training plan, and Patrick adjusts my plan to take into account real life stressers outside of cycling.
Patrick's knowledge does not stop at his rainman-like ability to analyze data, he is also an excellent race tactician. Patrick will frequently give me tips and pointers regarding different race courses from first hand knowledge. With that knowledge, he is able to isolate my specific strengths with training data to develop a race strategy that hedges my bets in order to obtain results.
When I pin on a number, I know I have an edge on my competition. To date, no race has been harder than some of the workouts Patrick has me do.
My formula for success is simple. (Patrick plan) + (Following it to the letter) = huge gains.
