Coaching is about helping athletes learn about themselves and what brings out their best performance. It’s a process of learning athletes’ abilities, needs, motivation, and skills.  The coach helps make decisions to guide programming.   Programming involves designing training schemes meant to challenge the body to adapt and improve over time.  

Athletes that achieve their potential learn to listen to their body and learn what works for them.  A coach is there to help them figure that out. A coach is most valuable when you engage their experience and decision making in determining the direction of your training and how to listen to your body.  The MelRad coaching menu here breaks down how much coaching you want to engage in.

Every program is built based on extensive coaching experience and is designed to bring the best out of every athlete.  The difference lies in how often you want to offload or share decision making with a coach, how much time you want to invest in communication with Melanie figuring out what is best for you and how much customization of your program you want and need.
