I’m a 55 year-old time crunched professional who has been an avid cyclist for 15 years. I’ve never raced, but I’ve always enjoyed the training process as a means to continuously strive for self-improvement. I first started “riding” with power in 2014. In 2016 I dived headfirst into a dedicated 2 year stint with one of the more popular on-line self-directed structured training platforms, from which I saw significant fitness gains and all-time peak performances.

I met Coach Patrick by chance on a group ride in Dec. 2017. Knowing only that he coached some of the riders in the group, I casually remarked to him after the ride that I felt I had plateaued (Narrator: Patrick never let him forget that comment :). He offered to analyze my files for free and set up a phone consultation to review his findings without obligation. He told me at age 52 that I was far from plateauing, and that I had too much fluff in my training.

I decided to hire him in January 2018, and it was without a doubt the best decision in cycling I’ve ever made. In that first year I set all of my all-time PR’s in every time duration from 5 minutes to 2 hours, all with an average training volume of 6-10 hours a week. But I gained much much more than PR’s. Look….you can hire anyone to write you a cookie cutter plan, but what you get with being a Pinnacle athlete is a coach who is genuinely personally invested in your goals and successes, which he proves continuously with encouraging calls, texts, and workout comments.

Coach Patrick uses state-of-the-art analytics to guide your training prescription, and because he “walks the walk”, he is keenly aware of and compassionate towards the life-training balance we all struggle to master.

Finally, and this is the key to this whole game, and what sets Coach Patrick apart: he will teach you the proper mental framework for success and the art of managing the load in a way that is customized to your strengths, and more importantly, weaknesses. Although I live 100 miles away, I have done many knee-to-knee training rides with Coach Patrick, from which I have absorbed valuable lessons each time.

He continues to polish and refine my skills and mindset, and I am still at age 55 not plateauing, and doing things on the bike I’ve never accomplished before. In the process I have gained an invaluable friend and mentor.

If you’re interested in becoming fitter, faster, and mentally stronger, there is no better bang for the buck than Pinnacle Coaching Services.

A good coach improves your ‘game.’ A great coach improves your life. Sign on with Patrick Sansbury, and you just might get more than you bargained for! He is a coach that believes in the abilities of his athletes, more than they do at times. His philosophy is to live in the process while helping us to attain our goals. The unforeseen bonus is that the process changes YOU for the better along the way.

With a forthright style coated in genuine affection for his athletes, Patrick is unparalleled in his knowledge of training with power and is like a surgeon in the precision of the training plans he creates for your individual needs. My initial goals of understanding training with power, increasing my speed and power on the bike, and becoming a smarter racer were met and exceeded.

After being hit by a car in 2016 and being blessed to be alive, Patrick said you will come back even stronger. And this I did. A coach and athlete team is a powerful force. Trust the process. Do the work. If you have what it takes to be committed to a plan even when it sucks, then this man will get you where you want to go. Think of what you would like to achieve, and he will provide the path to get you there.

I still can’t believe it … I’m a  USA National Champion but my coach Patrick at pinnacle coaching always did. This has been a two-year focus adding half a dozen state titles and the fastest time trial posted in all categories this year.

I’m a long-time cyclist; and although I’ve been successful, I have also been unpredictable. Pinnacle coaching provided me with the structure, discipline, and realistic profile of my capabilities. With that structure came a new sense of awareness that has changed me in profound ways.

It has transcended physically, psychologically and in a spiritual strength. Having have had many coaches over the years I feel a sense of gratitude in the professionalism and  invested approach provided.

The biggest lessons I’ve learned was how to be consistent and it paid off with a GC win — something I’ve never done before …
