Frequently Asked Questions

Does MEC work with all levels of athletes and coaches?

 

Yes! Marc Evans enjoys coaching enhancements with every level of athletes and coaches; Beginners, recreational, competitive, elite, professional athletes and coaches.

 

Every individual is welcome and treated with that same dedication and coaching:

 

  • Triathletes, swimmers, cyclists, runners, endurance athletes
  • You are a self-coached athlete
  • Working with a coach
  • You are a coach and want to refer your athletes for movement and technique
  • You are a coach and want to improve assessment and teaching competencies

 

What is the coaching like?

 

Your Training Enhancement with MEC begins by completing an extensive athlete history, medical profile and goal questionnaire.

 

Next, a foundational movement assessment is performed consisting of: flexibility, mobility, stability, posture and corrective exercise remedies. The assessment provides the pathway for improved performance, reduced injury and in many instances, logical and productive answers to long-term chronic injury.

 

Following your movement assessment, the focus then becomes the teaching of technique and skills to learn better movements. Swimming, cycling and/or running are taught through easy to understand body-line checkpoints that improve performance efficiency.

 

To finish, your technique is evaluated and world-class corrections and progressions are provided.

 

All of the above is videotaped and a comprehensive written assessment provided to the athlete and coach.

 

Where are the coaching facilities?

 

Gardnerville, Nevada is on the Northern California/Nevada border and 25 minutes from Lake Tahoe and less than 1 hour by car from Reno-Tahoe International Airport.

 

Gardnerville is 3.5-4 hours by car from the San Francisco Bay Area along beautiful Highway 50.

 

What “shape” should I be in before an assessment of movement, technique or full day Training Enhancement?

 

Your Training Enhancement does not require you to be in top form. The sessions are low intensity with the focus upon assessment of movement function, stability, mobility and technique. Fitness shape is not important and will have no impact upon your coaching.

 

How much lead time for appointments?

 

Generally, appointments can be made less than two weeks for 1-on-1 Training Enhancements.

 

Training Enhancements are available 7 days a week by appointment.

 

Can my coach or another person observe my 1-on-1 Training Enhancement?

 

Yes, however they remain in the background during the assessment and Training Enhancement.

 

Many coaches refer clients to MEC for Training Enhancements. MEC welcomes coaches to enroll in our Coaching Partner Referral Program.

 

Our goal is to be an open, impartial and welcoming resource for coaches to help referred athletes to better perform the techniques taught by coaches.

 

How many athletes can be coached?

 

The Training Enhancements are 1-on-1 sessions. However, more than one person can attend, but the assessments are done separately. Once the assessments and individual technique are completed, the sessions can be merged into small group workout and technique training.
