Dave Schell has been coaching athletes since 2010, and his business, Kaizen Endurance, is primarily focused on off-road cycling—mountain bike, gravel, and some cyclocross—with an emphasis on ultra-endurance. He works with 25 to 35 athletes at a time, many of whom are remote and international.
Formerly the Director of Education at TrainingPeaks, Schell spent several years traveling the world with Joe Friel, teaching coaches how to use data to plan, analyze, and track performance of athletes at all levels across an array of endurance goals. He remains committed to keeping up with the latest science and tools in his coaching, but he also emphasizes the importance of the mind-body connection with his athletes.
