3 Easy Ways to Smash Your MTB Coaching Session
How to Get the Most Out of Your MTB Coaching
Thinking about trying MTB coaching? Good shout. Whether you’re totally new to the trails or just want to sharpen your skills, coaching can seriously boost your riding—and your confidence.
But to really get the most out of it, a bit of prep goes a long way. Here are 3 simple tips to help you make the most of your experience:
1. Know What You Want to Work On
Before you sign up, take a moment to figure out what you'd like to get out of the session. Want to feel more confident riding singletrack? Keen to finally master corners or roots? Knowing your goal helps you (and your coach) get the most from your time.
If you're looking for more confidence in general, we highly recommend starting with a ladies-only beginner course. There's something truly magical about riding with other women—zero judgement, loads of support, and a real boost to your confidence.
2. Research Your Coaches
Not all coaching sessions are created equal, so do a bit of digging. Look for someone who makes you feel safe, supported, and challenged at the right level.
We recommend Clancy Briggs if you're in or around Nottingham. We’ve partnered with them on ladies-only coaching days and love how welcoming and encouraging their team is. As a bonus, Trail Bloom riders get 15% off women’s coaching with them this summer use code TB2515
3. Practice Afterwards
Coaching gives you the tools—but it’s regular practice that makes the changes stick. Try and head out soon after your session to go over what you learned. Ride with a friend, revisit the same trails, or jot down a few notes you can refer back to.
Progress happens when you take those small, steady steps—and celebrate each win along the way.
