On February 4, 2022, USA Cycling hosted its 2022 Coaching Summit at the Fast Talk Laboratories headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. Coach Joe Friel was the keynote speaker.
Joe Friel, Coach and Creator of The Craft of Coaching
In his keynote presentation for USA Cycling coaches, Friel shares the core themes of his new online learning experience, The Craft of Coaching: how to become a good, successful, and happy coach. While this topic sounds simple, a balanced pursuit of these three distinct goals is a fundamental challenge to coaching and one that is a struggle for many. Drawing from his 40-year career, Friel explores the inherent tensions and priorities of coaching and shares the lessons he has learned about the coach’s relationship with the athlete, the sport, and the business of coaching.
The Craft of Coaching is the featured online learning experience now available to all active USA Cycling licensed coaches through partnership with Fast Talk Laboratories.
