Rich Strauss at cruciblefitness.com has a complete tier of service from standard programs to very customized advanced personalized coaching. Look at his website for all tiers of coaching...I'm using a standard plan but he has personal coaching also....

I'm coach-shopping too - if you look on the next page, I posted a thread titled "How much...." yesterday that addresses the $$$ issue.

Hello lschmidt,
Saw your post while looking for interesting news in the forum...I'm a USAT coach and recently moved from CO to WA to open a tri-camp and coaching business in conjunction with a wellness focused B&B. I'd be happy exchange email if you have any questions about finding a coach...don't worry, no pressure. There are lots of good coaches out there. I offer three coaching options and we also hold training camps at our place on Whidbey Island in WA. My web portal is www.wildeberry.com (...heads up though, I'm still working on it). Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

I've been using Francois Modave for 6 + months. Great results so far. After my May crash and visit to the ICU, and being unable to swim, ride on the road or run for 6+ weeks, I won my AG at the Kahuna (1st HIM), won a local OLy (with a PR) took second at SOMA (HIM) losing in transition. His biggest strengths are run and bike both coaching and competitively, as far as I can tell. PM him <Francois>

I have to agree with jonnyo on this one and give a recomendation to go with Paulo. When Paulo started coaching me a year and a half ago I was 21 and although I was strong in one sport (running) I was pretty weak in the other two. However, I have seen huge improvements in my biking and swimming and have even gained some fitness on the run. Paulo does a great job personalizing schedules and assigning the right kind of training to make YOU the fastest you can be in your 'A' race. In this way the schedules are both catered to your strengths and weaknesses as an athlete and towards the race you want to do well in (IM vs sprint). Let me know if you have any questions and good luck with your search.

Read through this thread carefully:

There are several good recommendations, and one that I am very partial to.

I can only speak from my own personal experience.
I'm 22... I've been training for a year now with Kurt Perham. I've had a really amazing experience so far... Wasn't really any kind of an athlete before 2 years ago... I rock climbed before then and climbing competitions were about the extent of my outdoorness.... before that I was a math geek. So far I've put in the work and have seen really good result. Have took top 5 (20-24) in some good size races... I've also got some really good results in the cyclocross circuit here in the Mid Atlantic (and was able to upgrade).
I'd give him a shout... or check out his website: http://www.pbmcoaching.com/ ..... he also post alot here under Trukweaz. Some of the New Englanders know him.
My only recommendation is to find someone who can relate to. Good coaches are hard to come. If a coach knows all the data in the world it won;t do much good if he can't push his/her athlete to take risks and use the knowledge they may have... good luck in the search.

Let me know what make you think from my website that I am an awesome athlete, I'll edit those parts out. As for helping an undergrad with homework, the price is +5k/month and a tenure-track position.

You've had many good suggestions.
I would ask what are your goals? I think every coach feels that he has something special to offer his athlete. You should try to match your goals and proposed areas of improvement to a coach he feels particularly good in that area.
Finally, what are you able to afford? That is equally important.
Best of luck. You have a great background to succeed in the sport. Find a mentor that can help you achieve your potential.

I have been using Vision Quest Coaching since September and I have been really happy with them. They are located in Chicago and have rides all the time right on the Illinois Wisconsin border. All their programs are customized. The owner and head cycling coach is Robbie Ventura who is an x Postal Service rider. All the tri coaches have been in the sport for a long time and are extremely knowledgable.

If you count the coaches that are full/unavailable from that list that will recommend me, I win by a landslide ;-)

Lschmidt,
I would agree with Dr. J for the most part, however I would also add that it's important to find a coach that matches your personality and philosophy.
When it all comes down to it, one of the most important things is that you believe that if you follow your coaches plan that you will get the results that you want. That is a big question, what's it going to take for you to believe? Scientific justification? Proven results from his/her athletes? Proven personal results? Enough personal contact that you feel that he/she knows you? etc.
I would recommend searching some previous posts of the coaches you mentioned above. You will get a good feel for their personality and philosophy from that and be in a better position to determine who meshes best with your own personality and training philosophy.
IMHO, it is far too important a decision to be determined by a popularity contest.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Alan.
