Background:

I can barely remember a time in my life when I the bicycle was not part of my daily routine. Beginning with a short-lived stint in BMX, I quickly realized that short violent effects on the bike were never going to be my strong suit so I made the switch to the road after just a couple of years. My road career began when I was 15 years old and living in Wichita, KS. and ended up being an amazing journey lasting 27 years and spanning to more than 30 countries. I turned professional in 1991 and was the #1 ranking rider on the U.S. circuit on two occasions, 1992 (age 25) and 2005 (age 38) After 17 years in the pro ranks, I retired from racing the end of the 2007 season with 275 career wins and in 2008 I slid behind the wheel of the Toyota-United team car as a Director Sportif. The team had a very successful season notching up 72 wins for the year.

Let me translate my experience and knowledge to help you maximize your training and racing experience by listening, analyzing, monitoring, and customizing a program for you to reach your cycling goals in 2010 and beyond!

“Scott is a very detail oriented and hands on coach and provides superior quality in his coaching....I was surprised that he knew the weather on my training days before I did, finding that my training was so customized to the area that I train on my Training Peaks Calendar. He caters to my athletic life and carefully considers its impact on my home and work life, vice-versa. Its pretty remarkable how everything just seems so synchronized with weather, work, and my athletic life....I have to admit I enjoy training so much more and feel rested and ready for my work outs day to day, now that Scott is my coach!

"Following open heart surgery in November of 2008, I was unsure if I would be able to return to competitive cycling any time soon. While my doctors were optimistic about me one day being active, the idea of racing again was a "take it as it comes" proposition.

I was introduced to Scott through a mutual acquaintance and must admit that I was initially intimidated to even consider asking such a decorated and accomplished athlete like Scott Moninger to help me get back on the bike and to the starting line.

However, I was overwhelmingly surprised from the first telephone conversation onward how down-to-earth Scott was and how he was genuinely excited to work me back to cycling health. He did make me promise not to die on him during training, however.

With his patience, tremendous knowledge and appreciation for my personal health situation, Scott not only got me back into racing within 3 months of me working with him, but he created a cadre of friends and teammates who questioned whether I really had open heart surgery 8 months prior to finishing a very challenging event.

The elite athletes of any sport don't always make the best coaches. However, Scott shatters that stereotype. His calm demeanor, personal attention, empathy and wealth of training and racing knowledge provide an unparalleled competitive advantage to anyone who works with him. Not to mention, if you have an NRC race on your schedule, Scott likely can help you successfully navigate the course...because he's likely won that race."
