Background:

Jim Glover was the first N.C.C.P. certified level lll road and track cycling coach in Ontario,Canada (1995)

Jim Glover is also leading the way by being the first Chartered Professional Coach (cycling) in Ontario ( 2006) In Canada, this is the coaching expertise level for Olympic coaches.

He has also coached RAAM winners, and the first Canadian to finish RAAM. Jim has coached Paralympians and athletes in the Transplant Games as well. Jim has also helped a rider achieve his goal to ride across Canada ocean to ocean. I have been very happy to have coached the most improved female athlete award winner, for the Women’s only Time Trial series in Ottawa, the last three years in a row.

I love the feeling of helping my athletes achieve goals they thought impossible. It doesn’t matter to me if it's a beginner’s first race,or World Record.

Testimonials

"Four years of training with Jim have been tremendously helpful. I am a master level cyclist who competes in time trials. 
Under Jim's helpful tutelage, my performances have steadily improved. I am now consistently achieving personal best 
results. Jim has a solid understanding of how to approach time trials both in terms of the training required and the 
techniques to use during a race. I have learned how to effectively use indicators like heat rate and power, and how to 
manage my effort throughout a time trial. The best outcome of Jim's coaching has been improved confidence and enjoyment 
of my sport." 


“Jim Glover brings dedication, enthusiasm and broad experience to his coaching practice. I benefited greatly from 
Jim’s advice and technical skills as I prepared for my recent and successful master’s hour record performance.” 


"I have enjoyed a great coaching experience with Jim. He has enabled me to understand my strengths and weaknesses (I never would have believed I could sprint before working with him), and to gradually increase my endurance, skills and confidence level. He has provided me with the tools that have enabled me to actually learn to train, to understand the purpose of the different components of an exercise program, and to balance my "real-life" responsibilities with cycling. I could cite many examples of improvement under his tutelage, but the most salient is my time-trialing ability: on a weekly 15 km local series, I have been able to go from an average speed of 39 to 44 km/h. I couldn't have done it without Jim's expertise and support."
