In-Season Coaching Options
We offer two ways to work with us during the high school season. Read more below to select the option that is best for you.
Full In-Season CoachinG
-
Full In-Season Coaching is us running the whole show during your season, fully customized training built around your schedule and goals, an extension of your summer or winter training with us. We help build the plan for the season and we're with you every step of the way — weekly work on mental performance and race strategy, tailored to each race.
-
It's for the athlete who wants one complete system under one roof. Since we'd be writing your training, your high school coach's approval is required, and we highly encourage their involvement in the process. To sign up, you must complete a winter or summer training program with us first.
-
A conversation with your school coach is the first step. Full In-Season Coaching only moves forward when everyone agrees it's the best option for the athlete, we won't work with an athlete during the season without their coach's approval.
From there, it builds on a winter or summer ‘base season’ package with us: you keep all the benefits of that package, plus the race support that comes with in-season coaching, season planning around a goal meet, weekly mental performance, and race strategy work tailored to each race.

Season Planning & Goal Setting
Before the season starts, we sit down and map out your races — typically working backwards from a championship race, then picking the key races that build toward it. We adjust as needed throughout the season, always with the championship in mind. Goal setting is also a season long process, starting with performance and process goal setting in the pre-season.
Mental Performance Insights & Race Strategy
Through 1:1 pre- and post-race calls, we build race plans tailored to the course, the competition, and the moment — each one specific to the individual. Combined with that race strategy, we dive deeper: managing expectations, handling nerves and pressure, blocking out comparison, and building real confidence. By creating personal relationships, we are able to identify important areas of focus for each athlete’s mental game, helping them work towards bettering themselves as athletes and people.
In-Season Support
-
In-Season Support is us coaching you through your season — everything except the workouts. It's a way for athletes to go deeper, with specific, individual guidance on the parts of racing that get lost in a big team setting. High school coaches are managing dozens of athletes, and there's only so much one-on-one attention to go around — so we guide race planning, mental performance, and strategy decisions, giving athletes a high level coach in their corner for the details that decide races.
-
It's for two kinds of athletes: those who would prefer full coaching but aren't able to do it, and those whose school coach already covers their training fully but who want that extra level of guidance and support. To sign up, you must complete a winter or summer training program with us first.
-
When you opt into In-Season Support, we help bridge the transition into the athlete’s high school training by giving the athlete’s school coach as much information as possible.
From there, we start by looking at the season schedule with the athlete. We work around the athlete’s schedule to find times to connect for a call before and after each competition.
At Seek Athletics, we prepare to the highest degree. We research the competition, course, conditions, and then, through the personal relationship we’ve built with each athlete, tie in relevant mental performance topics, race strategy decisions, and afterwards a debrief of each race. This allows the athlete to keep learning throughout the season. Athletes have direct access to a coach whenever they need it.
An athlete’s perspective on a race has a direct connection to performance, so we center our conversations around how to frame and approach competition.
That extra ounce of guidance from In-Season Support is often the difference between a good season and a great one.

Training Advisory
We help provide the athlete’s high school coach with all relevant background information prior to the start of the season. Throughout the season, we can advise the athlete on decisions related to training, mileage, workouts, and overall progression. We keep training logs open so we can provide feedback when necessary.
We do not provide specific training assignments or replace the athlete’s high school coach.
