Your application is in.
You probably don’t need another certification, collection of templates, or list of exercises.
You need a coaching system you understand, can explain, and can adapt to the athletes in front of you.
If you already know this is the work you want to do, sign up and book call one. If you would rather talk it through first, book a focused 15-minute call. We’ll talk about where your coaching stands now, what you are trying to build, and whether individual mentorship is the right way to get there.
Let’s build your coaching system.
Most coaches do not struggle because they lack information.
They struggle because their information has never been organized into a clear decision-making process.
They have courses, templates, saved posts, and dozens of training ideas, but no consistent way to decide:
- What an athlete actually needs
- Which limitation matters most
- What to prioritize now
- How to organize the training season
- Whether the program is working
- When and why the plan should change
When an athlete stops progressing, you need more than another progression to copy. You need a reliable process for deciding what the goal demands, where the athlete currently stands, and which gap deserves your attention first.
Individual mentorship helps you turn what you know into a system you can use.
The goal is not to teach you to copy how I coach. It is to help you develop your own process, sharpen your judgment, and make better programming decisions with greater confidence.
Is this mentorship for you?
It may be a strong fit if:
- You coach athletes but your programming process still feels inconsistent.
- You understand training concepts individually but struggle to connect them into a complete plan.
- You second-guess priorities, progressions, or season structure.
- You want direct feedback on your programming and decision-making.
- You have a specific project, problem, or part of your coaching practice you want to develop.
You do not need to coach elite athletes.
You do need real athletes, real coaching problems, and a willingness to examine how you make decisions.
What we can build together.
The mentorship is organized around your coaching practice and the problems you need to solve.
Depending on your goals, our work may include:
Clarify the principles behind your programming and develop a more consistent process for making and explaining decisions.
Build a system for understanding the athlete, defining what the goal requires, identifying the gaps between them, and deciding which limitations matter most.
Connect long-term priorities to training phases, weekly structure, session design, exercise selection, volume, intensity, and progression.
Improve how you monitor progress, communicate with athletes, deliver training, review results, onboard clients, and adjust the plan.
We will identify the areas that will have the greatest effect on your coaching and work through them properly.
The goal is tangible improvement, not six interesting conversations.
You should leave with clearer systems, greater confidence in your decisions, and practical tools you can continue using after the mentorship ends.
Six private working sessions.
This is not a prerecorded course or a generic curriculum.
The mentorship includes:
- Six private calls with me
- Individual review of your coaching systems and programming
- Work centered on your athletes, goals, and current challenges
- Clear actions to complete between calls
- Full access to the Ruth Performance Collective during the mentorship
- Continued Collective access for 90 days after your final mentorship call
The private calls give us space to work deeply on your coaching.
The Collective gives you continued access to weekly discussions, research reviews, templates, progressions, and other serious coaches while you apply what we build.
Developed through 20+ years of coaching.
My approach has been shaped by more than two decades of coaching, a master’s degree in Applied Sport Science, and work with athletes across competitive divisions.
But mentorship is not about handing you the exact system I use with my athletes.
It is about helping you understand the reasoning behind strong coaching decisions so you can build a system that fits your athletes, your environment, and the coach you want to become.
From coaches who have done the work.
"He taught me to start with a demands analysis, break the event down into what it actually requires, then program backward from it."
Noah Sager · Mentorship graduate"What set the mentorship apart was how well Kyle diagnosed exactly what I needed to work on and then spent the right amount of time on it instead of spreading thin. For me, that was my onboarding process, and once we fixed that, everything else started to flow. He taught me to start with a demands analysis, break the event down into what it actually requires, then program backward from it, and to build repeatable decision frameworks that turn what I find in an assessment into a specific programming decision instead of a guess. What made it all stick was Kyle's style: he pushes back."
"Kyle is one of the most knowledgeable coaches in our space. Working with Kyle has made me more confident as a coach, and the homework he gave matched my goals. I now have all the back end set up to onboard clients as well as a new season planning system for my athletes. If you are on the fence, just take the leap. Stretch if you need to because investing in yourself is the best thing we can do as coaches. Kyle is a phenomenal mentor who will meet you where you're at."
"My onboarding is more structured and every assessment has a real purpose. Sometimes, I was assessing for assessing. I am also more specific to the goals in my programming because of the need analysis."
"I struggled with confidence in programming energy systems training and the business side of coaching. What I liked especially was his approach to the mentorship. He didn't squeeze me into a pre-existing model, but worked with me 1:1 specifically on the problems I had. The Ruth Performance Collective, where I got enrolled, was a great add-on to the service itself, as I was able to connect with different coaches with similar issues. After 6 calls I feel way more confident in programming for my athletes and can't wait to expand my business! 10/10 recommend!"
"Working with Kyle has been profoundly impactful on developing my coaching systems in both how I manage, onboard and develop programming for my athletes. Remote coaching is an isolated field for many and personally I see no greater value than working with someone who you are able to analyse ideas with and help shape you as a better coach. Personally I believe your athletes invest in you for their continued growth and you should be looking to develop yourself in the same way. Kyle has really helped me do that."
"Ever had the experience that after a seminar or course you're thinking to yourself: why did I buy it or go there? I learned nothing new and the information isn't applicable to my demographic. This isn't like that. You're definitely getting your money's worth and maybe more."
