We are Team EF Coaching

“No matter what your numbers may tell you, if you aren’t drafting correctly, using the terrain to your advantage, understanding the momentum of yourself and your bike, and fueling your body right, you will always be limited as a cyclist,” explained Jonathan Vaughters, EF Education-EasyPost CEO, riding through his hometown of Denver, CO. “Why limit your training to increase abstract numbers? Why not learn how to use those same numbers to your advantage and enjoyment?”

After nearly 20 years racing at the highest level of the sport, our team decided it was time to share what we’ve learned with cyclists of all kinds, outside the professional ranks. We set out to develop a coaching system that was as dynamic and varied as the athletes we coach.

Years in the making, the Team EF Coaching method eschews dated standards for a dynamic, real-world training system. We have developed a dynamic power test and training plan that better prepares riders for KOMs, gran fondos, and seven-hour gravel races, focusing on power at the end of races rather than a 30-minute interval at the start. We’ve learned from our coaches and our riders for the last 20 years about the ups and downs of riding a bike, and with Team EF Coaching, we get to share what we’ve learned with you.

We are proud to be the only elite sports organization offering coaching to athletes of all kinds. Starting as a development outfit, we have grown into a progressive team that has won nearly every major event in professional cycling. We have pioneered changes to the sport in nutrition, aerodynamics, training, and anti-doping. For the first time in professional cycling, this team will share its unique knowledge and experience with cyclists outside the professional ranks.

“We see many talented young riders come into the pro ranks, with a big engine and big numbers, but if they don’t understand the nuances of cycling, they won’t succeed,” explained Vaughters.

“Team EF Coaching gives riders new metrics by which to measure their progress. Our metrics are more holistic and applicable to real cycling, not just being a number factory. We coach people from all walks of life to improve as a true cyclist.”

There are four key facets of the Team EF Coaching system:

Unlimited one-on-one coaching from individually matched coaches:

Our coaching system is tailored to our athletes’ needs and goals. Members at all levels receive personalized performance growth plans, detailed weekly training plans, and regular feedback on progress and workouts.

Weekly training plans: Our experienced coaches provide bespoke training plans to all our Team EF Coaching athletes on a weekly basis.

Video course library: Access to Team EF Coaching’s video courses helps athletes understand core cycling concepts, both foundational and advanced.

Strength and nutrition coaching: With our Premium plan, athletes receive individually-tailored nutrition plans and strength coaching. Premium members also have access to our full library of strength training videos and nutrition content.

At Team EF coaching, we are Tour de France riders, elite coaches, and world-class nutritionists. We apply what we’ve learned in our 20 years at the top of the sport to help you become a better rider, racer, and athlete. Our team has won nearly every major race in the sport despite seldom starting with the favorites. How? Coaching and craft. Join us, we’ll show you both.
