Guidance & Advocacy Program (GAP)
Given the costs and energy involved with piecing together a well-engineered annual scope, planning and implementation are critical to process. With 20+ years of experience, both domestically and with European racing , ECA’s GAP is designed to meet this specific overarching need for the athlete and their support team.
GAP is a coordinated, collaborative, and consistent program that brings together all of the components for navigating the cyclocross pathway. Each participant chooses the 3-5 people (e.g. parent(s), coach, team manager, teacher, advocate etc) they would like as part of their GAP management circle. Then, a schedule is set up for ongoing Zoom meetings to coordinate and implement goals, schedule, personnel, resources, academic responsibilities, athlete selection procedures, and accountability.
Year-round regular Zoom meetings, in-person conferences at all ECA camps and European race blocks, European hands-on academic assistance, a season’s-end report card from ECA Coaches, and a season’s-end conference centering on progress, growth, and accountability are all part of the program.
Cost: $1000 per year.
