AS A CYCLIST, you strive to be on form, finding that perfect moment of fitness and freshness that delivers a spot on the podium or a personal best. Through all of the intervals and tough group rides, you track your power numbers, mileage, and recovery, hoping to time it all so you're at your best physically, mentally, and tactically.

WorldTour pro turned coach Tom Danielson presents a new approach to take your cycling to the next level. He'll teach you how to develop the four essential components of cycling performance: FITNESS, EXECUTION, NUTRITION, and FOCUS. Anyone can build strength and endurance with consistent workouts, but prac¬ticing other elements of your ride will deliver long-term growth:

• Strategize when you can use your power to your greatest advantage
• Play to your strengths as a rider, whether you are naturally a puncheur, sprinter, climber, or time trialist
• Change your body position to maximize watts
• Align your mindset to your physical effort for greater efficiency
• Choose foods that fuel your body and match nutrient quantity to the day's ride

TOM DANIELSON raced at the top tier of pro cycling, taking stage wins in the Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana as well as an eighth-place overall finish in the Tour. Tom and his wife, Kourtney, are the founders of CINCH Cycling.
