"Andres is one of those especially gifted individuals who can balance his experience
and knowledge with his incredible ability to communicate with the athlete. He presents
an authority without being overbearing. I have seen him work with a group of athletes
who had never met him and, in a few short sessions, have them working within his
well-planned guidelines to win major races. Andres has my utmost respect and admiration."

"Signing up to have Andres as a coach is the best the cycling-related
decision that I've ever made as I've been able to go from a Category 5 to a
Category 2 in three short years thanks to him. I will never become a pro
cyclist, as it is very important to me to have a healthy work/personal
life/cycling balance which means getting to spend time with my family and
pursuing other hobbies while still holding down a full time job. However, I
do want to reach my full potential as an amateur. Since I don't have
unlimited time to train, Andres customizes my training plan day by day to
work around my schedule. The website is very easy to use and was custom
built around Andres's coaching philosophies so you are not getting just
some cookie cutter website. In addition, every workout is designed with a
purpose, and this allows to me get more from less training. Everything I
mentioned above is very important, but what sets Andres apart from other
coaches is that he cares about his athletes and is a very motivational
coach. Just talking with Andres on a weekly basis inspires me to want to go
out and train, because I know Andres cares as much as I do about me meeting
my cycling goals."

"I recommend the services of Coach Andres Angulo to anyone who is interested in
learning how to improve their cycling knowledge and abilities. Andres was a Lead Coach
at the 2005 USA Cycling National Road Development Camp, and I was impressed by his ability
to work with Athletes of all ages and skill levels, as well as his ability to help people
set tough (but attainable) goals. He is one of the best coaches with whom I have worked,
so I hope you give him your deepest consideration."

"Andres coaches several members of our cycling team, and we've all been very happy
with the result. Under his structured training plans our team has risen above the
regional competition to achieve numerous victories this season highlighted by a
1st and 2nd overall in an NRC Stage Race. Personally, I'm in my 40's with a full
time corporate career, 3 kids and all the trappings of this busy home and work life.
I have raced cat 4 road and sport class MTB for many years, and I always expected
to stay in the cat 4's. Andres' guidance and structured training program has enabled
me to move up to be a competitive cat 3 and expert mountain biker with a 2nd place
and several top 5 and top 10 finishes. The training also gives me the confidence
and knowledge that I've done the proper work and am prepared to race."

"Andres coaching has focused on what Ive wanted to achieve from cycling. He does
an excellent job of evaluating many of the outside factors that affect our lives
as amateur athletes and the stressors that we must deal with on and off the bikes.
He coaches me to focus on not only improving my strengths but on improving my weaknesses
as this is the area in which some of the greatest improvements in overall performance
can occur. Many cyclists from opposing teams have commented on the performance of
my team mates that have been influenced by Andres coaching and management. Its wonderful
to be involved with a group of amateur racers that are overseen with a professional
attitude, guidance, and approach that ties together our individual goals with the
best overall outcome of the team. The dynamics of the team atmosphere is a honing
tool that exposes our weaknesses thus allowing Andres to pick apart our performance
and then rebuild us into stronger athletes. This is not the sport for a thin skinned
individual but it takes a tenacious coach to deal with much of my thick headed thinking.
Andres coaching has greatly improved my riding while improving the balance in my
overall life. If you want to improve your cycling youll find Andres dedicated to
you."

"I've been a competitive cyclist for twelve years. In that time, I've 'trained'
many different ways both during the racing season, as well as in the off season
with mediocre results. When I began to work with Andres, I knew that he had a plan
for the entire season. There was a purpose with each workout and that allowed me
to gain a maximum return on my efforts while on the bike. There are plenty of 'self-coached'
plans and books for an athlete to read and I've read most of them. In my opinion,
to be an effective athlete at any level, I believe a person needs a coach/instructor/mentor
with the credentials and knowledge of someone like Andres to obtain their true potential.
I highly recommend anyone who is wanting to take their riding or racing to the next
level, even if you're a beginner, that they contact Andres. He gives 110%."

"Thank you for helping me prepare for the Tour of the Hilltowns. I really liked your
workout plan. It was well planned, and I feel that the format is the most efficient
that I have seen. The taper was also spot on. The plan was followed to the letter.
I felt great on race day, and I have excellent form that I can capitalize on. It
was a pleasure working with you."
