Frank Overton, Head Coach
Frank (I) founded FasCat Coaching in 2002 and has been a full time coach since 2004. To this day it is a dream come true to be able to help cyclists as a coach.
Back in the day, I raced competitively first as a mountain biker and then as a category 1 roadie for 10 years. Drawing on my mountain bike strengths, as a road cyclist I was a good all rounder but excelled in time trials. After the 2005 season, I "retired" to dedicate more of my energy to being a coach, not to mention a family man. This allowed me to take on projects like working for the Priority Health Professional Cycling Team in 2006 and then the US National Team in Europe for 2007.
I started training with power in 2001 and couldn't have become the athlete or the coach, I am today without such a training tool. Power Based Training allows me to utilize my sport science background to maximize athletic performance in ways that just aren't possible without it.
Training with power is a large portion FasCat's Coaching philosophy but not the end all. We teach athlete's how to race and perform. I still rely heavily on getting to know the athlete, and draw from my experience as a racer & a coach to help. I use a hands on approach to motivate athletes by showing them what they are capable of.
