Enroll in this professional master’s degree and rise as a coach with a global vision, prepared for the most demanding challenges in the world of cycling” 

The demand in the cycling field is increasing. Being one of the most recognized sports and forming part of the Olympic Games since its inception, belonging to a cycling team is a boost of prestige both for the athletes themselves and for the staff that accompanies them. Precisely, innovation in the field of training and analysis of sports performance has driven all specialists in the area in recent decades.

Therefore, the highest level cycling teams are made up of a broad technical team, made up of professionals specialized in different areas such as power, strength, nutrition, planning or biomechanics. In this way, a coach who has extensive capabilities in all these areas will have a privileged position to occupy and even lead entire sections in elite cycling teams.

To respond to this need and demand, TECH has created this program, bringing together a top-level teaching staff. Experts in biomechanics, sports training , professional excicists and nutritional advisers  will provide the student with the necessary keys to stand out in such a competitive sector, where qualification and specialization are already a sine qua non requirement to access the best jobs.

Thus, a total tour of the most important issues in cycling is presented, addressing training planning and programming, Velocity Based Training and modern performance strategies, without neglecting other aspects such as nutrition, biomechanics or the organization and management of a cycling team. With all this, the student will start from an advantageous position to project his professional career towards the most prestigious and leading positions within the cycling field. In addition, we must highlight the completely online format of the program, without the need to attend face-to-face classes or follow pre-established schedules.
