Here's What Other Mountain Bikers Are Saying about Coach Drew

Leadville 100 Racer

Doug Bohl

"Big thanks to Drew Edsall who was my coach for the past year and got me ready for the Leadville Trail 100. I was ready, I was strong, and I hit my goal. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it."

State and Regional Mtb Champ

Kevin Rigby

"The videos help me see the mechanics and all the little nuances I've been missing. On my tempo ride yesterday in the loosest conditions I've ever seen at Santos, I used every tool I've learned in the last few weeks. Thought I was slow. When I got home I had set PRs literally everywhere! I cut 45s off bunny alone. And even after dropping a chain I cut 45s off Dr Ruth. Twister over a minute! For people that pay attention in the videos, they work!!! And I used 20-30 watts less and lower HR. Very exciting!"

Cat 1 Mtb Champion

Tim Zimmerman

"Training with Drew has been the best thing for my racing career. He has pushed me to limits that I didn't know that I could achieve"

#1 Ranked U23 Mtb Racer 2016/2017

Jerry Dufour

"After nearly five years of being coached by Drew, I can say that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I wouldn't be where I am today without his experience as a pro racer and knowledge as a coach guiding me through each year to learn what works best for my body and mind to improve each and every year! Both mentally and physically he has taught me how to approach an interval, race, season, and long term goals to be your best when it matters most."

Pro XC Champion

Kayley Burdine

"After working with Coach Drew for almost a year now, I can honestly say it has been the best thing for my racing career. He helped me achieve things I never thought I would be able to achieve in a single years time. With his guidance, I became the undefeated Southeastern Regional Champion as well as the Georgia State champion. Now with Mtbfitness, I have all of things we discuss over the phone at my fingertips so I can go back and review and keep it fresh on my mind. Plus I have the added bonus of skills and drills videos to help me develop better as a mountain biker.""

Mtb Rider

"Hey Drew.....I love the videos. Already practicing the cornering video at Ridgeline and the MAC and definitely noticed an immediate difference."

Cat 1 Mtb XC Racer

Josselyn Gutierrez

"Coach Drew Edsall has taught me how to understand my body through all the phases of training, and his professionalism inspired me to have a whole new appreciation for mountain biking. By following his thorough training plan as closely as possible, I have made significant gains in power and efficiency in a very short period of time. He has helped me achieve my competitive goals, as well as reach a level of fitness that allows me to travel all over the US and explore epic mountain biking destinations with strong legs and confidence. This has been an investment that will last a lifetime, and I eagerly look forward to seeing what kind of new innovative workout he will come up with for me next. Thank you, Coach."

Pro Montain Bike Racer
