High-performance and para sport are expensive, races, travel, gear, classification, time off work. Yousuli reserves a limited number of supported coaching spots for athletes with clear goals and the willingness to do the work.
The athletes who could benefit most from structured coaching are often the ones least able to afford it.
Race entries, travel, equipment, classification, and time off work add up fast. Coaching shouldn’t be the line item that breaks the budget.
Supported athletes commit to structured training, consistent data, and clear goals. Yousuli commits reduced rates, full Lab and club access, and help navigating grants and funds.
A small number of supported spots at any given time. The point is meaningful long-term projects, not a discount drive-thru.
Two pathways. Different criteria, same standards of commitment and follow-through.
Competing (or aiming to compete) at national or international level, or racing in strong age-group fields with clear performance targets, championship qualification, podiums, regional records.
Athletes with a physical, visual, or cognitive impairment training for triathlon, cycling, running, or related endurance sports. You don’t need to already be a Paralympian. You don’t even need to call yourself an athlete yet.
Two tracks, standard supported coaching, or the elite team. Both come with the full Performance Lab and Yousuli Social Club perks.
Premium online and offline coaching at a reduced rate. Full access to the YSC community, Performance Lab discounts, and group sessions.
Offline coaching group for elite-track athletes. Try-out month before formal entry. Deeper testing cadence and extended sponsorship pathways for those who hit the marks.
Set up so the rate works for serious athletes, not month-to-month tourists.
Per month, billed monthly. Some cases may differ slightly based on support level, testing needs, and grants in play.
Long enough to build, test, and adjust the plan. 3-month structures are possible in special cases but not standard.
A small number of supported athletes at any given time. Quality of attention beats roster size.
Exact terms depend on your situation, sport, race calendar, testing needs, classification. We’ll confirm everything in writing before you start. Comparable Yousuli coaching memberships run $200 – $350 / month for non-supported athletes.
Three steps. Honest read of fit on both sides before any commitment.
Tell us about your sport, race history, classification (if applicable), and goals for the next 12–18 months. The more specific the better, vague applications get vague replies.
We review your application and discuss whether Yousuli is the right fit and what support level makes sense. Honest read both ways. If we’re not the right coach, we’ll say so.
If accepted, you begin coaching at the agreed supported rate, with the same expectations and standards as any other Yousuli athlete. First test, first data, first block.
Send a message through the Yousuli contact form with your sport, level, classification (if applicable), race targets, and any grant funding in play. We reply within 1–2 business days.
Include: sport · classification · race history · 12–18 month goals · current coaching status.
Common questions before applying.
No. Many supported athletes are high-level age-groupers or para-athletes at national or regional level. What matters most is your commitment, race goals, and willingness to do the work. For elite-track applicants, we do look for performance benchmarks that suggest meaningful international potential.
$150 is the typical supported rate for elite and para-athletes. In some cases the exact amount may differ slightly based on your support level, testing needs, and any grant funding already in play. Anything different from the standard rate is confirmed in writing before you start.
If we’re a match, we typically agree on an initial block of 6–12 months, then review. If your situation changes, a job, an injury, a relocation, we may adjust the structure or wind down the supported arrangement. No surprise fee jumps.
You’re still welcome to join the Yousuli Social Club, do testing at standard rates, or start with one of our standard coaching memberships ($200 / $350 per month). The supported program is one path; not the only path.
Direct subsidies on race entries or travel aren’t standard. We do help athletes navigate grants, federation funding, sponsorship, and partner perks (Yousuli Social Club discounts on gear, swim equipment, etc.). For para-athletes specifically, we have lines into specific funding bodies and can guide applications.
Yes, a meaningful portion of supported coaching is online. In-person testing days at the Performance Lab or partner facilities are part of the structure but the day-to-day prescription, feedback, and adjustments work fully remotely.
