Why get professional coaching 

It's neccessary 

All the current pro racers hide the fact that they had coaching. It's the best kept pro racing secret. The smart ones get expert advice throughout their career. They have tough competition. They don't want to compete with you too. So they keep the important information to themselves. 

There's very little room at the top. You must "earn" your way in by ruthlessly pushing one of them out. They won't help you. And they shouldn't. It's a serious game when it's your job. 

Without experienced coaching, most riders hit a ceiling and cannot progress further. Mainly because their programs lacks important elements. If you realize this early, you have a good chance of success. A good coach will help you add the right elements. 

Every rider needs coaching for 4 reasons: 

1. Knowledge 

I've never seen a young rider make it to the top pro level without the guidance and assistance of an older and wiser guy. A professional coach has been around long enough to aquire the neccessary knowledge and experience. By the time you learn what he knows you're usually too old to compete as a top pro. He'll help you solve problems and make important decisions. 

2. Time 

As a pro offroad motorcycle racing athlete, there's too much work for one guy. Mainly because the machines requires so much time to constantly rebuild and maintain. A good coach can help lighten the load, get the bike set up right, and help find you the right mechanic. 

The rider has to train, practice and rest so much that he can't do it all and stay super fit. You don't want to learn this after you're too old to race. If you try to make it alone, when you close in on 40, the regret hits hard. There's no going back. Each of us only has one 20-year window to be a pro athlete of any kind. A good coach can get you profitable before it's too late. 

3. Money 

Trying to figure out how to reach the top level on your own is the slow hard expensive way. Most guys waist a lot of money on unnecessary crap. The coach knows what you need. 

Every year you spend experimenting is another lost season in what would have been your peak earning years. Not the developing years in the beggining or the slowing down years near the end. 

Your big money making years will just keep disappearing. The early investing and developing years must occure regardless. A good coach can get you through those years quickly, so you make money soon. 

4. Injury 

Most riders have no idea how to ride fast AND avoid injury. Progress stalls when you're hurt. But a wise old pro has seen it all. He knows how to avoid trouble and problems. He'll show you how to build speed gradually and without injury. 

An injured racer is not a pro at all. If you can't compete, you can't get paid. Often pro riders get injured and never heal properly. Their careers end quickly. A good coach can show you how to avoid serious injuries, heal quickly and correctly when it does happen, and get back in the game.


Our sport 

It's great 

Offroad motorcycle racing, also called cross-country or harescrambles, is one of the most thrilling, exciting, exhilarating, adventurous, and yet physically, mentally, and technicaly challenging activities you can do. That's why it's so enticing yet one of the most difficult grinds you'll ever experience. 

It's a great workout. But it's so intense you don't even notice it happening to you. For people that don't like boring gym workouts, it's perfect. And practicing is the same way. 

You basically navigate a marked trail that you've never seen before, as fast as you can, for about 2 to 4 hrs, usually for 50 to 80 miles, non-stop, over, across, and through every type of terrain and obstacles you can imagine. Sometimes it's nearly impassable. And in all weather conditions. You make constant split second decisions. You just quickly find a way to the checkered flag, without letting anyone or anything get in your way. It breaks the will of men with weaknesses.


Dirt bikes aren't dangerous 

I proved it 

Dirt bike riding is not inherently dangerous. 
To this day, most people don't believe this.
But there is a way to do it, all the to the top pro level, and even get a factory ride, without getting injured. I proved it. 

It's important for young men to go through the hard challenges of life in order to develop into tough, capable, experienced, mature adults. There is much to learn from our failures and mistakes. And this sport will teach you and toughen you up. But permanent or debilitating injuries are not helpful or necessary. 

It's important to proactively protect our body. From my knowledge of biology, emergency medicine, and years of banging myself up racing, I realize our bodies are not as tough as we think. 

So thirty years ago I developed a theory on how to ride and even race all the way to the top pro level without experiencing injuries. It was considered a finatical theory by virtually everyone. But in order to keep a clear conscience for getting my young nephew into riding, I had to try it. 

Justin was a good kid, and I cared about him very much, so I didn't want to see him go through the injuries I had. But he was a little lazy. No matter what sport we got him into he didn't get in shape. I know dirt bike riding will get anyone super fit with little effort -- I've been doing it for 58 years. 

So I developed a very strict health and safety program for him. And then we spent 8 years working our way to the top, while proving my program works. For 3 years we rode a couple times a week, and raced all the FTR harescrambles. No injuries. And the kid stayed very fit. 

But when he was 14 he asked me to help him become a pro racer. That's when my program was put to the ultimate test. I quit my job and learned a new one: pro racing coach, tuner, and manager. And Justin learned his: professional dirt bike racer. 

Five long hard dedicated years later, we stood on the GNCC podium as the 3rd best race team in the USA that day. And then we went on to win the new GNCC pro lites XC2 National Championship on the factory KTM National race team the next year (2007). All with vitually no serious injuries. All it took was thousands of hours of working, riding, training, and racing, but with strict adherence to my program. 

Dirt bike riding is so thrilling, exciting, and fun, that you get a great workout without any effort. You don't have to push yourself because it pulls you in; it's almost addictive. Hence the problem. If a little speed is thrilling, more speed equals more thrill. It's true. 

That extreme riding thrill is fine until the body experiences an abrupt stop. Because too much speed equals loss of control and eventually a crash. Then comes the injury and regret. By creating my program, I hoped to help my nephew avoid that. 

Proving my "safer racing" theory valid is one of the most important accomplishments of my life. So now I teach my program to those who want to learn how to ride and compete at any level without taking painful and unnecessary risks.


Racing program instruction 

Complete and comprehensive 

A short initial discussion will determine if we should work together. 

If so, we discuss, observe, and analyze your program. Then I'll advise you on how to improve it. 

Racing program catagories: 

Thorough bike prep
Riding correctly 
Protecting your body
Training correctly 
Eating correctly 
Having the right mindset
Complete race prep
Daily routine 
Weekly routine
Season strategy
Career plan
Living the pro racer lifestyle 
Handling success 

If you can stay with my program, I guarantee you'll get super fit and your race results will advance, with fewer injuries and lower costs, all the way to the pro level if you want. No boring gym workouts neccessary. 

Everyone learns differently. I'll help you find "your" way to success, while avoiding painful, time-consuming and expensive mistakes. And I'll consider working with anyone or any group you can bring togather. 

For us older guys, sometimes we can utilize a different perspective, to help us enjoy our sport as long as possible. 

I'll also show you how to aquire, evaluate, and deal with your team staff, like mechanics, sponsors, and investors. 

Part of what I do for some younger men is help them understand and appreciate the unique opportunity they have. By encouraging them to mature and develop into serious, responsible, successful athletes, their coaching investment becomes more sensible. Highly developed men with comprehensively developed racing skills and knowledge do well in this sport. 

I have no set fee. Although good clients always respect and value my time.


Pro secrets 

The 5 B's 

A serious racer must address all 5: bike, body, brains, bucks, and balls. 

Any one catagory failure will lead to total pro racing failure. 

All your speed and skills will mean nothing without addressing them thoroughly. 

I'll show you how to get them right. 

1. Bike: if your bike fails, even the greatest of riders fails along with it. I'll show you how to build perfect bikes. 

2. Body: if your not super fit, even the best machine can't carry you to success. I'll show you how to get in great shape. 

3. Brains: if you don't get the neccessary knowledge you can't make important split-second decisions when your coach isn't there. If you don't have the right attitude you won't maintain your focus, especially in long intense races. I'll show you how. 

4. Bucks: if you run out of money, your venture is over. It's costly until you're a pro. Then it pays very well. I'll show you how to not waist your career investment money on the unnecessary crap everyone is trying to trick you into buying. 

5. Balls: if you're too concerned about what people think of you, and how you "feel" about it, you need too grow a set. As a young man, your thoughts and actions are far more important than your feelings. The opinions of people who love you, and those who have your best interest in mind, matter very much. Forget the rest. I'll show you how.

Florida 

I'll be around the central Florida area most of the time. But I'm willing to travel.


Race team opportunity 

For unique and exceptional men 

My race team is a small group of serious, ambitious, responsible, unique and exceptional men, working and training togather, helping each other be the best they can be as a group. 

The team concentrates on race performance, promoting sponsors, and assisting distressed riders. 

Members are chosen by their exceptional abilities, values, and character. All of which must improve the team as a whole. 

The team generally resides in their race bike haulers/campers almost permanently out on the road, traveling from race to race, Sunday to Sunday. And does their training and practice somewhere in between. This saves greatly on transportation costs, creates valuable terrain variety riding, and keeps life interesting. 

There's an important race somewhere every weekend. If a serious race team is not there, they're not doing their job. Weekends are for racing and promoting. Weekdays are for clean-up, off-time, travel, practice, and race preparations, etc. That's a true pro racers lifestyle. 

Requirements: 

Intelligence 
Courage
Ambition 
Determination 
Character 
Emergency medical training 

New members are chosen by unanimous consent of all current team members, because a team is only as strong as it's weakest member. 

Any team compensation will be shared equally by the entire team. Members function more like brothers than competitors. They truely support each other, but they also hold each other accountable. 

Sponsors will appreciate our mission: 
To achieve our greatest possible racing team performance. And to help make offroad riding and racing a safer sport.


Health and fitness 

Take care of you 

Without your health you have nothing. 

Even if you're not into riding dirt bikes, but you want to get fit and healthy, I can help you. I'm also a health expert, a fitness trainer and a pickleball instructor. 

There are 2 big challenges to being fit and healthy: 

1. Creating "your" program 

Finding an excercise and nutrition program that is effective yet convenient and enjoyable for a particular individual is not easy. But it's my specialty. Being fit doesn't have to be boring, time-consuming, or unnecessarily difficult. 

2. Avoiding misinformation 

Digging through all the misinformation to find the truth is difficult. I've spent many years doing just that. 

I'll help you get the extra weight off, get fit, feel better, look better, and live a healthier and longer life.

My learning years 

Experience 

I spent about 6 extremely intense years doing nothing but developing my program and proving a racer could reach the top pro level without getting injured. 

At 42 I had developed the right skills and acquired the necessary knowledge to become an effective racing coach. Fortunately I was in the right situation to coach, mechanic, and manage full-time while helping my nephew develop. Most Dads and uncles just don't have that opportunity. 

While developing my Williamson Racing Program, we achieved 4 industry records (from our 360 consecutive race run 1999 - 2007): 

(1) No mechanical dnf's
(2) No serious injurys
(3) My riders never quit a single race
(4) We made extremely rapid progress to the Top-10 National Level (only 5 full GNCC seasons '03 - '07) 

Our Williamson Racing team national results: 

GNCC: 2003 -- 32nd o/a, '04 -- 21st o/a, '05 -- 12th o/a, '06 -- 11th o/a, '07 -- 9th o/a. (2007 GNCC XC2 National Championship) 

OMA National series: 2004 -- 3rd o/a, '05 2nd o\a, and '06 -- 2nd o/a. 

AMA National Harescramble series: 2006 -- 3rd o/a, '07 -- 2nd o/a. 

First USA Hard Enduro (Last Man Standing - TX - 2006): 4th o/a. 

First ever USA Endurocross (Las Vagas - 2004): youngest competitor (16). 

Factory KTM racer 2007 - 2008.
