Dalton Walters: USAC Certified Coach

Coach Dalton started riding at age 5 and took up cycling as a sport at age 14 through his high school’s cycling club, eventually transitioning to his local shop team, and now racing for Colorado Mesa University’s D1 collegiate team. Dalton raced cross country mountain bikes and cyclocross at the Cat 2 level and raced road as a criterium specialist at the Cat 1 level, until ultimately finding home as a track sprinter by making it onto the USA Cycling Olympic Development Program and training under Coach Lee Povey.

This year, Dalton passed USA Cycling’s Level 3 coaching exam, and became SafeSport certified. As one of the few athletes of color in the sport of cycling in the US, he felt compelled to do what he could to promote inclusion and diversity in the sport. One of which is to be a positive ambassador of what a black cyclist can achieve racing in the US, the second of which is sharing his knowledge and experience to those without the opportunity to support themselves in an expensive, complex, and underrepresented sport. 
 
Having been coached under four different coaching programs, he knows that the key to a rider’s success is not just writing the training plan. From technical/tactical advice, to nutrition and sleep tips and more. Dalton seeks for a more holistic approach to helping his athletes to achieve their goals.

  • Lee and Performance Cycle Coaching provided a depth of analysis and developmental approach to training that was outstanding and possibly the best I had ever experienced. I wish I had more opportunities to train and be coached by Lee and PCC. Thanks Lee.

    Rob Drinkwater, Australian Rugby Union

  • I’ve had the benefited from Lee’s expertise on various occasions, I gained many new skills and specific tactics that were delivered in a practical, nurturing leaning environment. For me, like so many women in the sport I lacked the confidence in my own ability when racing, Lee’s empathic, professional and patient approach helped me build my self-confidence on the bike, ultimately leading to better results.

    Cheryl Owens, Sales and Marketing Professional

  • I highly recommend Lee's coaching ability and track sprinting knowledge. After one of his weekend courses, I learn and applied tactic's that enabled me to succeed at a higher level of competition. I'd never beaten other riders who qualified quicker than me before Lee taught me some key elements of the black art of track craft.

    Nathan March

  • Can’t say enough good things about Lee's expertise in the world of track sprinting. I completed one of Lee's sprint clinics at the Velo Sport Center in Carson, CA and walked away with critical answers to technical sprint events that plague almost every track sprinter, even those with notable coaches. His video feedback and simple instructions in such a relaxed environment made it easy to learn and solidified. Track sprinting is not like any other cycling discipline and you should not rely on a general cycling coach to bring the most out of your game, you'll need a specialists such as Lee to unlock your true potential

    Keau Wong, Research Associate

  • Lee is a brilliant coach, he was meticulous, professional, friendly and very knowledgeable in his approach during the coaching of my son in his chosen discipline (track cycling). Lee was definitely one of the driving forces which led my son to be a multi National, European and World Junior Champion.

    John Paul, Research Sites Restoration Limited

  • Lee is a great coach. Both as a personal trainer and a track session leader. He has a habit of getting to know his students well very quickly and can tailor advise based not just on their physical talents and ability but their mental states too. He is very good at what he does, informative and also fun, if you want it to be but also very serious at other times. I highly recommend him.

    Michael Cooper, SPIKA

  • Lee is not just a top class performance coach. He imparts his knowledge with good humor and his ability to motivate is second to none. He is an ideal choice for riders who wish to stretch their boundaries beyond where they previously thought possible!

    Hugh Byrne

  • Under Lee's guidance / coaching I achieved a number of World level medals during 2012. Not only is he knowledgable in his field, but his personality and easy-going nature makes him a natural coach. I would strongly recommend him as a Track Cycling Coach

    Miles Joule Stovold, Alpiq Trading

  • I hired Lee to coach me coming back into track cycling after a serious back injury during the war and needed personal attention and specialized attention to my training schedule. Lee listened to my needs on the bike and in the gym, tailored my training schedule and really listened not only to what I was saying but to what I wasn't saying. He didn't let me get away with excuses and helped me come back strong to race and succeed as an athlete! Lee is a great coach and good friend and mentor.

    William S. Whitman, USAF Electronic Systems

  • I went to Lee to help my 15 year old daughter who is a budding track sprinter. His sessions and coaching were excellent and gave her much confidence for the future. The coaching clinics were well organised and prepared and gave a good balance of theory and practical, track time. Everything was recorded on video for immediate de-brief. Lee is a premium quality coach, personable and who clearly gets results. I would recommend him without hesitation.

But also he was there for me after I had a crash and broke several bones. Lee got me through this and back up to fitness when I was ready to abort my racing season.

    Glenn O'Brien, Bandon Cleaning Company Limited

  • Lee is a highly qualified bicycle racing coach. At this time, Great Britain has the best track program in the world. The USA is not close. Lee has personal knowledge of how they train. His training knowledge is on par with coaching only available to our National team. If you want to be as good as you can be, hiring Lee is a great first step

    Mark Rodamaker, MCR Associates

  • I met Lee when stepping foot on to the Velodrome for the very first time at one of his Track Cycling Introduction courses. Since then I have also successfully completed several other Track Cycling Training days run by Lee and am well and truly "hooked". Lee is a professional coach - patient, direct, assertive, with a deep understanding of people & the sport together with loads of energy/enthusiasm that one cannot help but aspire to. I have learnt so much from him and will continue to follow his guidance and advice throughout the course of my development as a Track Cyclist - looking forward to seeing you again soon Lee!
