Liv Epic Coaching with Tiffany Ballew

I had the opportunity to speak with one of our new Sorella sponsors Tiffany Ballew. Her company Liv Epic Coaching is coaching built for the female athlete who want to balance life with big goals – not just a training plan but a partner in your performance.
Tiffany was a Sorella in the past and has rejoined the club, bringing her experience with her. She is a USA Cycling Certified Coach and she is now offering personalized training for athletes who want consistent communication, adaptive planning, and real coaching. This includes coaching calls, unlimited texting, workout analysis and personalized strength training. Sorella members enjoy 15% off monthly coaching and complementary on boarding ($100 value).
Liv Epic Coaching is a great name for her company. She is doing epic rides which makes her uniquely qualified to train others to do the same. Tiffany has 20 years of racing, Leadville 100×10, XC Nat Champ, Unbound200, and CapeEpic. This year she is adding Trakain Spain to her race resume!
I really enjoyed getting the chance to speak with Tiffany. It turns out we know some of the same people from years ago, so I felt an easy connection. I really think it’s important to have that human connection that can help adapt to the real world, busy schedules and fatigue. AI won’t keep you accountable or take in to consideration you didn’t sleep well last night or that your child has a soccer match. Tiffany understands what it takes to balance it all and use your time efficiently. Right now she is recovering from an injury which gives her even more perspective on training and recovering. Having a coach keeps you accountable when you may otherwise just skip it. For me it’s just nice to have a cheerleader, someone providing reassurance and support. I’ve been racing for a while and as I age it is harder to stay motivated. This is where a coach could really help with specific race prep or after a plateau. When I see the races that Tiffany has done, I think to myself "oh I want to do that one too!" You are never too old to do an epic ride!
Unbound is five weeks away so reach out to Tiffany if that is on your race calendar. She recommends three months ideally for a specific event or your next century. I think we need more female coaches for our female athletes. They show us we can do the epic rides or just improve our general fitness. Let Tiffany share her 20 years of experience with you!
