I truly believe the right coaching can help you get the most out of your training and become the athlete you're capable of becoming.
Starting this year, every August I'm going to fully fund 12 weeks of my VIP 1 to 1 Coaching for one athlete who's ready to commit.
If you think you've got what I'm looking for, I'd love to hear from you.
Here's the scholarship in my own words. Why I'm doing it, who it's for, and what I'll expect from you.
Rather read it? Everything I cover in the video is written out below.
If you're nodding your head, you're exactly the type of athlete I'd like to hear from.
This isn't just about giving you another training programme.
My job is to give you the structure, guidance and support to get the most out of yourself.
For 12 weeks we'll work together to build a plan around your goals, your lifestyle and your training.
You'll have direct access to me throughout the process, regular coaching feedback and a programme that evolves as you do.
My job isn't just to help you perform better over the next 12 weeks.
It's to help you leave with a better understanding of your training, your recovery and what works best for you so you can keep progressing long after the scholarship has finished.
Whether you continue coaching with me afterwards or not, my aim is simple.
I want you to leave better than you came in.
If I'm going to back you every step of the way, I need something from you too.
I don't expect perfection.
I do expect honesty.
Give me feedback.
Ask questions.
Tell me what's working and what isn't.
Trust the process.
Do the work.
The more openly we communicate, the better I can coach you.
Great coaching isn't something I do to you.
It's something we build together.
If you're selected as the 2026 Ryan Gibney Performance Scholar you'll receive my full VIP 1 to 1 Coaching package for 12 weeks, fully funded by me.
Applying will only take a couple of minutes.
No sales call bullshit.
Just tell me a little about yourself, your training and why this opportunity matters to you.
Once you've applied you'll be added to my coaching email list where I'll share coaching insights, practical training tips and scholarship updates while applications are open.
I'll personally read every application.
I'm not looking for elite athletes or perfection.
I'm looking for someone with the right attitude, drive and work ethic to become the athlete they're capable of becoming.
Someone who's coachable.
Prepared to ask questions.
Prepared to trust the process.
Prepared to do the work.
There'll only be one Performance Scholar.
Even if you're not selected, I want you to leave this process a better athlete than when you applied.
That means you'll still receive coaching insights, practical advice and a clear next step to help you keep moving forward.
Because that's what good coaching should do.
I didn't create this scholarship because I needed a clever marketing tactic.
I created it because I truly believe your financial situation shouldn't be the biggest thing holding back your development.
Over the last 25 plus years some of the best coaches in the world gave me their time, shared their knowledge and helped me become a better coach.
Don't get me wrong.
I had to earn those opportunities.
Nobody handed me anything.
Starting this year, every August I want to pay that forward.
I'll fully fund 12 weeks of my VIP 1 to 1 Coaching for one athlete who's prepared to do the work.
If this scholarship achieves one thing, I hope it's that one athlete gets an opportunity they might not otherwise have had.
If you've read this far there's a good chance you're exactly the sort of athlete I'm looking for.
Applying will only take a couple of minutes.
No sales call bullshit.
Just tell me a little about yourself and why you'd like to be considered.
I'd love to hear from you.
