Meet the coaches
The team behind every plan.
Two coaches today. Both trained on the same system, working under the same standard.
Damian Ruse
Founder & Head Coach
14 years coaching. Guided a rider from beginner to the WorldTour. Writes the methodology behind every plan.
Kabir Antoniak
Coach
Girona-based. Works directly with Guided athletes week to week, under Damian's system.
Every SEMIPRO coach completes The SEMIPRO Coach Pathway, a structured apprenticeship under Damian, before taking responsibility for athlete decisions.
The coaching standard
No coach works in isolation.
Every SEMIPRO coach is trained under Damian’s system before working with athletes.
Athlete files are reviewed in a shared weekly coaching rhythm, so decisions are not made in a vacuum.
Coaches are selected for judgement, physiology, and empathy, not just racing history.
How SEMIPRO coaches
One methodology, applied by the team.
The system comes from Damian’s fourteen years of coaching, but it is not a personality-led guessing game. Every SEMIPRO coach works from the same principles: read the rider, apply the right signal, observe the response, and adjust.
01
Durability is the lens
Fitness is not what you can do fresh. It is what you can still do when fatigue shows up.
02
Read the rider, not the textbook
Numbers describe a person, not a category.
03
Build the engine before you build on top
Intensity expresses what volume has built. Without the platform, intensity creates numbers that do not last.
04
Signal-based, not calendar-based
The plan is a hypothesis. The body's response tells you whether the hypothesis is right.
05
Execution is the multiplier
All the fitness in the world does not matter if you cannot use it properly on the day.
The full methodology is published as the free SEMIPRO Playbook.
