Dave will lead group and small group sessions – offering instruction, evaluating your abilities, identifying issues that might be holding you back and diagnosing solutions that will lead to improvement. Before arriving at camp, we will call you for a personal consultation to help determine your interests, abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Each session will be highly targeted, intelligently designed and with a clear purpose. We will analyse how your nutrition, strength, and biomechanics can be fine-tuned to further enhance your performance.

Dave Scott's 7 day clinic will be limited to 12 attendees, with each guest enjoying 1-1 consultations, small group swim-bike-run training and group flexibility, mobility and strength and conditioning classes. The team will provide cutting edge physiological and biomechanical analysis, with programmes designed around you - addressing any aspect of racing and training from swim-bike-run to strength & conditioning, diet & nutrition and race tactics and psychology.

The 5 day masterclass is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 6 individuals to benefit from unrivalled access to one of the leading coaches in world triathlon today. With several 1-1 sessions, this is a unique opportunity to take the next step in your triathlon journey and a detailed report and follow-up programme will set you on your path to success, whatever that looks like for you.

Your whole experience will take place in and around the stunning Chateau de la Motte Henry estate, conveniently located in the Pays de la Loire, France, and readily accessible from all over Western Europe. Throughout your stay you’ll enjoy fresh healthy meals, be given ample opportunity to relax in the 27 acres of woodland grounds and enjoy the stunning Chateau, its period rooms and extensive health and wellness facilities.
