QT2.0 Service Descriptions
Service Offerings Guide
A reference document for QT2 Coaches. Understand each service, who it serves, and what your responsibilities are within it.
QT2 currently offers four distinct coaching and training services: QT2.0 1-1 Comprehensive Coaching, QT2.0 1-1 Coaching, Base+ Coaching, and Base+ Coach Support. All four are grounded in the same QT2.0 StressLogic framework and block periodization model. What differentiates them is not quality - it is the cadence of Coach involvement, the depth of personalization, and the scope of Coach responsibility.
This document defines each service clearly, explains who it is designed for, and outlines your specific responsibilities as a Coach within each. Read it carefully. When an athlete's needs or expectations are not aligned with their service tier, it is your responsibility to recognize that and communicate it - both to the athlete and to QT2 leadership.
QT2.0 1-1 Comprehensive Coaching is our highest-touch, most feature-rich service. It is a true one-to-one coaching partnership built around continuous communication, weekly StressLogic application, and real-time training adaptation. The athlete is buying a Coach who is actively steering their development - not just monitoring it.
This service is appropriate for athletes with variable, unpredictable schedules, high-performance goals, or complex training demands that require frequent recalibration. It is also appropriate for any athlete who needs or wants their Coach deeply engaged in the day-to-day of their training - regardless of ability level.

QT2.0 1-1 Comprehensive Coaching — Athlete Guide
QT2.0 1-1 Coaching is fully individualized coaching with intentional boundaries around the scope of Coach involvement. Like 1-1 Comprehensive Coaching, you build and oversee the athlete's training using the QT2.0 Block Periodization model and StressLogic framework on a weekly basis. The key difference is that your involvement is deliberate and signal-driven - you intervene when meaningful signals warrant it, not as a matter of routine weekly refinement.
This service sits between fully adaptive 1-1 Comprehensive Coaching and block-based Base+ Coaching. It is designed for athletes who want a real Coach building and overseeing their training every week - but who don't need or want continuous, proactive engagement. The athlete values clarity, direction, and autonomy over constant coaching presence.
Who this athlete is- Wants a Coach building and overseeing their training every week
- Comfortable executing independently without constant check-ins
- Values deliberate, signal-driven Coach involvement over continuous engagement
- Does not need or want unlimited communication
- Wants a clear step up from Base+ without committing to full 1-1 Comprehensive
- Build and oversee fully individualized training using QT2.0 Block Periodization and StressLogic, delivered on a weekly basis
- Apply StressLogic weekly to guide training load decisions - adjusting when meaningful performance, recovery, or execution signals indicate a need for change
- Provide feedback on Key, Quality, and Long workouts each week
- Monitor overall training direction and intervene deliberately - not reflexively
- Interpret training trends and execution patterns at the weekly level
- Facilitate and analyze CP/CS field testing to maintain accurate training zones
- Fully manage the athlete's Performance Management Chart (PMC)
- Maintain structured, athlete-driven communication - respond promptly, but do not need to initiate constant outreach

QT2.0 1-1 Coaching — Athlete Guide
Base+ Coaching is a block-based training service with real Coach engagement. Unlike 1-1 Comprehensive Coaching and 1-1 Coaching, training is not recalibrated on a weekly basis in response to qualitative signals. Instead, training is delivered in four-week blocks - built by a real QT2 Coach, grounded in the StressLogic framework, and customized to the athlete's sport, volume environment, and season.
What distinguishes Base+ Coaching from Base+ Coach Support is the Coach engagement layer: regular communication throughout the block, consistent feedback on Key, Quality, and Long sessions, and block-to-block progression guided by your interpretation as a Coach. The athlete is in a real coaching relationship - just not one that demands weekly recalibration.
The Base+ Coaching athlete is typically someone who is developing their training literacy, needs interpretive support and regular feedback to understand what their body is telling them, but whose life is stable enough that week-to-week adjustment isn't necessary. They want a Coach - not just a plan - and they want to be heard between blocks.
Who this athlete is- Wants a real coaching relationship with regular communication and feedback
- Comfortable with block-based training delivery (four-week cycles)
- Does not need week-to-week plan recalibration based on qualitative signals
- Still developing their training literacy - benefits from Coach interpretation and feedback
- Has a consistent enough schedule that four-week blocks hold without weekly adjustment
- Values an accessible investment over full 1-1 Coaching
- Build and customize the athlete's four-week training block using QT2.0 Block Periodization and StressLogic, applied at the block level - not weekly
- Begin from the QT2 Central pre-built block framework, then edit and customize to fit the athlete's specific needs, goals, and sport/volume environment
- Maintain regular communication throughout the block - both Coach-initiated and athlete-initiated
- Provide consistent feedback on Key, Quality, and Long sessions throughout every block
- Interpret execution patterns and guide the athlete's understanding of their training throughout the block
- At the end of each block, review performance and build the next block with that context in mind - block-to-block progression, not week-to-week redesign
- Set up and maintain accurate training zones via CP/CS field testing and analysis
- 4-week blocks built and customized by you
- StressLogic applied at block level
- Regular communication - both directions
- Feedback on Key, Quality & Long sessions
- Block-to-block progression
- CP/CS testing and zone setup
- QT2 Community access via Telegram
- Weekly StressLogic recalibration
- Week-to-week qualitative signal interpretation
- Day-to-day plan adjustments
- Fueling recommendations
- Unlimited communication
- Swim technical progression
Base+ Coaching — Athlete Guide
Base+ Coach Support is QT2's most self-directed service. The athlete gets a Coach-built, StressLogic-grounded four-week training block, accurate zone setup via CP/CS testing, and reactive Coach availability - but they execute largely independently. Your role is to build the system correctly, set the athlete up for success, and be available when they reach out.
Think of this relationship like a knowledgeable resource the athlete can call on. You built the plan. You set the zones. You're available. But you are not actively managing their training week to week, and you are not initiating regular outreach. The athlete is in the driver's seat.
The primary athlete for this service is experienced and autonomous - they know how to train, they trust a good framework, and they don't want to be managed. A secondary athlete is newer and cost-conscious - they may need more than this tier ideally offers, but the framework will serve them and the Coach is available when they reach out.
Who this athlete is- Self-directed and comfortable executing a plan independently
- Wants the system built right - zones accurate, blocks sound - without being managed
- Initiates Coach contact on their own terms, not on a set schedule
- Has a consistent enough schedule that four-week blocks hold without adjustment
- Experienced athlete who can self-interpret most training signals
- OR: newer athlete who is cost-conscious and will reach out when they have questions
- Build and customize the athlete's four-week training block from the QT2 Central framework, adapted to their sport, volume, and season
- Set up accurate training zones via CP/CS field testing and keep them current
- Welcome the athlete at onboarding, orient them to the program, ensure they understand how to use it
- Be available and responsive via TrainingPeaks notes when the athlete reaches out - but you do not initiate regular outreach
- Provide feedback on up to five (5) workouts per block, upon request - this is a hard cap
- At the end of each block, review block-level progression signals and build the next block accordingly
- Adjust the next block based on how the current one unfolded - not week to week
- 4-week blocks built and customized by you
- StressLogic applied at block level
- Athlete-initiated communication via TrainingPeaks
- Up to five (5) workout feedbacks per block, on request
- CP/CS testing and zone setup
- Block-to-block adjustments

Every athlete should be in the service tier that matches how they actually want to train. When there is a mismatch - either the athlete is asking for more than their tier includes, or they are paying for more than they need - it is your job to recognize it and act on it. Do not silently absorb out-of-scope requests. Do not over-deliver beyond the service definition without escalating. The service tiers only work if we hold them clearly.
Signs an athlete needs to move up a tier- Requesting daily feedback when enrolled in QT2.0 1-1 Coaching or Base+ Coaching
- Frequently initiating communication that exceeds the scope of their tier
- Regularly needing week-to-week plan adjustments in a block-based tier
- Requesting feedback beyond the 5-workout cap in Base+ Coach Support
- Expressing frustration that they are not hearing from their Coach proactively
- Showing signs of a highly variable life schedule that a block-based service cannot accommodate
- Rarely communicates with their Coach in a 1-1 tier
- Has an extremely consistent, predictable schedule with few disruptions
- Is highly experienced and self-interpreting - doesn't appear to use the Coach feedback they're paying for
- Has expressed cost sensitivity while maintaining a higher tier
