– Dennis Newton Coach / Mentor
What Can You Expect
You’ll work closely with Dennis Newton to maximise your training productivity and avoid common pitfalls such as overtraining, self‑doubt and performance plateaus.
ADP services can be used as short‑term support during key training periods or combined to create a longer-term programme. To join, you need to be registered on the athlete roster. Before enrolling, Dennis arranges a short video call with every athlete to understand what you’re looking for and ensure the programme supports your needs.
During the consultation, you will work together to shape a personalised training plan that tracks your progress and benchmarks your skills against the latest normative data. This ensures your training remains targeted, purposeful, and aligned with your competition goals.
Throughout the programme, you will develop the ability to guide your own progress across three key areas:
- Self-awareness: understanding your strengths, weaknesses, values, motivations, emotions, and learning preferences.
- Resilience: managing change effectively, overcoming challenges, and recovering from setbacks.
- Openness to learning: embracing feedback, addressing weaknesses, and engaging in meaningful practice.
This holistic approach supports your technical, tactical, physical, and psychological development, ensuring that your training reflects the full demands of high‑performance freestyle.
Dennis is dedicated to creating an inclusive training environment, where every athlete has the opportunity for personal growth and to achieve their full potential. His friendly and professional approach ensures that you feel valued, supported, and encouraged throughout your training journey.
How the ADP Training Process Works
The ADP blends in-person and remote coaching, offering a seamless way to train and access support from anywhere in the world.
SELF-REVIEW
Before your programme begins, Dennis completes a detailed review of your training and competitive journey. You’ll complete a short, athlete‑friendly questionnaire to highlight what’s working, what can be improved, and what you want from the programme.
The questionnaire explores your:
- Competition experience.
- Coaching and support needs.
- Training and performance goals.
- Competition schedule.
- Existing commitments (social, work or holiday).
CONSULTATION
You’ll start with a one‑to‑one discussion with Dennis to explore your training and competition experiences. The aim is to gain a clear understanding of your goals and what success looks like for you.
By the end of this phase, you’ll have:
- A clear breakdown of your challenges and opportunities.
- A personalised performance map.
- Objectives for the upcoming programme.
- A customisable athlete journal.
Together, we’ll outline the next steps and shape the approach that best supports your goals.
TRAINING
Training will focus on working together to achieve your goals. You’ll have access to a range of support resources.
This includes:
- Pre-session and follow-up support.
- Instant video analysis with friendly, constructive feedback.
- Progress tracking for tricks and rides against performance norms
The approach is friendly, motivating, and accountable, helping you stay on track and perform at your best.
SUPPORT
Dennis provides in‑person and live online sessions covering all aspects of training and competition practice. This helps you build new habits, strengthen decision‑making, and expand your capacity to guide your own development.
This Includes:
- Online live coaching (1hr/session).
- Weekly, fortnightly, or monthly check-ins.
- Quick response video reviews (within 2hrs).
- Open communication via app or calls.
Regular programme reviews are built into your check‑ins, ensuring your training stays aligned with your goals and adapts as you progress.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Alongside the ongoing reviews throughout your programme, the end‑of‑programme review brings everything together with:
- A clear breakdown of how you’ve improved across key performance metrics.
- A comprehensive debrief covering your achievements, areas for improvement, and key takeaways.
- Strategies to support your long-term success, and future development.
You finish the programme with clarity, confidence, and a clear path for your next steps.

In-Person Training
Your in‑person training is designed to give you the right balance of focused coaching and supportive peer learning. We use flexible coach‑to‑athlete ratios so you get the attention you need while still benefiting from training with others. Most sessions run at a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio, which creates a productive environment and allows for realistic practice scenarios.
You can choose a private one‑to‑one session or work one‑to‑one with your personal coach while training alongside other athletes on the programme. Dennis will switch between individual and small‑group work to give you exactly what you need at each stage of your development. This approach keeps your training personal, adaptable, and fully aligned with your goals.
