DESTINATION UNKNOWN is first and foremost a group of people who revolve around one concept: striving to improve and progress, but without losing sight of the values that underpin the sport for us. Respect for these values, as well as for people, their ideas, and their individuality, is the foundation of everything we do. For us, the coach-athlete relationship, and that between our athletes, is an integral part of the process, which is why we try to be present at competitions, organize our Long Runs, and set up Camps: to share the journey as much as possible, and to do so while having fun.
Do you have special needs? Not sure what to expect from coaching? Just want some advice?
Write to us at info@ducoaching.com and let’s talk about it!
Above all, we believe in individuality: we are all unique in some way, and we respond differently to different stimuli.
That’s why we only offer 1-on-1 coaching, so we can best develop each athlete’s potential: only in this way can the scientific knowledge base on which we rely be adapted in practice to the needs of each individual, drawing on years of experience as coaches, but also as athletes. Collecting data, knowing how to analyze it, and tailoring a plan to the athlete in front of us.
You will never see us espouse a single philosophy or repeat the same approach over and over again: our interest is in the long-term development of an athlete, and to do this we are willing to change our approach if it gives us the chance to progress: our professionalism must be nurtured and nourished by keeping up to date with methodologies and everything related to performance, always putting the physical and mental well-being of athletes first. We don’t want results tomorrow, we want a better runner in X years.
We work with athletes of all levels and ages and with different goals. We don’t sell the impossible; we are interested in progressing together, because we believe that the growth of the athlete is also the growth of the coach.
