Further...
Maybe get your tutor to start researching track training protocols. There is no single right way to train for sprint events at the track. But they all revolve around a core of basic lifts at the gym (squat, dead lift, power clean,...)
Maybe spend the first season riding and racing a lot and find out what suits you. You may like short races, long races, time trials, training in general, all of the above, or none of the above.
To be considered for the US National team you may have to meet certain goals in official time trials. Go here and look on the right side of the page:
http://www.usacycling.org/track/. Stuff like, "Any athlete who rides a flying 200m TT at or faster than 10.280" or "Any athlete who rides a 1km TT at or faster than 1:02.750" There are only a few dudes in the country that can do that.
