Level 3 British Cycling MTB & Road Coach, based in Sheffield, Yorkshire.   I am an experienced cycling coach & bike racer. Over the last 12 years I have worked with a wide range of athletes. Competitive cyclists racing at a good national level as well as beginners & leisure riders.  

 

MTB Skills Coaching

 

I provide MTB skills coaching at Grenoside Woods, Sheffield as well as at local bike parks and on natural trails. I run a range of MTB skills courses. Jumping, technical descending, beginners courses, as well as junior & female only sessions. You can also book a private session for individuals or groups.

 

Cycling Fitness Coaching

 

I provide coaching support to cover all the elements in improving cycling fitness or preparing for an event:  

 

  • Tailored training plan
  • Technical & tactical skills
  • Monitoring performance benchmarks
  • Strength training plan
  • Preparing for an event

 

My racing background is in endurance cycling (Road, MTB XC & Cyclocross), and also gravity MTB. I have raced national level events in all of these disciplines.   I am an experienced coach with junior riders. Providing, appropriate training and guidance to ensure long term development. I have specific skills working with young riders to help them to engage & get the most out of the sport.   I work with leisure cyclists as well to help maintain & develop fitness for health & wellbeing. An important part of this is maintaining motivation and ensuring riders avoid injury.   My training packages aim to provide an affordable level of support & include basic strength training plans, to improve muscle power & avoid injury.
