Olympic Development Programme
Story posted August 17, 2010
The Great Britain Cycling Team's Olympic Development Programme (ODP) is recruiting for Road, Track (endurance and sprint), BMX and Cross Country Mountain biking. There is a no closed door policy so for riders that are unsuccessful at this stage, there could, if performing at a high level, potentially be opportunities to guest with the programme at other times in the year.
For this year’s intake, we are predominantly looking for riders born 1993 and 1994. What the coaches are looking for in athletes is a strong work ethic, self-discipline, commitment and skill. Sheer physical ability is not enough on its own. The willingness to work on weaknesses and an open mind to advice and coaching are essential.
The programme will run on a similar basis to that of 2010 with both national and international training camps and races put in place to gain experience and develop technical, tactical and lifestyle skills. The bulk of the training camps will be run in school holidays, throughout the year.
