A BIT ABOUT ME
I am a Level 3 UCI Certified Coach & UCI Certified Sporting Director. My coaching philosophy captures the dynamic and evolving nature of the process. I see myself as both a teacher and a learner, with curiosity and shared energy at the heart of what I do. Training plans form the foundation, but I encourage deeper engagement from athletes, creating an open environment where both they and I can grow together. This approach fosters mutual growth, exploration, and continuous learning, allowing every athlete and myself to expand beyond the structure of the plan. I place great emphasis on what I call "environmental engagement," which I divide into three interconnected parts:
Self Engagement – This is how you connect with your mind, body, and bike. It involves mastering the art of using your bike as an extension of yourself, achieving optimal propulsion and flow through effective self-awareness and control.
Elemental Engagement – This refers to your interaction with the physical course and weather conditions. Once you’ve mastered self engagement, you can begin to tackle the challenges presented by the terrain and atmosphere, developing strategies to perform at your best in any static environment.
Relational Engagement – This is the dynamic element involving the people around you, both teammates and competitors. It’s about navigating the mental and physical interplay between yourself and others. With strong self and static engagements, you are better prepared to manage the complexities of competing, collaborating, and adapting to the behavior and tactics of those around you.
