My involvement with cycle coaching is to ensure that all who work with me have the opportunity to take part, enjoy and develop to the best of their ability.
Where a rider gains enjoyment from winning in sport, I shall assist them in any way that I am empowered to do so. Where a rider’s goals are to improve to a certain level, my level of commitment to the rider shall be of the same standard as those looking to win.
I aim to progress my coaching skills in the same way that I expect riders to progress.
I encourage, support and develop all that I work with, without prejudice, as long as the coach/rider relationship is maintained within acceptable and pre-agreed parameters.
The honest and open commitment that I offer to riders requires a honest and open level of feedback in return.
My coaching is structured and progressive to meet realistic time phased goals. I require a honest and open approach to the execution, recording and participation from the rider.
I ensure that I am never too busy to be unapproachable. Immediate responses sometimes may be impossible but I shall always be mindful of good communications, keeping appointments and providing updates within acceptable boundaries.
I encourage independence and confidence. I encourage riders to become enthusiastic about opportunities to progress. I encourage riders to challenge decisions to help eradicate doubt where possible.
I aim to promote sport. I continue to improve my own coaching skills.
