Thanks for stopping by! I am a professional cycling coach who will work closely with you to achieve your goals. Coaching is an art and a science, with the athlete in the centre. You will get as much out of it as you put into it. Read on to find out more about my experience and impact as a coach.

More about Deena:

  • More than a decade of coaching experience on road, track, CX and gravel
  • Nominated for 2019 ‘Talent Development Coach of the Year’
  • Exceptional people skills, able to connect with most athletes and work with athletes to understand and address performance blockers
  • Athletes report a high level of satisfaction in the process and results, as well as enjoyment working with Deena as a coach (assessed through annual review and exit questionnaires)

Examples of coaching impact:

  • Within 5 months of coaching a new rider, produced up to 30% improvements across power durations, resulting in substantial performance gains in the UK national crit series and overall 8th in national standings
  • Contracted by a UCI Women World Tour team to provide in-person 1:1 technical skills coaching. Used a constraints based approach (using ski goggles to restrict peripheral vision) to help the rider to find her limits and make significant improvements on power transfer, bike handling, and descending.
  • Coached a cycling climber to develop into a USA criterium racer capable of short, repeatable, explosive anaerobic efforts
