My coaching approach is built on two things: connection and science. I dive deep into data using tools like WKO5 and TrainingPeaks to help each athlete train smarter, not just harder. But numbers are only part of the story, the real progress comes from a strong athlete-coach relationship. I work closely with each athlete to understand their goals, lifestyle, and motivation, then I build a plan we both believe in.

My cycling journey started in 1981 on a BMX, crashing often but learning fast. I moved into mountain biking in the ‘90s, winning South African National Champs in 1997 (XCO Expert Men), multiple South African Cup winner and the African Continental Champs in 2016 (XCO Sub Vet). These experiences have helped develop my deep love for the sport and a practical understanding of performance that I now share through coaching and writing.

I coach road cyclists, mountain bikers, triathletes, from beginners to elites. I love helping beginners build confidence and fitness, and love guiding people as they reclaim their health and reach for new goals. I love seeing elites reach their podiums and attain their personal bests, and everyone in between. Every program is custom, based on your ability, availability, and goals. I’m there to give feedback, adjust the plan, and support you every step of the way. If you’re ready to take that first step or level up your training, let’s chat.
