Michael Guilford   Rideabout

Bio

Michael takes a creative, athlete-centered approach to coaching, helping athletes find their inner source of motivation to achieve their goals. He uses knowledge from a wide range of sources, not just his racing experience.

"My aim is to be both an innovative and grounded support for riders. I have the persistence to stick at something and I am also ready to take a different angle on a problem.

My coaching philosophy is an athlete-centred one, I aim to draw from the rider the motivation and resources needed to achieve at the level they want to. I dont take a one-size fits all approach to coaching, as every rider has a different set core needs.

I am always looking to further my skills as a coach, by presenting myself with new learning oppurtunities and challenges. I take an interest in sports science literature and technilogical advances of cycling."
