At Optimum Coaching It’s all about you.

​

Having competed for nearly 15 years and risen through the club, regional, national and then international ranks as a youth, junior and then senior I have experienced first-hand the challenges of balancing first studies, then work and then both with training, racing and reaching my goals. I know that without the right guidance and coaching I would never have reached my goals. 

I started coaching after pursing a passion in sport science and exercise physiology. Athletes are all unique and it intrigued (and still does) me by devising specific protocols to maximise performance and reach true athletic potential. I now live in Belgium after having spent the last few years on the professional racing circuit. Being a part of the professional peloton, I have my finger on the pulse of new technologies and practices as they appear and mature.

The last 6+ years of coaching athletes from across the world at a beginner to professional level has given me a unique understanding on what makes a specific individual tick and how to build the optimal training environment and stimulus for them. Over these years I have helped riders gain professional contracts, ride at the world tour level and worked with multiple national federations as coach and performance consultant.

I can offer world class coaching, unique support and motivation without the big ticket price. With 3 different levels of coaching I can accommodate individual needs from Youth to professional, from TT newbie to TT contender and from social rider to Weekend Sportive Warrior. 

I favour Training Peaks software for easy delivery of the coaching and joint understanding. The WK05 analytic software is then used to allow us to delve much deeper into the data and get a true understanding of your unique physiology.

Optimum Coaching also offers a specific Youth and Junior package to allow young riders access to structured training and coaching to really help to achieve their full potential. t. 

I look forward to hearing from you and helping your cycling journey, wherever and however high it may take you…

It’s all about you.
