Women-Specific Coaching

It Never Gets Easier, You Just Go Faster

— Greg LeMond

From junior riders to women of every age: want to improve your cycling skills, learn new ones, build endurance and power, or simply understand the sport better? All you need is consistent training and a good coach.

I know training consistently isn’t easy — especially when you’re balancing work, kids, a family, and a home. But with the right mindset, a plan built around your life, and support from the people around you, the more you train, the better it gets.

Set a goal. Get the right plan and a coach who understands you. Then become the best version of yourself.

Road, Mountain Bike & Triathlon

Road Mountain Bike Triathlon

When a woman sets her mind on something, she achieves it. Female champions across road, mountain bike, triathlon, downhill and beyond rarely have an easy road — but they share one thing: determination.

Work, biological cycles, children, family and home all compete for your time and energy. My plans account for that, so you can become one of the fittest versions of yourself.

More Than Riding a Bike

Most of us learned to ride as kids — but being an amateur, master or professional cyclist is very different. It takes patience, endurance, commitment, and consistency, along with many hours of training guided by an experienced, educated coach. Even the pros you see on TV train daily in sync with their coaches.

The Importance of Training

Training comes in many levels, and finding the right balance for you is key. Combined with proper rest, consistent training:

01 Increases your cycling endurance
02 Improves your cardiovascular system
03 Helps with weight loss and metabolic efficiency
04 Loosens stiffness in muscles and joints
05 Strengthens your bones
06 Makes your body more flexible

The Importance of a Coach

Beginners, masters and professionals all benefit from coaching. You can achieve a lot on your own — but to become an excellent cyclist, you need someone in your corner.

Motivation & Encouragement Someone pushing you forward when it gets hard.
Monitoring & Guidance Every part of your training followed and guided step by step.
Conquering Weak Points Finding your limiters and working on them together.
Avoiding Overtraining Regulating your load so you don’t dig yourself into a hole.

“A problem shared is a problem solved.”

A Plan Built Around All of You

02 Psychological
03 Biological
