The influence Nick has had on my career is unrivalled. The attention to detail I have experienced on and off the bike is what makes Nick the coach and person he is. From understanding what makes me ‘tick’ to the pre-race speeches that get me fired up to perform. I believe Nick’s background in a range of Olympic sports and team-orientated sports only adds to the expertise, connections and proven sports science he specialises in.
The detail and connection established with athletes on a personal level allow Nick to assist me on the highest level. From constant daily communication (I’m a very needy athlete), whether it’s explaining training sessions, following up multiple times a day/feedback on sessions or talking about off-bike events. Nick ultimately understands who I am as a person and can get the most out of me.
I’m a firm believer in “a happy athlete, is a fast athlete” and Nick shares the same beliefs.
I believe true coaching isn’t just about the numbers but connections with the athletes on a personal level and that’s where Nick excels.
To have worked with Nick for 10 years has allowed us to form a relationship that now achieves success at the highest of stages… It’s been an incredible journey and one that will continue for my career. Whether that be at the Olympics, World championships or winning multiple National championships together. It’s a journey we share and one that I know is only going to allow us to reach the top level of this sport.
There is no one I would rather have in my corner and anyone would be lucky to call Nick their coach.
