About Me
As KOM Coaching, I have over 25 years of experience cycle coaching and always ensure that plans are tailored to your needs.
I also offer Sports Massage Therapy to enhance your recovery, keep you in tip-top condition and improve your general well-being.
Cycling has been my passion for over 40 years. My personal racing highlights include several wins and KOM (King of the Mountains) titles—the inspiration behind "KOM Coaching"—as well as top-10 finishes at the Masters National Road Championships and two top-10s at the Masters World Track Championships.
My drive to maximize my own performance naturally evolved into a passion for coaching. Since qualifying 25 years ago, I have coached countless individuals and groups, both in person and remotely. My experience ranges from teaching core skills to schools and individuals of all abilities to prescribing elite training plans for sportive riders, ultra-cyclists, and international road racers. I also have extensive experience as a ride leader for cycling holiday companies and training camps.
My interest in sports massage therapy began years ago, inspired by how professional soigneurs help Tour de France riders recover from extreme physical stress. After years of self-study and helping teammates with pre- and post-event recovery—and experiencing various therapies myself for racing injuries—I formally qualified as a Sports Massage Therapist to round out my holistic approach to athlete care.
