Coaching for Cyclists who want to progress, perform, and stay healthy - backed by physiotherapy expertise and results at the highest level.
From return to sport after injury to long-term performance progression for cyclists and athletes.
Results speak louder
“Sam coached me for just under two years, during which we achieved a number of major successes. One standout result was winning the Yorkshire U23 Classic National Series round — a key personal goal made possible through Sam’s knowledge, planning, and experience.
Throughout our time working together, I felt consistently strong on the bike, achieving multiple wins and podiums and earning my elite licence.
What really sets Sam apart is his understanding that coaching goes beyond numbers on a page. Whether dealing with work pressures, setbacks, or illness, Sam was always approachable, supportive, and genuinely invested in my progress. I always felt comfortable discussing anything that might affect my performance, which made a huge difference both as an athlete and as a person.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sam to any athlete looking for a coach who delivers results while genuinely caring about their development and wellbeing.”
Sam Clarke, U23 British Series Round Winner
“I worked with Sam in the 2 year build to the 2022 Commonwealth Games. His coaching is truly science-based, backed by real experience racing and training at the highest level — and that really shows. He’s always available to help with questions or issues, which made it far easier to train around work and life commitments. Brilliant coaching from someone who has genuinely been there and cares deeply about helping you reach your goals.”
Rhys Pilley, Commonwealth Games athlete
🎯 You’re time limited, and key decisions feel high-stakes - how hard to push, when to recover, and what actually matters
📈 You’re keen to develop and maximise your potential in the sport, and can’t afford to waste training cycles
🔍 You’re keen to leave no stone unturned, and want decisions guided by experience rather than trial and error
🔁 You’ve returned to training after injury, but issues reappear as load increases
😵💫 You’re injured, ill, or constantly fatigued, and training never quite builds momentum
🛠️ You’re post-surgery or post-major injury, progressing without clear benchmarks for readiness
These situations call for clear decision-making and structured progression — not guesswork.
You’re in the right place if…
How I work
I've coached athletes from club level to Commonwealth Games. The approach is the same - remove the guesswork, master the basics without getting lost in the detail, make the right call at the right time.
Clear priorities 🎯
I help athletes identify what matters most right now, rather than trying to optimise everything at once.
Smarter training decisions 📊
Training decisions are guided by load tolerance, recovery, and context — so progress is deliberate, not reactive.
Robust, resilient health 🛡️
Pain, niggles, and capacity are addressed without over-medicalising or chasing minor asymmetries, keeping focus on availability and performance.
Sustainable progression 📈
Performance is built with the long term in mind — avoiding short-term fixes that improve metrics now but cost consistency later.
Depending on where you are right now, you can explore support in one of two areas:
Results speak louder
“We’ve worked with Sam for nearly three years, during which he’s consistently shown a deep understanding of our coaching requirements. His approach is flexible when needed around life commitments, while remaining focused, supportive, and performance-driven.
Sam encourages achievable short-term goals that build towards bigger objectives, and the training programme has evolved whenever necessary to support continued progress. His real-world experience — both as an athlete and a coach — is evident throughout the process, balancing what’s required for high performance with what’s realistic and sustainable.”
David Tulett, father of coached youth rider Douglas RTTC junior champion of champions winner
"Sam was everything I could ask for in a coach: knowledgeable, aspirational, and deeply grounded in the latest training data and methods. As I evolved as an athlete, he continually refined my program to ensure I was always being challenged. Just as importantly, he was friendly, approachable, and genuinely supportive—no question was ever too small."
