New Beginnings 🖤 As the year closes, I step into a new role as Lead Strength & Conditioning Coach with the Decathlon CMA CGM WorldTour Cycling Team, whilst also beginning a new chapter of life living in Barcelona.
This role is the outcome of years spent sticking to my values and doing the basics properly. Learning and teaching how to prepare athletes to tolerate high training loads, stay available across long seasons and perform when fatigue and pressure are unavoidable. Professional cycling doesn’t need fancy gimmicks, it needs simple and purposeful training that holds up week after week.
The path here wasn’t straightforward. There were points where decisions were questioned, by others and by myself with times where progress felt slower than expected. Those moments forced better thinking, better structure and clearer standards of how to manage athletes which ultimately mattered more than fads or quick wins.
I’m grateful to the people who have inspired me, challenged me, trusted me and opened all the doors of opportunity along the way. Each of you have played a role in reaching this point and that won’t be forgotten.
I’ve always believed I could make a meaningful contribution to the sport. Now I have the responsibility and the platform to do so alongside a high quality group of riders and staff.
Heres to 2026 and continuing to be a force for good. The focus is simple. Do the work, raise the standard and deliver consistently to develop stronger and more powerful athletes.
