ABOUT ME

I’m a UK-based cycling coach and the founder of Mudiiita Coaching. I work with cyclists across disciplines and levels, supporting riders from juniors and U23s through to elite athletes, both male and female, to develop not just as riders but as confident, healthy people.

My coaching is shaped by over 15 years spent racing professionally at the highest level of the sport. During that time, I competed across multiple cycling disciplines — including road, cyclo-cross, mountain bike and track — at World Cup, European, World Championship and Olympic level. I represented Team GB at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and raced for some of the world’s leading teams.

I began cycling through local cyclo-cross races in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire as a junior, before progressing through the British Cycling talent pathway and into professional racing. That journey gave me a deep understanding of what it truly takes to develop as a cyclist — physically, mentally and emotionally — and why effective coaching is about far more than simply following a training plan.

Since retiring from professional racing in 2019, I’ve focused on building Mudiiita Coaching into a supportive and successful coaching environment. I feel privileged to work with a wide range of athletes across different disciplines, helping each rider find the approach that works best for them.

Coaching and mentoring have become my passion. I know first-hand the impact that the right people can have on an athlete’s confidence, wellbeing and long-term enjoyment of the sport. Without the guidance and support I received throughout my career, I would never have achieved what I did — and that experience underpins everything I do as a coach.

I understand the demands of different cycling disciplines, the differences between male and female physiology, and the mindset required to progress and stay engaged in the sport. My aim is to inspire, coach and mentor the next generation of cyclists, using my experience to help create happy, healthy and motivated bike riders.
