Honest conversations
I’ll support you through difficult weeks and challenge you when it helps. In return, I need honest feedback about what is happening.
Meet your coach
I’m Henry.
Here’s how I coach.
I’ve spent over 18 years in cycling as a rider, coach and sports director, and have coached professionally since 2019. I work with people preparing for their first big challenge through to national and international competition.

My coaching philosophy
Understand the person.
Then build the approach.
There is no single system that works for every rider.
I want to know what you enjoy about riding, what you’re aiming for and what else is going on in your life. A plan that looks good on paper only helps if you can put it into practice.
I use training data and sports science to guide the work, but I also listen to how you feel and watch how you respond. If something isn’t working, we look at why and change it. I don’t expect every rider to fit the same system.
I care about results, and I enjoy seeing riders achieve things they’ve worked hard for. I also value the confidence to try a new race, the judgement to ease off when you need to, and the understanding to make more of your own decisions.
What that looks like
Support, honest feedback and room to learn.
Learning through doing
We set a direction, try things, reflect and adjust. Setbacks can teach us something without defining the season.
Growing independence
Over time, you should understand more about what works for you and feel more confident making decisions. That is part of what I want coaching to give you.
Experience
Over 18 years in the sport.
I’ve experienced cycling from both sides of the coaching relationship. That helps me understand the commitment behind a goal, the nerves before an event and the patience it takes to improve.

My racing background
I spent five years as an Elite rider, racing in the UK, Belgium, France and Spain achieving multiple national wins across disciplines.
As a tandem pilot, I became a national para road champion, raced UCI World Cups and was a member of the Great Britain Cycling Team’s paracycling Foundation Squad.
Those experiences help to inform my coaching, while your goals and lifestyle shape how we work together.
