“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.”

“We’ve worked with Sam for nearly two 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.”

“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 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."
