Cycling Coaching
Coaching that looks at more than the numbers.
Your training should be built around you.
Whether you're racing at the highest level, preparing for an event that matters to you, working towards a personal goal or simply wanting to see what you're capable of, effective coaching starts with understanding where you are now and where you want to go.
At Cassiopeia Performance, coaching is about more than prescribing sessions.
It's about understanding the individual behind the athlete — your goals, experience, strengths, limitations, lifestyle, mindset and the demands of your life alongside training.
From there, we build a plan that is purposeful, adaptable and specific to you.

A few things you might be wondering
-
I coach cyclists across road, track, mountain bike and gravel — from those competing at an elite and professional level to those pursuing meaningful personal performance goals.
Whatever your discipline or level, coaching is individualised around your experience, your goals and what you're working towards.
-
Yes. I’m based in Sydney, Australia, and coach athletes all over the world. Coaching is delivered remotely through TrainingPeaks, with regular communication and feedback to keep your training personalised and responsive.
-
Absolutely. You don’t need to wait for the start of a new season. We’ll look at where you are now, what you’ve already done, and what you’re working towards, then build the next phase of training around your goals.
-
The right level of coaching depends on your goals, experience and how much support you’re looking for. If you’re unsure, get in touch and we can work out which option is the best fit for you.
-
We’ll start with an initial conversation to get to know you, understand your goals and talk about what you’re looking for from coaching.
You’ll then complete a questionnaire covering your cycling and training history, goals, available training time and any relevant injuries or other considerations. We’ll connect your TrainingPeaks account to mine, and from there I’ll start planning your training around you and what you want to achieve.
Your first program will usually be uploaded within a week, although this can vary depending on when you get in touch and where you are in your training cycle.
-
Communication is ongoing throughout your coaching. You’ll receive regular feedback on your training, and we’ll stay in contact through TrainingPeaks to discuss how you’re progressing, what’s working and anything that needs to change.
The level of communication will also depend on the coaching package you choose, with more comprehensive packages offering a higher level of support and contact.
-
Absolutely. Training needs to work alongside your life, not the other way around. If work, family, travel, illness, fatigue or other commitments affect your ability to train, we can adjust your program to suit what’s happening.
Your training is reviewed regularly, and changes can be made to keep you progressing while making sure the plan remains realistic and sustainable.
-
A power meter can be a valuable tool for cycling training, but it isn’t essential. Training can be tailored around the data and equipment you have available, including heart rate, perceived effort and speed.
The Cassiopeia Approach
UNDERSTAND
Where are you now?
We start by understanding you.
Your experience, training history, current performance, goals, lifestyle, strengths and areas you want to develop.
This creates the foundation for everything that follows.
IDENTIFY
What's holding you back?
Sometimes the answer is obvious. Sometimes it isn't.
We look beyond the obvious to identify the factors that may be limiting your performance — whether that's physical capacity, training structure, recovery, confidence, consistency, competing demands or simply knowing where to focus your effort.
BUILD
What do you need to develop?
With a clear understanding of where you are and where you want to go, we build the physical and mental capabilities required to move forward.
Training is purposeful rather than simply busy.
Every session has a reason.
PERFORM
How do we turn that into meaningful progress?
Training only matters if it helps you perform.
We continually assess, adapt and refine your approach so that your training translates into the performance you are working towards — whether that's winning races, achieving a personal best, performing at an important event or simply reaching a level you didn't think was possible.
