Working remotely for a company based in the United States has been both incredibly challenging and rewarding. I am tasked to respond to emails from athletes whilst having a vast knowledge of cycling coaching, understanding human physiology and working through technical issues they may face.

I was the Assistant Head Coach at St. Alban's College to the current Head Coach of the South African rowing team, Tiago Loureiro.
