PCS Coaching Philosophy

  • Committed to our role as coaches, we show great drive, passion, persistence, patience and enthusiasm.  
  • We continually strive to learn and impart our knowledge and experience to all athletes in  aspects of rules, technique, training methodologies, sports science, sports psychology and tactics.  
  • We educate athletes in the “process” of performance and take away the focus of outcomes being the main focal point of success.  
  • We establish a good rapport and working relationship with all athletes. 
  • We are flexible and attentive to each individual athlete, as no two athletes are the same. 
  • We are encouraging and give praise and recognition where it is due. 
  • We create an environment that ensures that training experiences are positive and pleasurable experience.  
  • We encourage self-development in all athletes both on and off the bike. 
  • We ensure life skills are not lost to the elite athlete so that athletes are able to establish a career after their athletic career has finished. 
  • We ensure that every opportunity to learn new skills is given to the athletes.  
  • We encourage athletes to participate as equals with an emphasis on respect for each other and instill rules of fair play, including an anti-doping ethic.
  • We follow and adhere to the Cycling Australia's Coaches Code of Ethics.
