Welcome to my corner of the internet! I’m Cheryl, a cycling, triathlon, and mindset coach with over 25 years of experience. My mission is to help people unlock their potential and achieve their goals in sports and life.

My Journey and Background

Cycling has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. From childhood rides to competing at the highest levels, the sport has instilled in me the values of persistence, discipline, and the power of community. Over the years, I’ve raced across disciplines, proudly represented my country, and earned medals on the world stage.

 

Transitioning from athlete to coach allowed me to channel my experiences into helping others unlock their potential. With a Bachelor’s in Sports Coaching/Administration, an Advanced (Gold) AusCycling Coaching Accreditation, and Results Coach Certification, I take a holistic approach that blends physical performance strategies with mindset development. My philosophy is simple: every person’s journey is unique, and my role is to guide you toward your goals with personalised support and proven methods.

Coaching Experience

Throughout my coaching career, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from around the globe, guiding them to achieve remarkable milestones. My clients have accomplished incredible feats—from completing local cycling sportives and triathlons, competing on international teams, and participating in world championships.

From beginners building their fitness to seasoned athletes striving for a competitive edge, my coaching is tailored to meet each person’s unique needs. Whether you’re aiming for peak athletic performance or seeking personal transformation, my approach is designed to help you succeed and thrive. We’ll create a personalised plan aligned with your goals, equipping you with the skills, confidence, and mindset to unlock your potential and achieve lasting results.

Athletic achievements

As a passionate athlete, I’ve been honoured to represent Australia twice at the World Masters Championships on the Velodrome, where I earned six medals. My competitive journey extends to the National Road Series (NRS) and mountain biking, where I proudly clinched the NSW State Downhill Series. Beyond competition, adventure racing keeps me fit and fuels my love for exploring new and exciting places, blending performance with the thrill of discovery.

My passion for coaching

While I’ve achieved many milestones as an athlete, my true passion lies in helping others discover their potential and thrive. Coaching allows me to share my knowledge, experience, and love for sports with individuals ready to pursue their dreams. Whether guiding someone to their first race finish line, helping a cyclist conquer a challenging climb, or seeing a client overcome mental barriers, I find joy in every step of their journey.

My passion for coaching lies not just in achieving results but in the transformative power of sport. It’s about building confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose—values that extend far beyond athletic performance. My mission is to empower every person I coach to thrive in sports and life.

Success Stories

I began working with Cheryl during a challenging time in my career when I felt stuck and unsure of my next steps. From our first session, Cheryl helped me recognise the importance of perspective in overcoming obstacles. She quickly identified alternative solutions, allowing me to shift my mindset from focusing on setbacks to seeing possibilities for growth and progress.

Cheryl’s unwavering commitment to her coaching is evident in her personalised approach. She dedicates herself fully to her clients, always eager to learn and explore new strategies to support our success. This passion and dedication significantly impacted my journey toward clarity and fulfilment.

What stands out most is Cheryl’s genuine care for her clients. She creates a supportive environment that uplifts and empowers those around her, ensuring her care is respected and valued.

Thanks to Cheryl, I now feel equipped to tackle challenges in my career and life. I am incredibly thankful for her guidance and support throughout this transformative process!

SARAH

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Cheryl for the past 18 months, and I can confidently say that her coaching has been transformative for me as an athlete. When we started, I had an audacious goal of completing a 220km event, but I was very sceptical about whether Cheryl could get me fit enough to achieve it—or even if I could complete the event.

Cheryl’s exceptional listening skills were instrumental in our journey together. She took the time to understand my concerns, goals, and challenges, which made our coaching sessions incredibly productive. Her empathy sets her apart; she genuinely cares about my progress and well-being, creating a supportive environment where I feel comfortable sharing my struggles and victories.

What impressed me most was Cheryl’s remarkable ability to communicate and provide guidance. She broke down complex concepts into manageable steps, always motivating me to push beyond my limits. Thanks to her insightful feedback and clear instructions, I achieved my goal of completing the 220km event and enjoyed the entire journey of building my fitness and knowledge along the way.

Working with Cheryl has been a joy, and I look forward to continuing our journey together!

CLAYTON

Working with you has truly been a game-changer for me. You have provided me with additional tools that have helped me maintain a healthy and balanced gym routine—not just focused on lifting weights. Your approach has inspired me to embrace a more well-rounded fitness lifestyle, which I truly appreciate.

Thank you for your guidance and support!

Hi Cheryl,

I had a fantastic time at the tour over the weekend! I completed my first-ever crit race and road race, and I was pretty happy just to finish. My best stage was the time trial, where I came in fifth, which I consider a great achievement!

I genuinely believe your course helped me prepare for these events. I felt much more confident, especially when navigating downhills and fast corners. Overall, I came sixth in the general classification out of ten, which I think is pretty good for my first tour.

Thank you for your support and guidance!

TARA

Thank you so much for your great instruction! I gained a lot from our sessions and truly appreciate your guidance.

I look forward to learning more from you in the near future!
