Andy is a Sport & Exercise Scientist, fully qualified and experienced cycling coach, personal trainer and gym instructor. He spent 3 years on the road riding for a UCI cycling team and 7 years as a BC Elite rider.
After graduating in 2020 with first-class honours in his Sport & Exercise Sciences BSc, he continued to pursue his interest in research in the field of sport science alongside setting up his coaching business, ATP Performance, and working for USA-based firm, Wahoo Sports Science. He balanced this with racing at international level, competing in prestigious events such as the Tour of Britain and the Volta a Portugal.
Now working full-time as a self-employed coach, Andy is also spending more time writing articles relating to sport science and coaching whilst occasionally working on freelance research projects. He has a passion for good coffee and enjoys perfecting his latte art, café cruising, walking with his dog in the Herefordshire countryside and spending time in the gym in an attempt to wave goodbye to his cyclist’s upper body.
