Thanks to the votes received from other USA Cycling certified coaches, I was recently elected to the coach’s position on the USA Cycling Mountain Bike Committee. The committee exists to guide US mountain bike racing in the right direction and is comprised of eleven representatives, all coming from various realms within the sport.
I’m excited for this opportunity to serve USA Cycling members I and look forward to ensuring a healthy future for our sport. The first meeting that I’ll be attending will be October 10-12 in Colorado Springs. As part of my nomination, here is the statement that I included:
“As an active USAC Level I coach and professional mountain bike racer, I am interested in fulfilling the ‘Coach’ position on the Mountain Bike Committee. Having the opportunity to work with juniors, seniors and masters alike, all of who compete at various levels and in various disciplines of our sport, I am highly motivated to serve USA Cycling members and ensure a healthy future for mountain bike racing. It is important to me personally and professionally that USA Cycling serves the needs of its members and provides quality experiences for all of us to enjoy over the long-term. As a full-time cycling coach who participates in races across the country it will be my goal to provide feedback and direction as to how USAC can improve upon its own work. I am particularly interested in rider development and the pathways which exist for racers who are aspiring to compete on the National team. I appreciate your consideration and wish you the best of rides.”
