Work With Me
A structured performance system for riders preparing to enter or already operating within the EMX, SMX Next and Professional pathways
At higher levels of competition, performance rarely breaks because of effort or lack of ability.
It breaks because execution becomes harder to repeat when consequence increases.
As riders move into EMX, MXGP, SMX and other high pressure environments, margins shrink. Points matter. Contracts matter. Selection matters. Small errors carry weight.
At this stage, the issue is not learning what to do.
It is whether existing ability can be accessed reliably when it matters.
Most riders I work with already know they are fast.
What they sometimes lack is clarity around why that speed does not always show up on race day.
Riders usually come to me when
​
• You feel there’s more there, but it’s not showing on race day
• You’re fast in practice, but something changes when it matters
• You keep making mistakes, crashing, or forcing things
• You want to find the next level, but don’t know what’s missing
• You’re stepping into a higher level and things aren’t holding
• Something feels off, but you can’t explain what it is
​
What it looks like on the surface is rarely the real issue.
That’s where my work begins.
​
How I work
Most riders arrive with a clear problem, even if they cannot fully explain it.
My role is not to add more information.
It is to understand what is actually happening, and why performance is not holding when it matters.
​
What’s happening → What I observe → What’s actually causing it → What changes next
​
1. What’s happening
The visible problem.
Results, mistakes, pressure, inconsistency, hesitation, crashes, or a feeling that something is not holding when it matters.
​
2. What I observe
I look at how you actually ride and respond.
Training behaviour
Race behaviour
Decision making under pressure
Technical execution
Environment around you
Patterns over time
​
3. What’s actually causing it
This is the part most people miss.
What looks like:
• a confidence issue
• a speed issue
• a mental block
Is often something else entirely.
My role is to identify the real limiting factor.
​
4. What changes next
Once that is clear, everything becomes simpler.
You get:
• a clear direction
• what needs to change first
• what to stop forcing
• what actually builds stability
​
What happens after that
There is no fixed programme.
Everything is built around the rider.
​
Based on what is actually limiting performance, I shape a programme that fits:
​
• your current level
• the demands you are stepping into
• what needs to be stabilised first
• how you respond under pressure
• your training and race environment
​
This might involve:
​
• technical adjustments where control is being lost
• changes to how race situations are approached and managed
• reducing pressure that is interfering with execution
• improving how decisions are made under stress
• building specific skills before exposure to higher demand
• restructuring how your current programme is working
​
The focus is always the same:
Build something that holds under pressure, not just in practice.
​
Working within teams and existing structures
My work is designed to sit alongside what already exists.
I do not replace:
• riding coaches
• trainers
• team staff
I work within the system to identify what is not being seen and to stabilise performance where it matters.
​
Where a rider already has a coach or structured programme, I do not interfere with that.
My role is to bring clarity to how performance is actually being experienced and where it is breaking down.
​
Where direct input on riding is required, I am able to step in at that level.
But this is always done within the context of the wider system, not as isolated coaching.
​
The focus is not on adding more voices.
It is on making what is already there work properly.
​
Race Control
Race Control is the structured 3 stage online system behind how performance is stabilised across a race weekend.
It is not a routine or checklist.
​
It is a way of:
• preparing correctly
• managing what happens during the race
• resetting between motos
• maintaining clarity when importance increases
​
It is introduced when appropriate, based on the rider and their current situation.
​
Who this is for
• Riders moving toward serious competition
• Riders preparing for EMX, Supercross, Futures, or professional level
• Riders who feel something is not adding up
• Riders who want clarity, not more noise
​
Who this is not for
• Casual riders
• People looking for quick fixes
• People not ready to look at what is actually happening
​
​
​
If you’re not sure where to start
There are two ways to take the first step, depending on what you need.
​
Understand how this works
If you’re unsure about my philosophy or how I approach performance, start with the book.
The Inner Circuit for riders
Under Pressure for parents
These explain how performance actually works, why things break down, and how I see the sport differently.
​
​
​
Understand your situation
If you’re unsure about your own pathway, or what is currently limiting performance, the first step is a Pathway Strategy Call.
This is a focused session to:
• look at where you are now
• understand what is actually holding things back
• clarify what needs to change next
​
​
There is no commitment to a programme.
It is simply a way to get clear before deciding anything further.
​
Apply to work with me
If you already recognise what this is and know you need deeper input, you can apply below.
This is not open access. I only work with a limited number of riders.
Applications are reviewed to ensure the right fit for both sides.
​
​
After Applying, what happens next?
​
Once you apply, the process is simple.
​
1. Initial review
​
Your application is reviewed to understand your current level, environment, and what you’re experiencing.
​
2. Clarity call
​
If it looks like a fit, we arrange a call to:
• break down what is actually happening
• identify where performance is breaking down
• determine whether deeper work is required
​
3. Direction
​
From there, one of two things happens:
• You are given a clear direction on what to do next
• Or we move forward into structured work together
​
4. Structure and terms
​
If we decide to work together, the structure, level of involvement, and financial commitment are discussed at that stage.
​
There is no obligation to continue beyond the initial conversation.
​
​
​
Most riders do not need more information.
They need clarity on what is actually happening.
