- Mental Conditioning for Athletes
- A Kick-In-The-Ass

As a Derailleur, I help my clients across North America change their gears, their pace, and their direction. I am the essential piece of equipment to get you where you need to move forward at a different pace and with a different power.

After a good ride, you’re a different person. You’ve changed. You faced a fear. Proved a point. Impressed yourself. It’s like somebody drilling a hole in your brain, inserting all this wonderful scenery, certainty, and freedom. And it forces out the bad stuff. But the ride doesn’t stop when you step off the bike. That’s where I come in…I am here to remind you that you can also change, face fears, prove a point and impress yourself off the bike as well.

Some folks call me a “Life Coach” or a “Head Coach”. But I am more than that. I am all the benefits of a Coach without the annoying whistle some trainers have. I can’t make your body stronger, faster or more flexible but I can help you train your mind to be stronger, faster and more flexible. You are not broken…you don’t need to be fixed. You need support. I do support.

Partnering with Terry Bicycles, we have expanded Ride it Forward so that we’d have a place to post original content about the psychological, emotional, and social aspects relevant to intense exercise or other physical and competitive endeavors. Most of what will happen on this blog, including articles, videos, and pictures, will have some relationship to Cycling. However, there will be something here for you even if you do not consider yourself a Cyclist.  Ride it Forward is a forum where people will be challenged and inspired toward self-reflection and will find ways to make their lives more meaningful. It is a resource for people to learn about sports performance enhancement and access tools to improve training. And I am your tour guide. I won’t always wear the “yellow jersey”…I will invite you, the community to share your stories and wisdom as well. This is a collaboration. Now let’s get going!
