Are you a cyclist with time constraints, who lacks the structure and knowledge to improve fitness and racing? 

Perhaps you’re well acquainted with time spent inside the bunting, but you’re looking to take a big step to perform on a national level, or represent at the highest world level in the Green and Gold?

Regardless of whether the sport of cycling is fresh for you or a world you’re very familiar with watts and warm-ups, Grit Coaching has the insight and experience to get you in your best form, at the right time.

We believe in a holistic approach that includes fitness and skill-based sessions on the bike in addition to working on other crucial aspects of bike racing such as nutrition, psychology, recovery, pre-race preparation and post-race analysis. While analysing data is important, it's just as important to have the other pieces of the puzzle working cohesively to allow the athlete the best possible chance of success.

We also understand the daily grind of balancing work and parenting with training, as well as the unique challenges of study, shift work and all the other ‘life stress’ that we all have to manage alongside our training commitments.

Whether you're riding for fitness, the local club series, stepping up to a state or domestic level or even targeting an international campaign, I can help you become fitter and faster than ever before.

 

With a huge affinity for all things…gritty, Grit specialises in the dirtier disciplines of cycling including:

  1. Cross-country 

  2. Cross-country marathon 

  3. Gravity Enduro

  4. Downhill and

  5. Cyclocross

Head Coach

Hi, I am Anna Beck, Level 2 NCAS accredited coach, mother, cyclist, writer and health care professional; but not necessarily in that order.

I realised coaching was my purpose in life when I began to take on a small number of athletes while training hard to compete in the Australian national series. Developing my own knowledge and coaching style I have coached athletes to strong world-level performances, and developed personally into a National Champion and Australian Team member; and I attribute a huge chunk of my success to my training philosophy, and being inspired everyday by my coached athletes.

My coaching principles are grounded in inclusivity, progress and fun; and I coach a range of athletes that represents these values!
