My name is Glyn and I am the Coach behind WestSide Coaching. Since a very young age I have loved sports of all kinds – Football, Rugby, Cricket, Badminton, Golf, Track and field sports, cross country running and cycling. Each of these sports has different skill sets, this breadth of knowledge helped me understand many different aspects of sports and how some skill sets could be transferred to other sports.

I participated in all of these until I left school to join the RAF as an Aircraft Technician. I loved my time working in the Forces where I continued to play Football, representing my RAF Station every week. Being 164cm and 55-60kg wet through I had to use the skills I learnt as a youngster to overcome my lack of stature on the field. Due to an Anterior Cruciate ligament tear playing football just a few months after leaving the Forces I rode the bike a lot more for my sporting thrill as the knee wasn’t affected by this. It took over 5 yrs to get the knee reconstruction surgery to be able to run again with no issues, by this time I had gone from strength to strength in my cycling to being a 1st Cat rider and gaining a top 10 in the British NationalHill Climb Championships, quickly learning from mistakes and knowing my strengths and weaknesses and trying to play them to my advantage. Since then I have started to coach friends and teammates. Through word of mouth I received more and more requests to Coach others, I then decided to launch WestSide Coaching. Over the years I have helped club riders achieve their Goals, whether that be PB on their local climbs, winning the age group category at the British National Hill Climb Championships and even gaining the British record for Everesting and a top 10 worldwide time, all of these riders have been full time workers with families and cycling is their passion and hobby. 

I am Inspired by what TrueSapien is achieving, a friendly community that inspires their Band of Orange to go for Goals beyond the norm and challenge themselves to be the best they can be.

I can offer TrueSapien members a free 30min consultation via phone and/or a 20% discount on the WKO5 Testing and Annual Review. If you’d like any of these services you can contact me via the website form or via email glyn@westsidecoaching.co.uk
