What is your motivation behind coaching young girls like Katy?
I think my motivation largely comes from the support I received when I started out. I had so much help and guidance from the MTB community it was overwhelming. I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am today without the support from my friends and I don’t feel I could return what I’ve been given sufficiently back to them. I think the best way to give back is to pass it on to someone else, just like being in a family I guess. Which is what the MTB community is for me, a family. I know how inspiring and warming it feels to have support when you’re young, and it’s great to be in a position (with thanks to all my partners SCOTT, Mudhugger, Ohlins, Hopetech) where I am able to give back to the Future Pros of the sport and my only wish is that I could have more time to do more and support more youngsters.
