In this episode, I’m joined by Dean Downing (IG: @deandowningcycling), former professional rider and founder of Downing Cycling, to explore his journey through the sport and his approach to developing young cyclists.
We discuss:
Dean’s pathway from elite rider to respected coach
How and why he transitioned into coaching
