Meet Coach Nate
Nate English is a former professional cyclist and sought-after performance coach who has worked with top U.S. athletes in the pro peloton. His unique approach combines first-hand experience as an athlete with the latest in sports science research to help you succeed in reaching your full potential.
“
I first got into endurance sports as a runner in high school. I started racing bikes soon after graduating from U.C. Berkeley in 2007. In less than a year, I upgraded to Category 1 and was eventually able to race professionally on a continental domestic team.
As a cyclist, I placed 5th at the U.S. Pro Time Trial, achieved multiple top 5 and top 10 finishes at national-level events, and won dozens of P1/2 races. I even finished 14th in the Amgen Tour of California.
I'm grateful to have reached such a high level of performance with my racing, which motivates me to want to contribute to other athletes' success at all levels.
As a coach, I've helped people at all levels, from juniors to National Champions to masters racers in their 50s and 60s, helping them all reach their own peak levels of performance.
Over the years, I've learned much about what it takes to be a successful athlete. How to train and recover. How to approach nutrition, psychology, and also how much sport can enhance our lives.
No matter what level you’re at, from novice to professional, I am confident I can help you reach your athletic goals.
