Race Coach with SKY Pro-Cycling Team, Great Britain’s National Endurance Coach for the Track
Dan Hunt is an outstanding athletics coach. Throughout his 5 year coaching career he has coached athletes (both male and female), in individual and team events to Gold medals at Commonwealth Games, European Championships, Track World Cups, World Championships and most recently London 2012. Dan is ‘Senior National Endurance Coach’ directly coaching the Great Britain Men’s track endurance team and overseeing the coaching delivery and performance of the Women’s team also. In 2013 Dan was appointed by Team Sky as Sports Director.
“One of the key players behind the scenes at the now prominent sport of indoor track cycling”
Having completed an MSc in Exercise Science, Dan started work at the University of Bath as an assistant sports scientist. Within two years he was appointed senior physiologist at a National Institute of Sport. In 2005 he was contacted by the Great Britain Cycling Team to transform the then failing Women’s Endurance Team. He led the transformation of a failing programme into one that produced 4 Olympic Medals in just two and a half years. Since Beijing 2008, Dan has sustained the success of the women’s programme which culminated in 2009 where the team medalled in every World Championship event including events which Great Britain hasn’t been competitive in for over 20 years and successfully defended the World Team Pursuit Title.[/expand]
His presentations draw parallels between the mindset, values and philosophies, determination and leadership necessary to win in elite sport or business. Relishing his role as a ‘Race Coach‘ with the newly formed SKY Pro-Cycling Team he believes he will succeed in the two distinct aims using enthusiasm, leadership, vision, and shared British Cycling values and philosophies, to win the Tour de France with a British rider in the next 5 years and to become the best sports team in the world.[/expand]
Full of inspiration and examples of a relentless quest for quality and refusal to accept second-best, Dan Hunt is no stranger to telling it how it is. A relaxed and highly effective communicator, he expertly illustrates his winning message in a clear and concise style.[/expand]
