Christian Williams of Flower Mound, TX brings over 25 years of bicycle racing and 10 years of full-time coaching experience to the Wenzel Coaching staff. Christian has had success at a high level in varying disciplines of cycling, from road, track, mountain, ultra, and BMX, to triathlon, with over 100 victories. He has also completed master's level coursework in exercise physiology. Christian has experience building and leading clubs/teams having coached and directed a collegiate team to the National Championships, served as president of a local cycling club, and he formed and directed a regional race team. He is also an instructor and track session monitor at the Superdrome track in Plano, TX.

Christian has utilized his experience as a racer, coach, and teacher of public school (six years) to help juniors at the national level, but he also specializes in and enjoys the challenge of coaching the working athlete to achieve their goals of upgrading and earning results while balancing real world commitments. He has first hand experience in that area, being married with three kids (10, 3, and 2 yrs), while competing as a category 2 on both road and track and expert in the dirt; so he understands how the demands of the real world can impact training and racing.   

Christian has overcome lung disease and understands what it takes to succeed when an athlete isn’t blessed with physical talent.  He’s now working his way back to racing after being hit by a car on a training ride late last year. Christian served several years as a founding member of the board of directors for the Texas Bicycle Racing Association.  He also founded The Racing Post, a regional cycling magazine where he is still a contributing columnist.

Christian currently coaches racers in their first year of racing all the way up to professionals on both the road and dirt.  This includes juniors, men and women. Athletes he coaches have made National teams and won regional series and State Championships. He is available for group and individual training sessions on the road, dirt and track and can include motorpacing.

Christian enjoys the interaction of coach and rider. Though a firm believer and utilizer of the science behind training, he also understands races aren't held in the lab.  It is his goal to develop a relationship with the athlete because there isn’t one right approach that can be applied to all bike racers, and knowing the athlete gives the athlete-coach team the best opportunity to succeed. Christian believes that successful coaching isn’t simply having a sound training plan, but instead, finding what works best for the individual athlete.
