James Hibbard started cycling while still in his early teens and brings to Wenzel Coaching over 15 years of competitive cycling experience. He is a former Collegiate All-American track cyclist and rode as part of the powerhouse Shaklee and HealthNet Professional road cycling teams. He has earned 13 National Track Championship medals, as well as numerous junior and elite championships district championships on both the road and track in Northern California. Since he retired from racing in 2005, James has focused on his development as a coach.

James has worked with a wide variety of road and track athletes, ranging from those who are new to the sport, to those who hold professional aspirations. Having himself progressed from Category 5 to signing professional contracts, James has a sense not just for the upper echelons of the sport, but of how to develop athletes over the long term to their potential. He is also familiar with keeping the balance of cycling goals and other commitments such as work or full time school.

James has worked with athletes to meet a broad range of goals, from weight loss, to working to perfect a standing start. He believes in focusing on not only the physiological components needed for cycling success, but also the tactical and psychological aspects of the sport. Several athletes he has worked with have seen large improvements – even at already high fitness levels – after addressing or re-addressing fundamentals of pacing, equipment, and technique. He has also helped athletes to better integrate their strength training goals with the periodization schedules of their on-bike training. He can help athletes with the details of track racing as well, assisting in equipment choices for sprint and endurance events, gear choices, and tactics for mass start racing.
