Steven Beardsley, Associate Coach
Steven Beardsley brings to Wenzel Coaching the drive and determination of an elite competitor coupled with the experience and know-how of a seasoned rider. With numerous podium places at the US Elite Track National Championships as well as commanding wins at many of the premiere Northwest criteriums in the last several years, Steven has demonstrated his physical and tactical prowess over the field. Steven's success on the elite level has come while still balancing a full time job with training, and he can relate to those riders who have limited training time as well as young riders with elite goals. Whether your weakness is a physical one like race-specific intensity, or a tactical one such as how to effectively corner at speed, Steven has the practical insight and teaching ability to help you overcome your obstacles. He will work with your schedule to maximize your fitness potential, identifying and building up the weaknesses while assessing and fine-tuning strengths. Steven's approach to coaching includes more than just on-the-bike training, as he knows being an athlete is more than just training and competing. His patience, understanding, and dedication to maximizing his clients' successes are part of his holistic and multi-variable approach.

"Steven has been a great coach. He's helped me
find and then correct my weaknesses, and worked with me to
understand that bike racing is not just physically demanding, but
requires an enormous amount of mental training. We've worked on
everything from racing tactics to mental preparation for racing and
training. And, throughout all of this, Steven has been really fun to
work with - as he not only makes me faster on the bike, but have a
better time doing it." ~ Dan M |

"I
have been working with Steven for nearly a year. The program I
follow is set up so that my system is challenged enough to stimulate
gains in fitness and overall strength, but it is done in a way that
is sustainable. I have had injury issues in the past, but since
starting with Steven and Wenzel Coaching, I am finally feeling
confident in my body again. I greatly appreciate how Steven
approaches coaching because there is never any added pressure,
anxiety, or negativity associated with our interactions. He helps
keep me positive and excited about racing, and is an invaluable
resource when it comes to race tactics. I am glad I made the
decision to work with Steven and Wenzel coaching. I feel strong on
the bike and I know my training will put me in a position to do well
in big races." ~ Emily C
