Acier Coaching and Consulting
- Acier was conceived by Samuel Thompson through an enthusiasm for ultra-distance cycling, a curiosity for what it takes to go further, faster, and a desire to help others accomplish rewarding, challenging goals in a responsible, sustainable manner.
- Samuel’s curiosity for what drives us to tackle longer distances has informed an open, collaborative approach to coaching which is forged through experience and alloyed with emerging sports science to address the specific, unique demands of ultra-distance cycling.
- Responsibility and sustainability are central to Samuel’s values. These are applied jointly through integrating sport sustainably in to each individual’s wider lives and raising an awareness of the impact that participating in often consumable-heavy events can have on our environment. Acier encourages and provides advice on making sustainable, responsible choices at each stage of the process.
