Ben Day

I am Ben Day - an experienced and seasoned cycling professional since 2002 and a

successful cycling coach.  In my time as an elite athlete, I have worked with various coaches from Australia, Germany, Spain, Portugal, England and the USA.  I have also had the privilege to have colaborated and learn from many great physiologists, strengh and conditioning trainers, sports medicine doctors, sport pyschologists and career advisors with the Queensland Academy of Sport and the Australian Institute of Sport, an internationally renowned sporting revolution, facilitating Australia’s great successes in cycling in the past 20 years.

My experience racing and training across the globe has equipped me beyond most coaches as I am not only current with ideas and methodologies, I am also understanding of what makes a cyclist good in this modern world of cycling. I have had some incredibly knowledgeable people all in my corner throughout this time, teaching me many things that contribute to making an athlete the best possible athlete he or she can be.

Already during my professional cycling career,  I have had some incredible moments such as representing my country at World Championships and Commonwealth Games level with success, which has enabled me to learn about what makes a cyclist perform to the best of their abilities.  I am able to draw upon those experiences and knowledge in my coaching to make a better cyclist - day by day.

Ben Day

I am an ex-professional road cyclist, cycling coach, husband and father of four (including triplets!). As one of four boys I grew up riding and competing on BMX’s from the age of three in country New South Wales, Australia. I commenced track and road cycling at nine and competed in track and road racing at a state level throughout my teenage years. In my early 20’s I spent four years based in Europe racing for European Amateur Teams, the Queensland Academy of Sport, Australian Institute of Sport and Tenax Professional Road Cycling Team. During this time I was fortunate to learn from and work with many talented cyclists (such as Ben Day), coaches, trainers, sports physiologists and doctors. Towards the end of my professional cycling career I also had the opportunity to mentor and coach, up and coming road cyclists for the Queensland Academy of Sport.  Since retiring from professional cycling in 2006 I have continued to enjoy training and competing in state competitions around my hectic family life with four young boys under 2 ½ years.

As a cyclist I am an all rounder. As a coach I bring skills from all aspects of my life to offer you a holistic service. My philosophy as a coach incorporates my riding experiences and expertise, as well as an understanding of your other life commitments such as work and family. My aim is to provide you with the knowledge and skills to become the best and most well rounded athlete you can be.  I have linked up with Ben Day at DaybyDay Cycle Coaching as I believe in the philosophies of this coaching service - to take into consideration the individual, their personal needs and requirements to get the most out of their cycling abilities; to help them achieve their goals and ambitions; through imparting the knowledge gained through years of education and actual practical experience.

I look forward to working with you and developing your individualized coaching plan for today, tomorrow and the future.

Dr David Boynton B.Sc., D.C.

For the past two years I have had the privelege of working with chiropractor, Doctor Dave in Boulder.  He has brought me back from some pretty nasty injuries. Doctor Boynton was instrumental to my season last year.  It is refreshing to work with a high quality practitioner, but also with someone who takes the time to listen, to contemplate, and then to put in place a plan to solve the problem.  We are lucky to have Doctor Boynton working with us at DayByDay Cycle Coaching.  He is part of the expert network that we provide.  This is what he has to say:

"I am David Boynton, a Boulder, CO based chiropractor with over 20 years experience, and a huge passion for cycling as I ride as well, and for helping cyclists to both recover from injuries and to maximize their performance.

I have been fortunate to work with members from several Pro cycling teams who have had a strong presence in Boulder. These teams include Toyota United, BMC, Fly V Australia, Jelly Belly, Bissell, Rock Racing, Colavita Suter, Team Type I, as well as members from the U.S. National Team, and the Great Britain National Team. Among my clients are cyclists who have performed at the World Championships, Olympic Games, and in professional races across Europe, Australia, and North America on the road, track and MTB stages.

As a chiropractor I firmly believe that “You cannot build great performance on a foundation of poor health.” As such I strive to work with athletes to help drive their body back towards health, and optimum function. Muscle imbalances in the spine or extremeties, patterns of compensation in the body, and the different ways that stress will manifest in the nervous system are three of the key areas that I work with.

Johnathan Edwards MD

I would like to introduce to you one of my major collaborators, Johnathan Edwards MD.  Doctor Edwards has had a life of sporting experience, starting as one of America's top motocross riders until injury directed him towards a career in medicine. 

A practicing anesthesiologist, sports medicine doctor and USA cycling certified coach, Doctor Edwards is always pursuing the cutting edge in training methods, rehabilitation and the health of athletes under training and life stresses. 

He has been the doctor in the arduous Paris-Dakar rally, dealing with all manner of medical issues, as well as being the race doctor in various cycling events such as the Four Days of Dunkirk in France. He has worked with many elite athletes in cycling and other disciplines.  The ethos of DayByDay Cycle Coaching is maintained through Doctor Edwards as he practices what he preaches and has progressed quickly into being a Category 2 cyclist.
