Athletic BMX

Does this sound like you?

You are an ambitious young athlete

  • ✅You are between 10 and 30 and you have big goals.
  • ✅You want to win, get better and reach the top.
  • ✅You know that hard work pays off and that talent on its own is not enough.

You have a goal

  • ✅You want to secure your place at the next level.
  • ✅You know you have to get stronger, physically and mentally.
  • ✅You are ready to invest in yourself so you can reach your potential.

You are not using your full potential yet

  • ✅You know how much nutrition, recovery, mental strength and focused training matter.
  • ✅What you are missing are the right methods and a clear plan.
  • ✅The support at your club is simply not enough to really take off.

You are looking for an expert who takes you to the top

  • ✅No off the shelf training. You need a strategy that fits you.
  • ✅A coach who works with competitive athletes every day and delivers results.
  • ✅Someone who coaches you individually and finds solutions that fit your life.

Then you are in the right place.

I have experience coaching top athletes and performance driven riders.

I work with young athletes and above all with ambitious BMX riders who want to reach their full potential, whether they are just starting out or already riding at the highest level.

1

Junior and club athletes

You want to make the step into competitive sport and you need a strong foundation of strength, mobility and body awareness.

2

Competition athletes

You ride at national or international level and you need individual, professional coaching for your competition preparation, physically and systemically.

3

Athletes after injury

You want to come back safely, rebuild your trust in your body and stand on the bike with power and stability again.

4

Competition preparation

You are preparing for contests and championships such as national contests, UCI C1 and C2 events, World Cups or even the X Games or the Olympics.

I specialise in functional athletic training for BMX riders with one goal, to make you more explosive, more stable and more resilient. I combine biomechanically grounded strength and movement training with an individual nutrition strategy that supports you exactly where you need it, on the bike and in daily life.

No obligation intro call

The short version.

The 4 pillars of success.

Nutrition, recovery, psychology and training. Everyone knows they matter. The difference is that you apply them consistently and take your riding to the next level.

Individual, never off the shelf.

Every athlete is different. We work out where your biggest levers are, put targeted measures in place, and you can ask questions at any time. That is what makes the coaching genuinely yours.

No bullshit. Results at last.

There are no trends here and no myths. Only what is scientifically supported and proven in practice. Maximum effect, with no gimmicks beyond what is needed.

Everything covered.

Top performance does not happen by itself. You get a first class package of training, nutrition, supplements, coaching, sleep and recovery strategies.

Quality without compromise.

You are coached by an expert who keeps training further. Qualifications and experience from coaching licences C through A across several fields, and biomechanics before long. You benefit from know how at the highest level.

More than happy clients.

Happy customers? Better than that. Athletes who make measurable progress and reach their goals, whether they are a junior talent or an elite rider. Reliability, clarity and coaching at the highest level are exactly what you get here.

“With me at your side you will reach every measurable and realistic goal you set.”

Athletes on working together

Results that speak for themselves.

Even though I was injured, Shawn took me into his coaching and helped me get past my previous level. The training off the bike feeds straight back into how I ride, and that is essential for steady progress.

Athletic BMX finally gave me the overview I had been missing in training and nutrition. The plans are individual, easy to follow and built around BMX. Since we started working together I feel fitter and more stable on the bike. I can only recommend it.

Shawn has the expertise of a fitness coach and he knows exactly which loads and postural faults are common in BMX. I am stronger and healthier than ever.

Coach Shawn is open, motivated and full of energy. Plans are built individually and explanations make sense right away. Even with the online format you always get an answer quickly.

Through Athletic BMX, I was able to improve my performance significantly in a very short time. My endurance, strength, and mobility have improved a lot thanks to the workouts with Shawn. Shawn always has tips for me and always knows what to do in tough situations. Thanks to the athletic coaching, I eat well and get the best out of my body.

Sebastian Rölen

Athletic BMX taught me which aspects of strength training have the strongest impact on BMX. It gave my training a clear structure and I feel fitter in general and on the bike. Whenever a problem comes up there is always real effort to help, whether it is mental or physical. Shawn is always fully committed to the process.

From home workouts to the gym

I help you take your performance into your own hands.

With an approach that works.

System · The path04 Stationen

The coaching.

Step 01

A no obligation introduction.

Every successful coaching relationship starts with a conversation. This is not about selling you a standard plan. It is about finding out what works for you specifically. Together we clarify:

01
ScanSignal Lock
DU
01Where are you right now?
02What are your goals?
03What have you already tried?

This conversation gives you a feel for how I work, and it gives me a better understanding of you as an athlete. If it fits for both sides, we take the next step.

Step 02

A detailed assessment.

To make progress that lasts, we have to analyse where you stand and which levers we need to pull. We look closely at:

02
AnalyseIst-Zustand
TrainingSleepNutritionLoad
📊

Your current training

What does your training look like right now? Where is the potential? Are you training effectively, or spending time on methods that do very little?

😴

Sleep & recovery

Do you wake up rested, or are you permanently tired and drained?

🍏

Nutrition

Does your food deliver the power you need, or is it holding you back?

🤕

Pain & injuries

Are there muscular imbalances or loading patterns that could cause problems in the long run?

I work out where your biggest potential lies so you make progress faster. After that we get to work.

Step 03

Weekly coaching sessions – delivery with a system.

Every week we set clear priorities to make you better step by step. No rigid off the shelf programme, but a dynamic strategy that adapts to your progress.

🎯

Your progress

What has improved? Where is there still potential?

⚡

Targeted adjustments to your training, your nutrition & your recovery.

Your plan always stays current.

📈

Practical solutions that fit your daily life.

No theory waffle. You only get strategies you can actually apply. Because what is not practical will not move you forward.

The goal: maximum performance, fewer injuries, progress that lasts, with no unnecessary detours.

Step 04

Measurable results – your progress in numbers and facts.

The biggest difference? You do not only get a concept, you also understand why it works. I show you exactly how we train, why we do it that way and how you get the best out of yourself independently over the long run. That means no dependency on me, and knowledge you can use forever.

The approach

My coaching approach – and why it works.

My focus is not only on performance. It is on you as an athlete and as a person. This is not about making you better for a few weeks. It is about developing you sustainably, making you stronger and helping you reach your full potential.

I only use methods that genuinely work. No trends, no hype, just proven strategies that keep top athletes moving forward over the long run.
