Mountain Bike Coaching
My name is Borys Zagrocki, I am a Hobart based professional mountain and trials bike coach and performer, working under the business, Extreme Bicycle Stunts.
I would like to offer mountain bike coaching for students at the Holy Rosary Catholic School.
About me
I have over 20 years of experience, developed in Europe, Asia and Australia. I hold 2 Australian Elite bike trials titles, as well as a Working with Children card and Public Liability insurance for coaching.
I am also sponsored by major bicycle brands like Norco Bicycles, Shimano, Maxxis, Bike Trials Direct & TNN Bikes.
Coaching
My coaching sessions are for all ages and skill levels and focus on safety, fun, skill, fitness and health.
I encourage a disciplined and consistent approach to riding and physical health, both on and off the bike.
I coach a mix of Mountain bike clubs and private groups across Tasmania and on the mainland.
I work with Mountain Bike Australia (MTBA) as well as the towns of Derby and St Helens during sporting events.
In 2019 I was contracted to coach students at the Hutchins School and had a successful group of riders improve their confidence and skill during the term.
During the Covid-19 lockdown, I have seen an increase in regular students and was fortunate to be able to offer 'one on one's (maintaining the 1.5m distance) during this time.
I currently coach several groups of 4-8 regular students weekly and would like to extend coaching to your students.
Details
I can offer coaching sessions either during or after school hours, on school premises or at a designated location.
I coach groups of up to 8 riders of similar skill level. The fee is $55 per rider, each session goes for 60 minutes.
The minimum of 4 riders per group is required. Sessions are designed to each group's skill set and warm up and cool down stretching is always included.
I would be happy to offer specific details on what is typically covered in a workshop, should you want more information.
Attached is a recent article from the Mercury regarding my workshops for some more insight.
My Instagram account and website include useful information, including testimonials from riders and parents.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions, I look forward to hearing from you at your convenience.
