Coach Joy is currently only accepting clients looking for to maximize their total performance with the Contender Package

I began Big Wheel Coaching in 2010 while I was teaching junior high and high school physical education. I soon realized that the business would be successful as a solo venture and I quit my teaching job of eight years. Creating BWC as “PE for adults” has been an awesome way to provide structure, feedback and accountability for even the busiest of clients.
 
I have been racing bicycles since 2004 where I began as an avid mountain biker. In 2008, I received my Professional Mountain Bike license and traveled the country racing the NORBA cross country and short track events.
 
In 2010, I chose to shift my focus to road cycling since Southern California is a hot bed for the sport. I quickly adapted to the different type of racing and fell in love with road racing. Since stepping away from focused racing in 2017, I have enjoyed getting back on the mountain bike more and shredding the gravel bike whenever I can. 
 
I am able to combine my educational and professional background, along with my extensive racing experiences while working with a diverse field of athletes. Hinging on these experiences, I have created a comprehensive template for coaching both the mental and physical aspects of training and racing.


I am confident guiding my athletes to peak physical fitness through a training plan that is custom tailored to their specific abilities, schedules and goals. Through sustainable and attainable training, my clients are able to reach and surpass their goals.
