Matt McNamara
NEW COACH TYPE GUY!
I am a USA Cycling Certified ELITE Coach with a B.A. in Exercise Physiology and over 20 years of competitive racing, team management and coaching experience. I love cycling, whatever the type! I've raced road, track, cyclo-cross, cross country, 24 hours, and even downhill! Most recently I've received the USAC Power Certification to augment my work with power based training programs. I believe that power is a great tool, when used appropriately, but it isn't a miracle solution - you still have to do the work! I build my programs around the specific needs of each athlete and a structured assessment and feedback process that helps keep you on track. The pinnacle of performance is built on the foundation of consistency.

I've been lucky enough to have some great experiences in cycling and adventure sports. From serving as Director Sportif of the Specialized/Mt Dew Global Team in 1997, to managing the Outdoor Adventures Program at San Jose State University from 1997 - 2004, to serving as a reporter/correspondent for Velonews and VioSport (now VIO-POV) covering U.S. World Cup and NCS events. On the competition side some of my State and National level results include:
  • 2007 Nor Cal Masters Track Championships - 3rd Match Sprints, 35-39
  • 2007 Nor Cal Masters Track Championships - 5th Points Race, 35-39
  • 2005 Nor Cal Masters Road Championships - 10th Criterium, 35-39
  • 2003 Nor-Cal Masters Road Championships - 2nd Time Trial, 30-34

  • 2002 Masters National Championships - 16th Criterium, 30-34
