COACHES
Schick BMX National Performance Hub's head coach is Matt Cameron. Matt has been involved with BMX for many years, including 14 as an athlete, where he spent five years on the World Cup circuit, recorded a career-best 12th place at the 2016 World Championships and was a reserve for the Olympics in Rio.
It is his experience as a high-performance athlete, having worked with multiple coaches, that enabled Matt to reflect what worked for himself as an athlete, and for other athletes, he trained and competed alongside. Since beginning his coaching career in 2015, he has coached from beginner level all the way through to the elite ranks, for multiple organisations and groups, including coach development and coach education.
Since his appointment as Schick Civil Construction BMX National Performance Hub, Matt has worked tirelessly to continue developing a group of young riders looking towards the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
"The passion and drive I had as an athlete in the sport has very much transferred into coaching where I am driven to pass on knowledge and allow a pathway for other athletes to be the very best they can be," he said.
