About
Hi, I am Jakub Novak, a former professional road cyclist with +10 years of experience as a competitive cyclist and +5 years as a performance coach. I retired from professional cycling in 2013 at the age of 24.
Since then, I have been passing on my valuable experiences. I had a chance to experience what preparation for the world’s best cyclists look like at BMC World Tour Team. Being part of the team, and having identical coaches and support team as world-class riders such as Tour de France winner Cadel Evans or World Champion Philipe Gilbert, gives me the experience and insights I can pass on to my athletes.
On top of that, my continuous education in sport science and professional networks in the world of cycling keeps me up to date. I completed a Certificate in Sports Science from the University of Colorado. I am certified with Cycling Australia and data analytics software TrainingPeaks and WKO5.
Jakub's rare combination of World Tour racing experience, sports science expertise, and data-driven coaching methodology sets him apart as a coach. He gets results - and his athletes know it."
Kevin Poulton Performance Coach at World Tour UAE Team Emirates
"Jakub is incredibly supportive and exceptional cycling coach. He is giving close and thoughtful attention to my training, racing and other aspects of my life that affect performance."
Alex Bogna Pro Team Alpecin-Fenix, winner of Zwift Academy
“To add, I likewise do coaching myself but needed someone to help me with my goals. So far, I have been impressed with Jakub's holistic approach to training. It is not just about the bike workouts, it's the stretching, yoga, gym workouts and nutrition advice that gives you the full access to improvement."
Scott Mcdonnell New Zealand
"Jakub works with me to tailor training plans that are effective, fit well into my work and family’s commitments. He’s a great motivator and a good coach to talk to for advises on all matters relating to cycling but most importantly Jakub understands the individual ability and differences to build the right training plans. Highly recommend Pro Cycling Coaching!"
Tom Nguyen Sydney, Australia
I love doing my job, I consider myself fortunate to work full-time in this field and dedicate my time to supporting athletes of all kinds.
