Chris Hoy, Brian Lopes, Rafa Nadal, Andy Murray, Steve Peat,  Rebecca Adlington, Brian Lopes, Gee Atherton, Steve Redgrave, Didier Cuche,  Laird Hamilton,  Amy Williams, Lionel Messi, Jonny Wilkinson - what's the connection? 

Well, none of them has yet been a pupil at bike school scotland (any day now, though) but every one of them got to the top of their sport with the benefit of excellent coaching. 

Enjoying sport (whether you're 'sporty' or not) requires all sorts of stuff (not just the kit stuff, although that's v cool, we love it and always want more).  Sports psychologists cite motivation, positive mental attitude (PMA), persistence, etc.; the things that come from inside you.  But they also know that to achieve the levels that make you happy, you're going to need an excellent coach who will help develop not just your technique but also provide the support needed to gain and sustain that PMA, motivation, etc..

Bike school scotland offers world-class coaching for all levels of rider from mountain bike newbies to battle-scarred veterans. We give you the essential building blocks of mtb technique and the skills to teach yourself.  So our courses show you 'how to' then enable you to be your own best coach.

Based at Laggan’s Wolftrax MTB Park, our instructors use all the tools in the coaching toolbox so that they meet each rider’s learning preferences and mtb goals.

All our instructors hold top national MBLA & coaching qualifications and are also coaches and athletes/performers in a range of other sports so they bring that experience and all-round brilliance and enthusiasm to every lesson they teach.

And as well as transforming your riding, they'll ensure you have a blast, make some new friends and end the day feeling really good - about the time you had, about your riding, about life.

So if you feel like you're struggling to keep up with your mates,  or you want to get the best possible start in a new sport, or you're in a rut and want to get your mtb groove back, ask yourself, what would Brian Lopes do?
