Why choose AUS Cycle Coaching?
Science-backed coaching across the big four
Neuroscientist and psychology-trained coach
At ACC, we focus on the Big Four Performance Levers
Training
A tailored training plan built around your goals, your constraints, your racing calendar and your life with clear progression and accountability.
Nutrition
Fuelling and recovery strategies need to match the demands of the individual day. Thus, all programs come with a daily nutrition plan tailored to your needs, training session of the day and out-of-sport activities. This is not a copy-and-paste plan, but is uniquely tailored to your life every day. We take your metabolism, temperature, goals and upcoming events into account, and provide on and off bike nutrition plans.
Mind
Through coaching informed by neuroscience and psychology, we unlock the qualities that define exceptional athletes. Race-day execution, unwavering confidence, composure under pressure, and the ability to perform when you feel at your worst are all part of the work. Our approach is built on refined, practical tools rather than empty motivation, giving our athletes the clarity, control, and competitive edge to excel when it counts.
Sleep
Sleep metrics support (wearables optional): we translate your sleep trends into practical changes that improve readiness, recovery and consistency.
How we deliver this (what you get):
Tailor-made training program designed to reach your goals

Why unlimited communication matters
We believe the only way to coach effectively — and to your full potential — is through open, non-restrictive communication. That’s how we adapt quickly to real life, reduce injury risk, manage fatigue, and keep your training aligned with what’s actually happening week to week.
All this for $370 per month

Ben
Carman
Ben has raced internationally for over a decade, with most of that time spent competing in Europe. He now races with St George Continental and coaches riders from amateurs of any level through to international riders.
Ben’s coaching is neuroscience-led and evidence-based, built on the four levers that actually move performance: training, nutrition, the mind, and sleep. He holds a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and is a neuroscientist at the Queensland Brain Institute, with research areas including neural oscillations and concussion.
“I studied psychology because in sport, performance is often limited less by fitness and more by what happens under pressure — focus, decision-making, confidence, and how athletes respond when they feel terrible. My coaching blends physiology and data with practical mental performance tools, and it’s delivered through a genuine working relationship: clear feedback, honest communication, and a system tailored to the individual.”

Trent
Carman
Trent has been racing for over 15 years. He has competed at all levels of cycling, from the junior ranks through to elite, as well as NRS, National and even at an International level. Trent has been working with power meters since 2006 and has helped coach, develop and mentor other cyclists over the years. “The best part of coaching for me is giving our athletes the tools they need to achieve their dreams and goals. There is nothing more rewarding than making someone’s dream come true and getting alongside them as well as being part of their journey”
AUS Cycle Coaching was formed in 2007 with the idea of delivering top-level professional coaching to people of all abilities. Since then, we have coached athletes to win Australian Championships, wear leaders jerseys at tours and National Road Series events, race at an international level and even qualify for world championships. But we don’t only look after the more serious athletes, we cater for athletes that have their own personal goals, whether it’s to complete a sportif ride, knock some time off their local climb, lose weight or even just improve their fitness level. Whatever our athletes’ goals are, we will work with them to reach their full potential.
About AUS Cycle Coaching
What do they say?
1st Australian Championships
What a way to cap off my first masters nationals!! Top step! This win is as much AUS Cycle Coaching's as it is mine. My coach, Trent. Also a huge thank you to all the people behind the scenes that make it possible for me to train and compete.

REVIEWS
From Google Reviews
I have been using Aus Cycle Coaching for over a year now. Trent is a perfectionist who works hard to seamlessly tailor or modify programs for his athletes depending on their availability of time and motivation for training. Trezza always makes himself available to offer both physical and mental support and has a wealth of cycling knowledge to draw upon. Regardless of what your cycling goals are, I would have no hesitation in recommending Aus Cycle Coaching as a value asset to keep you progressing on the bike

1st State Championships
When asked if I’d give the State Criterium Championships a go this year, I was apprehensive. The thought of coming down again and sustaining another injury terrified me. I was very nervous, and didn’t relax until the race was finished but so happy to have gotten through it safely and with first place as a bonus! Thanks to my coach Trent Carman from @auscyclecoaching for encouraging me to get back into it, and keeping me training hard indoors for a couple of months while I was injured. Looking forward to the next race

Fitness Testing
AUS Cycle Coaching also provides fitness testing services. Whilst an on road power test is a good estimate of current fitness, we believe a blood lactate/power test is the best way to accurately measure fitness capability and formulate accurate training zones. Accurate lab testing is no longer something only for the “pro’s”. At $250, you will be given an in depth briefing in the days prior to the test, then complete an indoor fitness test with blood lactate readings taken throughout. We will crunch the numbers and send you the results. Then schedule a consultation in which we will break down the results, explain what the results mean and how best to use this to your advantage.
Please contact us for availability. It is possible for us to bring our gear to you (additional travel price dependent on location).
