The Four Performance Levers
At AUS Cycle Coaching, we focus on the four areas that most consistently shape cycling performance: training, fuelling, mindset, and recovery.
Training
Structured road cycling training built around your goals, physiology, available time, racing calendar, and life outside the bike.
Nutrition
Daily performance fuelling guidance matched to the demands of each session, your goals, the conditions, and upcoming events. This includes practical on-bike and off-bike fuelling targets designed to support training quality, recovery, and performance.
Mindset
Evidence-informed mental performance support using tools from psychology and neuroscience. This may include confidence, race-day execution, pressure management, decision-making, routines, and the ability to perform when you feel far from your best.
Recovery
Practical recovery and sleep support to improve consistency, readiness, and adaptation. Wearable data can be used where helpful, but the focus is always on simple changes that improve performance.
All plans include the following:
A daily training plan tailored to your goals, physiology and schedule
Daily nutrition plan tailored to the requirements of that specific day and your goals
Custom training zones
A consultation session to plan out the season ahead and focus on clear goals
We use in-house performance modelling to account for race demands and pinpoint limiting factors—so fuelling targets and training focus are specific, not generic
Discounted rate for AUS Cycle Coaching blood lactate tests
Access to AUS Cycle Coaching education resources
All one-on-one coaching options include the following:
Strength & conditioning program (where applicable)
Heat adaptation training
Training plan adjustments
Event/goal-specific analysis and tactical advice
The frequency of analysis, plan adjustments, coach communication and event support varies by package. Compare the options below to find the right level of support.

What is Psychological Coaching?
Evidence-informed coaching using psychology and neuroscience tools for performance.
A dedicated weekly session to sharpen the mental side of performance.
Common focus areas include: confidence and self-belief, pre-race nerves, racing on bad legs, pain management, tactical decision-making, and building repeatable routines — tailored to what’s limiting you.
Two ways to work together:
Pro + psychological coaching: $600/month (includes everything in the Pro coaching package above, plus weekly 60-minute sessions).
Standalone sessions (for athletes who already have a coach): $130/session
Sport-performance and well-being-focused coaching. This is not a replacement for mental health therapy.

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 who have their own personal goals, whether it’s to complete a sportif ride, knock some time off their local climb, lose weight or even 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 “pros”. At $300, you will be given an in-depth briefing in the days before 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).
