PHILOSOPHY
OVER 40 YEARS OF COMBINED ELITE EXPERIENCE
OUR COACHING PHILOSOPHY
At Deignan Performance, we bring together more than four decades of professional cycling expertise. Philip's six years of coaching experience, combined with his deep understanding of sports science methodology learned from the world's leading practitioners, merges seamlessly with Lizzie's unique perspective as an athlete who successfully coached herself for most of her career before transitioning to Philip's guidance in 2018.
OUR COLLABORATIVE APPROACH
What sets Deignan Performance apart is our collaborative methodology. With each athlete's permission, Philip and Lizzie work together on rider programs, combining their different perspectives to develop the optimal approach for each individual. This dual-coach system ensures that every athlete benefits from both Philip's technical coaching expertise and Lizzie's invaluable insights into the mental, tactical, and lifestyle aspects of achieving peak performance.
Lizzie's experience as a mentor within the Lidl-Trek team during the final years of her career adds another dimension to our service. She understands the complete athlete journey—from managing training stress and recovery to navigating the psychological challenges of competition and career development.
OUR SINGLE PACKAGE PROMISE

Whether you're a promising young rider, an enthusiastic amateur pursuing personal goals, or a professional athlete competing at the highest level, you'll receive the same level of attention, expertise, and commitment that has contributed to World Championship victories and Grand Tour success.
