While they have already been coaching riders, the husband and wife duo are getting more serious about coaching, now that Lizzie has retired, and have launched their new business, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deignanperformance.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Deignan Performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">They are offering tailored coaching packages for riders and they say what sets them apart is their collaborative methodology; the best of both going into getting the most out of all the riders they coach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cWith each athlete\u2019s permission, Philip and Lizzie work together on rider programs, combining their different perspectives to develop the optimal approach for each individual,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cThis dual-coach system ensures that every athlete benefits from both Philip\u2019s technical coaching expertise and Lizzie\u2019s invaluable insights into the mental, tactical, and lifestyle aspects of achieving peak performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cLizzie\u2019s 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 \u2013 from managing training stress and recovery to navigating the psychological challenges of competition and career development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Philip (42) is from Donegal and during his career rode for Team Sky for five years as well as RadioShack, Cervelo Test Team and AG2R La Mondiale. He retired in 2008 after a 14-year career, during which he won a stage at La Vuelta\u00a0 as well as Tour du Doubs and the general classification at Tour of the Gila, Ronde de l\u2019Isard and Le Tour de Savoie Mont Blanc.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Lizzie was a trail blazer during her career, with highlights including the Olympic road race silver medal in London 2012. Her return to the top level after giving birth to her first child is seen has having brought about a significant change in the sport, as maternity leave was unheard of for female riders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ireland\u2019s Philip Deignan of Team Sky on the front of the breakaway at Tour de Yorkshire 2015 (Photo:&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385648,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[4985,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-385647","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-cycling","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385647","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385647"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385647\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385647"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385647"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385647"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
