I'm Anya Louw, a certified performance coach and professional cyclist with the world-class AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step Women’s Team. I've competed in some of the most prestigious races in the world, including the iconic Tour de France Femmes and the grueling Paris-Roubaix. These experiences have not only pushed me to my limits but also provided invaluable insights into what it takes to perform at the highest level, particularly as a female athlete navigating the unique challenges of the sport.

As a professional cyclist, I know firsthand the dedication, resilience, and strategic preparation required to achieve top fitness. I understand the specific obstacles women face in cycling, from managing training and recovery cycles to overcoming systemic barriers in the sport. These challenges have fuelled my passion for empowering female athletes to break boundaries and reach new heights.

As a certified performance coach, I combine my elite-level experience, knowledge of sports science, and a personalized approach to guide athletes toward success. I tailor my coaching to address the distinct needs of cyclists, providing the support and strategies necessary to thrive both physically and mentally in a demanding sport.

Whether tackling cobblestones at Paris-Roubaix or climbing steep mountain passes, I bring the same commitment and drive to coaching that I do to my own racing.

My mission is to inspire and empower athletes of all levels, especially young women, to overcome challenges, unlock their potential, and achieve their best in the incredible journey that is cycling.
