By Danielle Sheridan Senior Coach - 18th May 2010
Here at Astounding Adventures HQ we are extremely excited to welcome a very special new member to our coaching team.
Nick Gracie is the current Adventure Racing World Champion and will be helping us coach our brilliant range of adventure race skills courses.
Nick is one of the UK’s most experienced and successful adventure racers. He started racing 12 years ago as a novice and after 10 years of hard training and racing he became Adventure Racing World Champion in 2009 with his team adidas TERREX.
He has taken part in over 20 expedition length races all over the world and competed in 4 world championships cumulating in last year's win.
Nick's primary focus will be helping us to expand the range of skills courses we have available focusing on the soft skills that make him one of the world's leading adventure sport athletes. He is an expert on training, kit, strategy, teamwork and dealing with the physical and mental sides of this very demanding sport.
He will also be hosting a series of Adventure Race lectures for us later in the year. Each 2½ hour lecture will be split into two halves with a break in the middle.
During the first half of the lecture Nick will show an entertaining slide show of his life in adventure sport; from the humblest beginnings to becoming World Champion. In the second half Nick will describe the soft skills that can make the difference between a podium position and an also-ran. Finally, Nick will wrap things up with an open Q&A session.
