Straight from the rumor mill
Nicole Frain
“I really started my cycling career with Justin, primarily through his coaching but in addition to this Justin provided his mental and well-being support from all his years of experience.
I believe this added element really helped to set the base for the athlete I am today, to achieve goals but also overcome difficult moments.
Justin helped me to focus on the positives, the purpose for my goals and set tools for managing what challenges sport might throw at you.
Having raced at the top level of sport now, I always said that your mental game can be one of the most important factors in achieving your goals and Justin is certainly someone I would have in my team to help make sure i don’t loose sight of that.”

"At Northern Sydney Cycling Club - one of Sydney's oldest racing clubs - our participation and performance in racing had slumped in recent years. This was evident in the sub 35 yo age group as the demographic of the club changed.
We engaged Justin Morris as the Director of our Elite Development Squad to rejuvenate elite class racing and to identify talented riders and develop them for NRS level racing.
Justin built a squad in his first year as Director which were emerging talent that he took to a whole new level - at the end of the first year 5 of his squad went on to major success at NRS level.
The main difference between Justin and other development coaches, was that he taught the riders how to approach and prepare for racing at the top level. He developed a mental toughness in the riders by getting them to think about training and racing differently - not just kms and power stats - Justin tapped into riders' basic love of cycling to channel that passion into adding mental strength to their arsenal.
Justin also developed his squad with the right ethos - never be arrogant, respect those who teach you, and above all be humble - accept success and defeat with grace and learn from it.
At Northern Sydney Cyclin Club we are honoured to recommend Justin and his unique program to others.”

I am incredibly grateful for the mentorship I received from Justin Morris. His guidance and insights have been instrumental in shaping my career. His unwavering support not only emboldened me to envision audacious aspirations but also empowered me to turn those aspirations into tangible achievements. Through our mentorship sessions, I gained a deeper understanding of my strengths and areas for growth. He challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and provided practical advice on how to overcome challenges. Justin support not only helped me achieve my professional goals but also boosted my confidence. I can affirm that my present position is a direct reflection of Justin's invaluable mentorship and unceasing support.

"Justin has had a really positive impact on not only my physical development as a cyclist, however many other aspects of life. He has helped me to ... holistically address other areas such as positive mentality and self confidence."

"At the end of 2015 I was looking for an NRS team to make the next step up in the sport. Justin took me under as a mentor and later as a DS. He provided me with his extensive knowledge in racing as-well as a positive out look on cycling in general. Justin’s coaching business will ultimately provide athletes with improvements both on and off the bike."

“Justin has always had an amazing outlook on racing/training and life. I’ve had the pleasure of being team mates with “the dog” and also had him as a DS. He has always helped me get the best out of myself if that’s at the tour of Denmark as my room mate and team mate or at the national titles as My DS. If he is pinning on a number or pinning on mine he is someone I will always want next to me at a race. As the dog says. “Smiles on faces win races”.

“Justin's wealth of knowledge and experience has greatly assisted me develop as an elite cyclist and has helped me focus on my goals, both on and off the bike. I've been fortunate to have him as a DS on multiple road tours and he has always been there to guide me through the challenging times, whether it's managing various commitments or juggling both road and MTB racing. You won't find anyone with a more positive outlook on all aspects of life than Maddog!”

“Justin has always helped me focus on the positives on any given situation i’ve been involved in, and that the only way to approach them is to be the best version of myself - trying to be better at what I enjoy in the sport and in life, with in-depth knowledge to back up his advice.
To this day I carry myself that way wherever I go and I not only owe him for that, I encourage anyone to speak to Justin about breaking down your own personal barriers”.
