FITNESS GURU

- SAM YASSIN

Being a strength, conditioni­ng and athletic developmen­t coach, my background is in game sports such as hockey and football – although my passion has always been in motorsport. Through mutual friends I was contacted by a rider, and then it just snowballed from there!

From initially training Cameron Lee in British Superstock, I’ve since worked with the Mackenzies, James Rispoli, Brad Ray, Lee Jackson and of course I have James Ellison on my roster – among almost 15 others. The goal for me is to train a champion in every class and we do this by stepping the training game up a notch; just like Brad (which is why we are now working together) we use state-of-the-art methods to test riders from their DNA to constant heart rates on and off track in order to maximise their potential.

With bikes and competitio­n being so close on track we try to simulate that as closely as possible in the gym environmen­t, by creating a real shark tank. With the riders training together there is incredible rivalry which leads to the lads pushing themselves further than they thought possible – which is how we create champions. The aim from there is to have a one-stop performanc­e facility for riders we can take to each BSB event, before moving onto the world stage.
