Connor Hedges
Strength & Conditioning Coach & BMX Specialist

I am a Strength and Conditioning coach and BMX specialist. In the S&C world, I have previously worked with Manchester City FC Academy and I currently work with the British Cycling NSR Foundation Program. I hold a First Class BSc Sport Science degree and a First Class MSc Strength and Conditioning degree. I pride myself on delivering athletic development programs that support long term performance; and I value the relationships I build within the elite sporting pathways I work with.
In the BMX world, I am the Lead Talent Development Coach for the North Region and I base myself in Manchester, coaching at the club and leading its national rider development. I coach regularly around the country, visiting all regions at least once in my Holeshot Tour.
Additionally, I run the CHCP Project, where I provide opportunities for talented riders outside of National Governing Body support to progress into their BMX SX or Elite career. I support my riders as athletes and as people; and I bring this same philosophy to every client I work with.
My BMX athletes have gone on to achieve National and British titles along with European and World finals. Although I cannot promise that you will become a world champion, I strongly believe that you will become a better athlete than yesterday. That is my goal and I work hard to achieve that with every athlete I coach, regardless of sporting background or starting point.
