Speaking and Events

Phil draws upon his two best-selling books and decades of experience working within the cycling industry and elite sport at the highest level, to address more universal human questions, such as:

Why is decision making so difficult and flawed in inherently stressful situations – bike-racing, intense exercise, conflict, stress, turmoil etc?  

Surely we can never have too much commitment and excess motivation?

Phil has previously spoken at: medical conferences, science symposiums, corporate and finance events.

Writing commissions and articles

As well writing two best selling books, Phil has written extensively for cycling and more mainstream media.
