COACH SPOTLIGHT: Sara Bergen

Please join me in congratulating Sara Bergen on recently achieving NCCP Club Coach (Comp-Intro) Certified Status.

Professionally trained with degrees in Architectural Science and Building Design, Sara's careful attention to detail and tenacious work ethic helped her quickly climb to the highest echelons of road cycling after falling in love with the sport in 2015. Since that time, she has represented Canada at the Road World Championships and made lasting contributions at Rally Cycling, whom she has ridden with since 2017.

Sara has always been a big supporter of youth cycling and has joined the Escape Velocity DEVO team on numerous occasions over the years. As a certified club coach, she is looking forward to helping others explore their potential through cycling, because...

“If you can't dream big, ridiculous dreams, what's the point in dreaming at all?”
- Sara Bergen
