Dan Hunt
Former Performance Director of British Cycling & TEAM SKY
Dan Hunt was recently appointed Performance Director by British Ski and Snowboard, the National Governing Body for elite British snowsports. Dan joins the organisation from the Premier League where he was Head of Elite Performance.
"One of the key players behind the scenes at the now prominent sport of indoor track cycling"
Having completed an MSc in Exercise Science Dan Hunt started work at the University of Bath as an assistant sports scientist. Within two years he was appointed senior physiologist at a National Institute of Sport. In 2005 he was contacted by the Great Britain Cycling Team to transform the then failing Women's Endurance Team. He led the transformation of a failing programme into one that produced 4 Olympic Medals in just two and a half years. Since Beijing 2008, Dan has sustained the success of the women's programme which culminated in 2009 where the team medalled in every World Championship event including events which Great Britain hasn't been competitive in for over 20 years and successfully defended the World Team Pursuit Title. Dan was Sport Director at Team Sky and had huge success on the world and Olympic stage as a coach at British Cycling.
His presentations draw parallels between the mind-set, values and philosophies, determination and leadership necessary to win in elite sport or business. Relishing his role with SKY Team, Dan believed he succeeded in the two distinct aims using enthusiasm, leadership, vision, and shared British Cycling values and philosophies. These were achieved by winning the Tour de France with British rider Bradley Wiggins in 2012 and also by becoming the best sports team in the world.
Full of inspiration and examples of a relentless quest for quality and refusal to accept second-best, Dan Hunt is no stranger to telling it how it is. A relaxed and highly effective communicator, he expertly illustrates his winning message in a clear and concise style.
