THE COACHING TEAM
Our coaches are divided into different Tiers dependent on their experience. Tier 3 coaches are our most experienced coaches with 8+ years of experience. Tier 2 coaches have experience ranging from 3-8 years, and our Tier 1 coaches have experience of less than 3 years.
All coaches have formal qualifications with internationally recognized bodies or formal university degree(s), some have both. By tiering our coaches into different categories it allows us to continue to develop a newer generation by allowing them to gain coaching experience and put the theory into practice. This structure also allows for valuable sharing of knowledge between all coaches, but also allows so to charge slightly less or more based on the coaches valuable experience.

SARAH HILL
Sarah completed her Masters in Sport and Performance Psychology after seeing the impact on sportsmen and women around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a professional off-road cyclist with multiple qualifications to coach from a physiological basis, it was important for her to be able to fully support her athletes from a psychological perspective too. She launched MindShift Performance within The Threshold Coaching in 2024 where she offers additional services as an Integrative Mental Performance Coach.
​
Sarah has had a passion for coaching her entire life. After matriculating from St Stithians Girls College in 2011, she was invited to coach rowing and netball, which she thoroughly enjoyed. Between 2018 and 2022, Sarah completed multiple cycling specific certifications and has been a cycling coach ever since. Her passion lies mainly in mountain biking, building strength through personalized training programs, teaching MTB skills and empowering female athletes in particular. She has mastered the art of holistic coaching and enjoys working people with different levels of confidence and ability. She finds the one-on-one interaction with her athletes extremely rewarding. When Sarah is not racing, she hosts workshops and public speaking engagements where she shares her expertise on "The High Performing Person" which is applicable to both the sporting and corporate world.
​
Sarah currently races as a privateer for Complete Cyclist, Specialized South Africa, VivoVita Sport, Enduren, and Sox Footwear. She specializes in racing marathon, ultra marathon, and stage races, however this does not prevent her from jumping into the gravel and road scene. Her ability to race all disciplines makes her one of South Africa's most decorated riders.

She coaches Mountain biking, road cycling and some ironman athletes but her first love is mountain biking.
