The people behind your performance

As the founder of Elite Edge, Craig has brought together a multidisciplinary team spanning coaching, physiology, biomechanics, strength and conditioning, nutrition, sports psychology and medical support. This integrated approach gives athletes access to genuinely coordinated expertise, with practitioners working collectively rather than as separate services.

Craig’s own specialist areas are applied physiology, biomechanics and endurance coaching. He holds qualifications across sport and exercise science, applied physiology, biomechanics and high-performance coaching, supported by extensive experience working with athletes from developing juniors through to Olympic and world level.

Throughout his career, Craig has combined evidence-led practice, advanced performance technology and practical coaching experience to create highly individualised performance strategies. His approach places the athlete at the centre of the process, ensuring that testing, data and specialist input are translated into clear decisions that improve training, preparation and performance.

Craig continues to lead the development of Elite Edge, working closely with its coaches and practitioners to review each athlete’s progress, challenge existing thinking and ensure they receive the right support at the right time.

Away from elite sport, Craig is also a qualified advanced trimix diving instructor.

Ben is an experienced Performance Nutritionist and Strength & Conditioning Coach with a background spanning elite and professional sport. He combines evidence-led nutrition strategy with highly individualised physical preparation to help athletes maximise performance, improve recovery and build the resilience required to perform consistently across demanding training and competition schedules.

Within Elite Edge, Ben leads performance nutrition support for athletes and endurance teams, while also contributing his expertise across strength and conditioning. Alongside his work with Elite Edge, he holds a senior performance nutrition role within professional football, giving him extensive experience operating within multidisciplinary high-performance environments.

Prior to joining Elite Edge, Ben spent five years working in professional rugby across both performance nutrition and strength & conditioning. During this time, he was part of a Premiership-winning performance team, supporting athletes through the physical, nutritional and recovery demands of top-level professional sport.

Ben also has extensive experience working with elite cyclists and endurance athletes, allowing him to integrate nutrition, training demands, body composition, recovery and physical preparation into a single performance strategy. His approach is practical, evidence-based and athlete-centred, ensuring that recommendations translate effectively into both day-to-day training and competition performance.

As an Elite Edge Coach and Biomechanic, Tom works with athletes to improve their performance through individually structured training, informed analysis and considered equipment optimisation. His development has been closely supported by Craig, alongside completing professional education through the International Bike Fitting Institute and gebioMized’s International School of Cycling Optimization.

Tom’s approach is analytical but firmly grounded in practical application. By combining athlete feedback with training data, biomechanical assessment and industry-leading technology, he helps each athlete find a position and training approach suited to their physiology, goals and wider circumstances.

Outside of his work with Elite Edge, Tom remains deeply involved in competitive cycling and continues to race nationally across road and gravel. This ongoing racing experience gives him a current understanding of the demands athletes face and strengthens the insight he brings to both coaching and biomechanical support.

Andy specialises in hydration testing and fuelling for endurance athletes. He trained in advanced sweat testing to provide additional support to his clients and now offers the same expertise to a wide range of athletes, from novices to World Tour cyclists, pro triathlon champions and professional boxers.

In his practice, Andy has found that most athletes understand why fuel and hydration are vital to performance, but one of the most common mistakes they make is knowing exactly how and when to take that fuel and hydration on board.

Understanding that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach is core to Andy's method.

Often seen on the Big Island of Hawaii, Andy still dabbles in Ironman triathlon and loves to train and compete.

Dr Steve Mayers leads the psychology side of Elite Edge, helping athletes develop the mental skills that turn physical potential into consistent performance. He works with clients facing pressure, anxiety, motivation dips and confidence issues, as well as those simply looking to sharpen their mental game.

Combining clinical expertise with applied performance psychology, Steve takes a practical, evidence-based approach. Rather than abstract theory, he equips athletes with tools they can use in training and on competition day — from pre-performance routines and self-talk to strategies for managing setbacks.

Steve believes sustainable performance is built on wellbeing as much as ambition, and he works closely with the rest of the Elite Edge team to make sure the psychological side of an athlete's development is never an afterthought.

Tim is a General Practitioner with a particular interest in sports physiology, athlete health and endurance performance. He studied Medicine at the University of Bristol and brings a broad clinical perspective to the Elite Edge multidisciplinary team.

Within Elite Edge, Tim takes on an advisory medical role, helping ensure that athlete health remains central to the performance process. He has supported multiple athletes through different stages of their sporting journeys, helping them navigate the interaction between health, training load, recovery and performance.

His involvement strengthens Elite Edge’s ability to take a genuinely multidisciplinary approach to athlete development, providing medical insight alongside physiology, biomechanics, strength and conditioning, nutrition, psychology and coaching. This is particularly valuable where illness, injury, recovery, medication or wider health considerations may influence an athlete’s ability to train and perform.

Alongside his civilian medical career, Tim also serves as a Reservist Medical Officer in the Armed Forces, further developing his experience of working in demanding environments where sound clinical judgement and practical decision-making are essential.

Outside of medicine, Tim is a keen endurance athlete himself, competing in Ironman triathlon, cross-country and gravel cycling. His own experience of training and racing gives him an additional understanding of the practical demands faced by endurance athletes, with a personal ambition to qualify for the UCI Gravel World Championships.

Danni successfully transitioned from sprint into endurance cycling, competing professionally on the road for Lotto Soudal and in the UCI Track Champions League. She later achieved further international success in para-cycling, winning three world titles in 2024, Paralympic gold at Paris 2024 and another two world titles in 2025.

Danni was awarded an MBE for services to cycling following her achievements at the Paris Paralympic Games. Her career at the highest level has given her first-hand experience of the physical preparation, technical execution, teamwork and psychological resilience required to perform when the outcome matters most.

Alongside her sporting experience, Danni holds a BSc in Sport, Fitness and Coaching. She combines academic understanding with the practical knowledge developed throughout more than a decade in the British high-performance system, helping athletes understand not only what they need to do, but how to execute it effectively.

As an Elite Edge coach, Danni brings an athlete-centred and highly practical approach to development. Working alongside the wider Elite Edge performance team, she uses structured training, performance data and her experience of world-class competition to help athletes build confidence, develop their capabilities and deliver when it counts.

For the past three years, Ted has worked closely with Craig Stevenson, both as an athlete and as part of the Elite Edge coaching team. During that time, he has progressed rapidly from junior endurance sport into elite-level middle-distance triathlon while developing his coaching knowledge within Elite Edge’s evidence-led performance environment.

Ted combines firsthand experience of high-level competition with an analytical and highly individualised approach to coaching. He uses physiological testing, training data and race-specific preparation to understand each athlete’s demands, identify opportunities for improvement and translate those insights into clear, practical training.

Having coached endurance athletes for several years, Ted understands that sustained progress requires more than simply completing a training plan. He works closely with each athlete to balance performance ambitions with their experience, lifestyle and capacity to train—helping them become stronger, more confident and better prepared for the demands of competition.

Alongside his coaching, Ted continues to pursue his own ambition of progressing into professional triathlon, bringing the insight, discipline and current racing experience gained through that journey directly into his work with Elite Edge athletes.

Jack’s progression through the sport has given him first-hand experience of what it takes to develop from the British domestic scene to the highest level of professional cycling. Before turning professional, he raced with British Continental team Saint Piran, combining the realities of domestic racing with the demands of developing towards WorldTour level.

Throughout this period, Jack worked closely with Craig Stevenson and the Elite Edge team, who supported his coaching, physiological development and performance preparation as he progressed towards the professional ranks. That relationship became particularly important following the serious leg fracture Jack sustained in 2025, an injury that initially threatened his professional career. Working alongside Craig and Elite Edge, Jack followed a structured rehabilitation and performance programme that helped take him from significant injury back to racing competitively in the UCI peloton.

That journey gives Jack a valuable perspective as a coach. He has experienced both the fully supported WorldTour environment and the reality faced by athletes who must balance ambitious sporting goals around work, family, limited time and other commitments.

Jack has now been coaching athletes for seven years, working with a broad range of performers including National Champions, domestic Elite riders and ambitious amateur athletes. His coaching experience spans road and track cycling as well as athletes competing in rowing and HYROX.

He particularly enjoys working with athletes who want to perform at a high level without having the time or resources of a full-time professional. His approach focuses on making every element of training purposeful, using intelligent programming, clear communication and practical experience to maximise the return from the time an athlete has available.

Now combining UCI-level racing with his role within the Elite Edge coaching team, Jack brings current professional racing experience alongside the wider expertise and multidisciplinary support available through Elite Edge. His aim is not simply to make athletes fitter, but to build the confidence, understanding and consistency required to produce performances they may previously have thought were beyond them.

With a master’s degree in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Sheffield, he brings a rigorous scientific and analytical approach to athletic performance. He takes a particular interest in emerging technologies and developments in training methodology, ensuring his work is informed by current evidence rather than convention.

As Elite Edge’s Performance Engineer and coach, Ollie works alongside the wider multidisciplinary team to turn complex scientific and performance data into clear, practical decisions. Recognising that meaningful performance gains are highly individual, his approach is shaped around each athlete’s specific demands, circumstances and goals.

Outside of sport, Ollie enjoys exploring new places, spending time with the family dog and raiding the reduced section at M&S.
