Samuel Hayden
Head Coach, PMBI 2, NICA level 3, CSCS
Why is coaching the Duluth Enduro team important to you?
Our local cycling scene in the Duluth area is exploding especially the gravity scene. Coaching the DEVO Enduro not only allows me to pass on my knowledge and love for the sport but also to help grow responsible ambassadors for the sport ensuring the growth and respect of a truly amazing sport and community.
What do you hope to inspire in our young riders?​
I hope to inspire a sense of belonging in the cycling community, enjoyment of riding, equality, and inclusivity for all individuals, a strong sense of stewardship for the sport and land our trails are on.
