Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Who has been your greatest influencer and motivator in your success in the field of your career in competitive professional cycling ?
Ms. Rachel Neylan:
I have a very supportive and loving family who give me great moral support, this is essential! I grew up in my early teen years with a poster of Debbie Flintoff King wonning gold in the 400m hurdles at the Olympics – this was a victory nobody anticipated one which came from humble beginnings. I also have enjoyed mirroring my career off a few other key female riders who have gone before me. Tracey Gaudry (now current UCI vice president) Sara Carrigan 2004 Olympic Gold medalist, Katharine and Natalie Bates have also been great friends, mentors and role models. The legacy of Amy Gillett has also been a huge inspiration in my career.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
How has your education of Bachelor of Applied Science in Physiotherapy from Sydney University and work experience at Sydney’s premier sports medicine clinic helped you and has been a catalyst in your preparation and success in competitive professional cycling ?
Ms. Rachel Neylan:
My physiotherapy study and career shaped the platform for me to be financially stable enough to fund the first few years of my cycling career. I always know I had a job to fall back on no matter what so the risk was low. I also learned and was able to understand better the capacity of the human body and training physiology. This was an advantage in rapidly changing my body from athletics to cycling.
