As a boy, Bryan Steel was uninterested in school and not especially athletic. Then he discovered a talent for cycling, which gave him both an outlet and a passion.
He joined cycling clubs and made it into the British cycling team at a time when it was not yet recognised for excellence. Bryan took part in the revolutionary change programme that catapulted the team onto the world stage. He competed at four Olympic Games, winning bronze in the team pursuit in 2000 and silver in 2004.
Bryan has worked with Sport England, the Youth Sport Trust, the Dame Kelly Holmes Legacy Trust and DARE UK to design, deliver and manage mentoring schemes.
