Hi! I'm Liz Sampey, professional mountain bike athlete and owner of Vital Motion Coaching.
Devoting my life to pursuit of a dream, in this case riding and racing my bike, has been a catalyst for growth in all areas of my life: not just as an athlete, but as a human. The bike has been an incredible way for me to explore and experience the world and my self. It has given me strength through dark times in life; as it has taught me who I am and what I am made of. It has exposed my weaknesses and forced me to confront them, accept them, and continually work to improve them. Through racing I have learned that it is always possible to expand the boundaries of what I consider possible.
Cycling is a perfect platform for people of any age and ability to learn about themselves and the world, and to challenge themselves in many ways. It gives people an opportunity to connect with others on a deeper level; to be curious, to share passion, to inspire and to be inspired. My dream is to take what I have been given, my knowledge and experiences as an athlete and in the rest of my life, and to use it to the best of my ability to empower others through movement. It is true that I am a competitive athlete and that I spend a lot of time training and chasing my own ambitions. But if I can open the door for something as simple as a bicycle to change someone's life, as it has changed mine, it is a bigger and better win than standing on any podium.
Vital Motion Coaching is something I created in order to share my love and knowledge of movement with the world. Movement is vital to our growth, our health, and our well-being. As an athlete and educator, my passion is to help others reach their own adventure and lifestyle goals through the benefits that being healthy and active provides.
I am incredibly grateful to my sponsors, who support my racing and expedition ambitions and allow me to continue chasing my dreams. The best thing about being an independent athlete is that I have the ability to support and promote people and products I truly believe in. Each one of you, past and present, has made a significant impact on my life and my career in some way. It has been an honor to be an ambassador for such wonderful people. Thank you.
See you on the trail!
