About

I'm Nick van der Lijke Zijlaard — a coach, a dad, and someone who still loves chasing watts just as much as the riders I work with.

After years in the pro peloton, I’ve learned that progress doesn’t come from doing more — it comes from doing it smarter. With Bullet Coaching, I help cyclists build structure, confidence, and real results, whether you’re aiming for the front of the race or simply your strongest self.

I believe in honest feedback, personal guidance, and keeping it fun — because performance and passion should always go hand in hand.

 

Real progress takes focus, structure and trust.
That’s what Bullet Coaching is built on.
Watt by watt. Stronger every ride.
