Steffan Wyman Starting out in Women’s cycling team management in 2004, it was never my initial goal to work in the sport full time. However as time passed and I became more involved it was clear that’s what I wanted and I began to work full time in the sport from 2008. Previously working in financial services, I’ve used my previous management experience to try to bring in a level of professionalism and organization to the teams I run. In 2010 I took a step back from professional teams to work on a project with Matrix Fitness to try to develop the UK racing scene and create a new stable team, giving domestic riders the opportunity they needed. After 5 years, the time has come for the Matrix Fitness team to return to the professional peloton and in 2015 we are lining up against the worlds biggest teams in the worlds biggest races.
Adam Barlow Adam Barlow’s passion for football began in 1994 watching Lincoln City in the lower leagues of the English football league system. In 2008 he took up blogging and started watching more semi professional football in order to gain an insight into the game at grass roots as he was keen to develop his understanding of the game at all levels. Watching the England Women’s team play and beat Serbia in a European Championship qualifier at Doncaster in 2011, he was very impressed by the skill of the players and quickly made the decision to learn and write more about women’s football. In 2012 he attended his first FAWSL game at Lincoln Ladies and started writing as the official fans’ blogger on the website. As time went on he became more engrossed in both writing and the women’s game, writing articles for the website and helping to compose the player profiles for the website. He now regularly reports for Sports International Magazine and would like to help give women’s sport the platform it deserves. Away from football his other sporting passion is Taekwondo, having trained in the sport since 1989 and achieving the rank of third Dan Black Belt and helping in the running of classes.
