Nick Formosa
Director, Head Coach, Retül University Lead Faculty
Nick is the director of RIDEFAST. He is a Level 2 Cycling coach with a background in fitness and lifestyle coaching after having completed a Diploma of Exercise Science. He has 25 years of experience within the sport as both an athlete and a coach. He was selected to represent Malta in the 2006 Commonwealth Games which shows the high level of commitment, dedication and skill.
Nick is currently contracted to the Queensland Academy of Sport as an Assistant Cycling Coach. He was awarded the 2009 and 2016 Coach of the Year by the Cycling Queensland Association after being recognised for successfully training athletes to State, National and World Championship level. His greatest satisfaction comes from athletes reaching their absolute potential. He aims high but also has that distinctive quality that empowers others to find and maximise their own potential.
His greatest inspiration comes from his parents Manny and Mary Formosa who moved to Australia from Malta with no money, for a better life for their children. Nick loves what he does and his enthusiasm and dedication is contagious.
