Sky Academy Sports Scholarships: Quillan Isidore joins British Cycling Olympic Academy Programme

Heading into winter training things are going perfectly!

I have been accepted on the British Cycling Olympic Academy Programme and I'm currently training full time in Manchester. Alongside this I'm also finishing off my A-level in PE.

Since I've been up here I've loved every second of it. It's what I've always dreamt of as a kid and what I've aimed for, for the past few years. I'm very much enjoying the whole new experience of doing everything for myself and living with my two good friends; Tre & Kyle.

I've already made big improvements on and off the bike so I'm looking forward to going into next season with a solid winter's training behind me and hope to stay healthy and fit throughout.

My college has been really good with making sure I have the time to fit my work around my training, which makes me more relaxed and allows me to keep on top of things.

With the support of Sky they have made this life changing experience a lot easier for me and I couldn't thank them enough!
