Meet Tyronne White – DriveTrain Academy’s Head Coach
With over 25 years of diverse sporting experience, Tyronne White brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to his coaching. He has competed in motocross, adventure racing, triathlons, Xterra, and cycling, giving him a unique perspective on athletic performance and endurance sports.
Ty’s journey started early, at just 13 years old, he claimed the All-African Triathlon Champion Under-13 title. His talent and dedication continued to shine as he transitioned into Xterra racing, where he secured 2nd place in his age category at the Xterra World Championships in Hawaii in 2011. As his focus shifted from triathlons to cycling, he continued to push his limits, winning the SA Marathon Champion (Age Category) title in both 2022 and 2023 and recently the SA Gravel Champion (Age Category) in 2024.
Beyond his personal achievements, Ty is also a UCI Level 1 Coach, dedicated to developing athletes of all levels. He has coached and mentored cyclists both locally and internationally, but DriveTrain Academy is his home base, where he shares his passion for cycling. His mission? To educate, support, and empower riders to unlock their full potential.
