Biography
An Olympian and silver medalist from the London 2012 Olympic Games, a 7-time U.S. National Champion, a former world record holder and a 2-time Pan American gold medal winner, Dotsie Bausch is in her fifteenth year of racing. She has spent ten years as a member of the U.S. National Team and has competed in the biggest races around the world for her professional teams.
In 2007, Bausch tried track cycling for the first time and amazingly rode on to win two national titles on the track that same year. In 2010, Bausch teamed with Sarah Hammer and Lauren Tamayo to set a world record in the team pursuit and in 2011 teamed with Sarah Hammer and Jennie Reed to take silver at the World Championships. In August of 2012, Bausch became an Olympian and competed on the track in the 2012 London Olympic Games where she won a silver medal alongside her team mates in the women's team pursuit event.
While Bausch has scored major victories on the bike, perhaps her greatest victory came from resurrecting her own life from the depths of severe eating disorders, which threatened to take her life over a decade ago after a promising modeling career in New York City. It was during her recovery that she discovered her passion for cycling. Bausch's inspiring personal story has been chronicled in the media and she makes herself available to support women and men around the world in their battle to return to healthy eating and living habits through her highly sought after mentorship program. Additionally, Bausch serves as a mentor for young women eyeing the professional ranks for the Empower Coaching Systems development team, which she co-founded.
In 2002, Bausch launched a highly successful personal coaching business, which was originally women-specific. Through positive word-of-mouth, Bausch swiftly doubled her business and she began coaching men as well. Producing results for clients has enabled the business to grow each year. Over five years ago, she partnered with 2008 USA Olympic track cycling coach Andy Sparks to form Empower Coaching Systems.
Outside of cycling and motivational speaking, the Louisville, Kentucky native is also a color commentator for the NBC/Universal Sports Network. Bausch's reputation for being a knowledgeable coach, enthusiastic motivator and trusted resource for guidance, information and feedback is second-to-none. Her coaching philosophy stresses the importance of personalized training programs tailored specifically for the individual with a methodology that emphasizes a mind and body balance.
