Triple world champion and Olympic medal-winning track cyclist Ethan Mitchell knows what it takes to excel. As Bayleys High Performance Coach Ethan’s job is to take Bayleys top performers to new levels they didn’t think possible.

Ethan’s stellar sporting career started after he joined the Cycling New Zealand high performance programme in 2009. Over the next 12 years he achieved podium finishes at the world championships for five straight years including winning three world titles, bronze in the individual sprint in 2017 (the only Kiwi to win a medal in that discipline) and, as part of the team sprint combination, also won gold medals at the 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Games and a silver medal at the Rio Olympics when he became the first rider to go under the 17-second barrier. Having spent 16 years of his life dedicated to sport at the highest level Ethan has been exposed to leading performance environments, and is now transferring all he's learned into the Bayleys team.

Ethan considers real estate not far removed from high performance sport – both are highly competitive environments where people excel by bettering themselves and their teams. His exposure to the best leaders in their chosen field and knowledge of what it takes to win at the top give Ethan a depth of coaching experience and leadership qualifications that are second to none. Ethan believes that all great leaders are constantly learning and leaves no stone unturned as he constantly strives to be the best he can be.

Outside of his real estate role, family and community are incredibly important to Ethan. He is a proud uncle and Sacred Heart Old Boy and enjoys getting back there for a rugby game or for sports awards as much as possible. He is also a dedicated supporter of Cure Kids, which has seen him donate equipment as well as engaging in school appearances.  He remains incredibly passionate about staying fit and getting outside, running and surfing for fun.

With his skills in high demand Ethan was drawn to Bayleys for its forward thinking, innovative and people-focused approach. Teaching agents what it takes to win at the top - commitment, resilience and drive – results in top outcomes for all involved. Ethan thrives on seeing people live their lives better – achieving their own dreams and those of their clients along the way.
