His achievements earned him the Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 2013, presented by King Charles III, in recognition of his contribution to sport and the nation.
Today, Mark applies his elite mindset and experiences to coaching individuals and teams worldwide. Through speaking engagements, online coaching sessions, and cycling programmes, he shares insights into resilience, mindset, and sustained performance.

Mark Colbourne MBE was an absolute pleasure to have at the Wiltshire Business and Sports Annual Gala Dinner this year. This is the second dinner that Mark has spoken at for us and his emotional story had enough variation that it was just as brilliant as the first time. Mark is truly inspiring and thoroughly recommended. | | Wiltshire Council | https://placid-fra.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/production/rest-images/zqiq8n9efryrq/airtable-a6f0d8b4a1f3f5397c9940da5a67a287-cfnkvvhn.png
