Life lessons I learnt from MTB Racing - The art and importance of FOCUS! #30

Sharing a few surprising lessons I learnt racing in a local mountain bike (and e-mtb) hobby race on the weekend. If you want to see the type of trails we rode and a fun little moment when Berni's mom called, then watch this short video on YT: https://youtube.com/shorts/0MOuFHehn6A?feature=share  I also talk about: an inspirational story one of the racers (aged 70+!) shared with us the elusive Flow State (and about how some people confuse Flow with an adrenaline rush - and the dangers of doing so according to neuroscience) a motivating concept about learning, especially at an advanced age (quoting James Clear)  why (re-)focusing during a race matters self talk strategies for more confidence, persistence and patience practice culture vs. crash culture  how to instrumentalise mountain biking to contribute to happiness  Want to support my channels with value-focused content and this ads-free podcast? You can do so by buying me a (virtual) coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires Support me on a monthly basis and get access to exclusive content by becoming a patron: https://www.patreon.com/c/rideandinspire         #mtbpodcast #rideandinspire #mountainbiking #mentaltraining #emtb #mtbracing #mtb #morewomenonbikes #mtbinspiration #mountainbikepodcast #roxybike #mentalhealth #selftalk
