This week’s episode is LIVE 🎙️

This week, I spoke with human performance coach John Haime about the mental challenges riders face. He addresses what he considers to be a confidence crisis within the sport . He shares some simple tips to help all riders to shift their attitude to "ride big" instead of "riding small".
