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
