Improve your riding by building your Mental Fitness.

Every mountain biker needs 4 things to improve their riding:
• Skills training
• Practice time
• Physical fitness training
• Mental fitness training

While the first 3 are common, most riders don’t know what mental fitness is or how to develop it.

Building mental fitness for mountain biking trains your brain to put your fear into perspective instead of letting fear hold you back.

And this training has the power to transform not just your riding, but your whole life—relationships, happiness and career.

Train your brain
to better respond
to fear and doubt
in seconds.

No matter what level of rider you are, developing your mental fitness to complement your physical fitness and skills will take your riding to the next level.

Mental fitness helps you:

sustainably improve your riding
mentally reset after a fall
let go of your “should haves”
use your fear instead of being ruled by it
improve your relationships—partner, friends, family, etc.
feel happier

…and more!

The term mental fitness comes from Positive Intelligence® creator Shirzad Chamine’s research and work with:

World–class athletes
Hundreds of CEOs and their executive teams
Stanford students
500,000 participants from 50 countries

With simple daily practices, more than a million people have created lasting positive change in their lives.

Now it’s your turn.

6-WEEKS TO MORE CONFIDENCE ON THE BIKE

Start building your mental fitness by strengthening 3 key mental muscles that will weaken the negative saboteur voices in your mind and strengthen the positive voice of your inner wisdom.

Week 1: The Self-Command Muscle

Using a short practice called a PQ rep, you will exercise your self-command muscle to override the saboteur voices. Each rep takes just 10 seconds and helps you incrementally take greater control of your mind, quietting the negative and activating the positive region of your brain.

Weeks 2 & 3: Saboteur Interceptor Muscle

This segment of the program will help you catch your saboteurs in the act and stop them from hijacking your thoughts, feelings and actions. You will be able to see how your saboteurs lie to you and hold you back. When you strengthen this muscle, they lose their ability to trick you into thinking they are helpful.

Weeks 4 to 6: Sage Muscle

With the saboteurs in check, you can practice the positive sage muscle, which understands that every challenge can be turned into a gift and opportunity. You will learn how to use the 5 sage powers: empathize, explore, innovate, navigate and activate.

YOUR COACH

I’m a mountain bike and mindset coach who has been riding for more than 25 years.

When I began teaching beginner clinics for women in my local club in the early 2000s, I was amazed at the transformation in my fellow riders. Becoming skilled mountain bikers built their confidence and made them see themselves differently than before.

Even then, I knew there was more to this sport than riding bikes in the forest. It’s a self-development program that brings joy, community, health, fitness and more!

After all this time, I’m still as passionate about the sport as I was when my wheels first hit dirt and I’m stoked to help other people develop their skills their and their mental fitness.
