How to race and why everyone should give it a go!

It's World Cup Season! 

Racing is back and we wanted to use this opportunity to discuss why lining up at a start gate is about so much more than wanting to stand on a podium.  In this episode we explore the myriad of unseen benefits of racings for riders as well as some basic tips for "how to race."

The show focuses on:

• Why people don't race and barriers to racing
• Racing culture
• Motivations for racing
• The importance of clarifying goals
• Focusing on process over results
• Competition: Moving from a win/lose mindset to effort/outcome
• Getting ready for racing -- tactics and equipment
• Fitness training...Or not!
• Technical Skills -- focus on the foundations
• Why jumping is good training for racing
• Race Day -- Identifying what we can and can't change
• Race Day -- tactics
• Race Day -- routine
• Homemade Donuts? Yes, please!
