DONUTS & BIKES: The Mountain Bike Coaching Podcast
Confidence & Fear Part 2: Industry Panel!
This week we continue the conversation and dig into this fascinating riding and coaching topic with some of the PMBIA's rad US Instructor Trainers.
Shanna Powell, Meredith McFarland, and Harlan Price join us in a 1920's farmhouse on the edge of Dupont State Recreation Forest for our first in-person show. We put the coaches on the mics and ask them to discuss personal perspectives on confidence and fear. The result is an expansive and honest conversation about how our confidence gets challenged and how we work through it.
As always, there are donuts. Perhaps many donuts. You'll have to listen to find out!
