Mindset

Mindset is pivotal when getting ready to race. A combination of enjoyment, confidence, a well thought through plan and tried and tested processes all help form a solid base for racing.

Mindset for elite racers is always a key part of their race prep and a really interesting topic to chat about, hence the invitation to be on the amazing Downtime podcast where Olly and Chris talk about working with racers to improve their race preparation and mindset.

They chatted about Olly’s coaching work with both the Mondraker downhill team and Laurie Greenland. At the time of recording, Chris was due to attempt the EWS100 so they chat about how to approach the race to give Chris the best possible chance of performing well. From classifying stages to finding the rhythm of a trail which is useful for anyone who races.

They also catch up on how Olly has worked with the Mondraker team riders over the last few seasons and get some insight into Laurie’s performance at the Fort William world cup from Olly’s perspective.
