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  Want to support my channels with value-focused content and this ads-free podcast? You can do so by buying me a (virtual) coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires Support me on a monthly basis and get access to exclusive content by becoming a patron: https://www.patreon.com/c/rideandinspire         #mtbpodcast #rideandinspire #mountainbiking #mentaltraining #emtb #mtbracing #mtb #morewomenonbikes #mtbinspiration #mountainbikepodcast #roxybike #mentalhealth #selftalk   

How can we leverage mountain biking to make the world more inclusive? What do mountain biking ladies think about sexism in the mtb world (and beyond)? Is hate on social media a reflection of society? Is there systematic misogyny? Is it a coincidence that most Nobel Prize winners are male? How can mountain biking help build skills for life? In this episode I address these and many more questions, sharing some of the wild comments I got below my last YouTube video (which contained a cheeky joke, that prompted some men to write pretty outrageous comments below it, and MANY people to write absolutely LOVELY comments and even send me super appreciative emails 😍) Here's the video with the comments - DO read the pinned comment to find out more about WHY I said what I said: https://youtu.be/_eCNaa4hn1k?si=Kqkm5BN1x5OfLyLg Here's the Facebook Group "Mountain Biking Ladies" I mention, founded by Dr. Liz Koch: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mtbladies/  Source of the percentages mentioned about toxic users: https://x.com/AdamMGrant/status/1846179226778849732/photo/1  Not mentioned in this podcast, but very relevant article: https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_to_turn_down_the_tension_in_a_conversation Support my podcast, YouTube and Instagram channels, which I feed in my free time to share my full-time experience as a skills coach & mental trainer: ☕️ Buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires 💞 Become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/c/rideandinspire - which will also get you access to exclusive content like Trouble Shooter Tutorials and detailed Skills Analyses.          #mtbpodcast #mtb #mtbladies #morewomenonbikes #mountainbiking #mountainbikepodcast #mtblife #mtbsexism #mtbismore #roxybike #mtbcoaching 

In this episode I share a recording of an interview conducted by journalist Bay Hagebeek - a deep talk during which we dived into topics like mental health, sexism, soul vs. ego, authenticity, why I became a coach, spirituality, eating disorders, how being egoistic can actually serve the world and how I've started to take hate on the internet less to heart.

In this episode I share a simple, yet highly effective 4-step recipe for learning MTB Skills (and motor skills in general). I developed this protocol based on neuroscience, sports science and have been applying it my daily experience as a MTB Skills Coach, International Instructor Trainer and Graduate Mental Trainer for years. I also share why some people progress quickly and safely, while others stagnate and/or develop fear in technical trails.  Here are the links I mention in this podcast episode: Body Positioning Breakdown: https://youtu.be/SydGB5NN3Zg  Work with me personally, simply follow my proven step-by-step drills and get personalized coaching: https://roxybike.podia.com    How to Bunny Hop - NO, you do not need a rear wheel lift (actually, practicing rear wheel lifts LIMITS your bunny hop success): https://youtu.be/aHzkHN_uRhs Scientific studies showing the efficacy of DELAYED feedback and more resources about the science of learning:  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262305212_Delaying_Feedback_Promotes_Transfer_of_Knowledge_Despite_Student_Preferences_to_Receive_Feedback_Immediately The Effect of Immediate and Delayed Feedback (Virtual Journal of Positive Psychology and Wellbeing): Article Download Why you need to practice in a safe learning zone: https://youtu.be/u54_U4GqNUs The science of learning mtb skills (the neuroscientific background of what I say in this mtb podcast): https://youtu.be/k2Mv2PqYVEQ How to support my ads-free podcast?I'd be grateful for a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires Or you can get access to exclusive content and support me on a monthly basis by becoming a patron: https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire       

Does popular Mountain Bike Marketing distort expectations, decrease self-esteem & ruin trails? I certainly believe it does to some extent - especially for adult riders new to the sport. In this episode I share my doubts and my thoughts about what really matters for most mountain bikers, what truly makes an expert rider and I appeal to the marketing experts of the huge brands.  Here's the Reel I mention in this podcast episode: https://www.instagram.com/roxybike_coaching/reel/C86l80hstvS/  Here's my Body Position Breakdown: https://youtu.be/SydGB5NN3Zg Work with me personally with my Signature 4-C-Formula for less fear and more fun on trails: https://roxybike.podia.com Support my work 🩵 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire   

In my daily job as a MTB skills coach and instructor trainer I hear SPEED IS YOUR FRIEND a lot - and while it does have its truth, it also has its limits and dangers. In this episode I talk about why it may help, why and when it won't, why it can cause mountain bikers to plateau and crash, and how you can improve your skills without having to crash or "balls"/courage.  I also answer these and more questions: When is speed your enemy? Which maneuvers/features/trails require speed? Why is braking more impressive than being able to bunny hop? Is a fast rider a skilled rider? What do I work on with advanced riders? Why will women not be able to use "speed is your friend" as often as men? Is courage the trick to progress?  Here's the video about "how to wallride" I mention in this episode: https://youtu.be/1Rjo5iR2sMk Here's my FREE track stand course: https://roxybike.podia.com/trackstand-challenge-drill-to-skill-with-roxy  Here's my FUNdamentals course:  Here are all my home training courses with proven, easy-to-follow drills to learn and develop the movement patterns you need for technical trails in a SAFE learning zone right on your doorstep, before you risk trying them on trails: https://roxybike.podia.com/mountain-bike-online-courses  Did you know this podcast is not monetized? In contrast, it actually costs me money and time, as I need to pay for hosting and spend a lot of time researching, recording, editing and publishing it. 😍 If you would like to help me keep doing so, then you can become a Patron and/or buy me coffee here: 🥰 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires

Are men or women better at coaching? What to look for in an exceptional MTB Coach? Are racers good/better coaches? Are women or men better at coaching mountain bike skills? Are instructor certifications important and which is the best certification? Are race qualifications an indication for good coaching? Do you need a coach with mind-blowing riding skills? How will you find a coach that fits your riding and learning style? As a full-time MTB coach and an international instructor trainer, certifying coaches for the Bike Instructor Certification Program, I have worked with MANY instructors over the last years. In this episode I share my own and the experiences as an IT and share what an instructor trainer for the PMBIA also shared with me. I also address whether racers are good coaches and what most exceptional riders struggle with most when they become instructors.  Also, I share what World Cup racers have told me about coaching and what it does to their skills. (It's not what you think) And give you an indication on what in my opinion REALLY makes a good coach (and what disqualifies coaches).  Did you know this podcast is not monetized? In contrast, it actually costs me money and time, as I need to pay for hosting and spend a lot of time researching, recording, editing and publishing it. 😍 If you would like to help me keep doing so, then you can become a Patron and/or buy me coffee here: 🥰 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires

In this episode of my podcast I share a mental training tool called the ABC method - it's super easy to remember and highly effective to tackle negative emotions such as fear, anger, overwhelm or jealousy (and many more) - on and off your mountain bike. I use it a lot with my clients in my counselling, but also with the athletes when we work on mental strength and resilience - and also use it a lot myself when I get frustrated while practicing or just overwhelmed with emotions of different sorts.  I hope you find it helpful!  Support this podcast - because it is not monetized, that's why you don't hear ads!It actually costs me money and time every month, as I need to pay for hosting and spend a lot of assets researching, recording, editing and publishing it. 😍 If you would like to help me keep doing so, then you can become a Patron and/or buy me coffee here: 🥰 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires

Sharing the top 3 sexist comments I got last week, some more mean comments other ladies got and examples of mean comments especially women in the mountain biking world face. Also, I share how I react to them, why I've started to enjoy some of them and how to take hate and bullying (and sexism) less personally.  This is the instagram post I mention in this episode:  https://www.instagram.com/roxybike_coaching/reel/C5gd7qDs0B9/ - it's a MUST read, so many amazing comments!  Work on your skills and mental strength with my home training courses right on your doorstep - the cheapest and most effective way to get access to my pro coaching cues and signature 4-C-methodology! https://roxybike.podia.com  Support this podcast - because it is not monetized, that's why you don't hear ads!It actually costs me money and time every month, as I need to pay for hosting and spend a lot of assets researching, recording, editing and publishing it. 😍 If you would like to help me keep doing so, then you can become a Patron and/or buy me coffee here: 🥰 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires

A short, but thoughtful episode about a topic, that has been bothering me for a while now... It started off with something I heard on Pinkbike about "trail bumblers"... As a full-time mountain bike skills coach, mental trainer and psychological counselor I have seen how this aspect of mountain bike "culture" has it negative side effects. This is the video I talk about in this episode: 202484279e765efd243d7a4150c6a0f2Did you know I earn €0 with this podcast?It actually costs me money every month, as I need to pay for hosting and spend a lot of time researching, recording, editing and publishing it. 😍 If you would like to help me keep doing so, then you can become a Patron and/or buy me coffee here: 🥰 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire ☕https://www.buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires

Sharing some of the most common reasons why athletes get frustrated, how to turn frustration into motivation, why a FEAR OF FAILURE is stopping many people from progressing, and how we can utilize emotions we feel during mountain biking to create growth and emotional equilibrium in our daily life. As a graduate mental trainer I work with riders of all levels to improve their confidence, reduce their fears, and to perform optimally. Mental strength, if combined with physical and technical strength, is trainable - it's not magic. In this podcast, I love sharing my pro experience, modern neuroscientific findings and thoughts about these topics to help you have more fun on your bike and more fulfillment on your ride through life!

This episode is about something I call "toxic positivity" in mountain biking. In my experience, responsible, professional and effective mountain bike coaching is WAY more than motivating people into technical sections - actually over-motivation can be very dangerous! In this episode I share why "it's easy, you can do it" can actually hurt, where good mountain bike coaching starts, why to listen to your gut and what to do if you feel fearful despite being motivated or cheered into sections. Listen to my last episode about fear on trails: https://www.podcastics.com/podcast/episode/overcome-fear-when-mountain-biking-the-most-common-reasons-how-to-handle-fear-on-trails-016-282225/ Let's work together to release your fears: My 4-week live online skills program starting March 16th, 2024: https://roxybike.podia.com/4-week-live-mtb-skills-program-with-coach-roxy Access my proven, easy-to-follow mental training tools, to work on your mental strength, resilience and courage from home: https://roxybike.podia.com/courage-and-confidence-booster Access to my mtb lessons: Drill to skill from home! https://roxybike.podia.com/mountain-bike-online-courses Did you know I earn €0 with this podcast?It actually costs me money every month, as I need to pay for hosting and spend a lot of time researching, recording, editing and publishing it. 😍 If you would like to help me keep doing so, then you can become a Patron and/or buy me coffee here: 🥰 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire ☕https://www.buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires

Are you fearful on trails, even if you've ridden them before? Heard someone say "you've ridden way techier stuff before" but still feel scared?? Well, then let's look at why many riders are fearful on technical trails, the most common reasons for fear that I see in my full-time experience working with riders of all levels as a mental trainer and skills coach - and how you can work WITH your fear to deepen your knowledge about yourself and explore what truly matters to you. In addition 3 tips to enable more self-empathy and more "flow" while riding. I share about my "typical client", the differences I see regarding skills between social media and real life (they are huge!) and I look at: what is true bravery, the 5 pillars that make a mountain biker TRULY successful and share a very common "couple problem" among mountain bikers.

Sharing my frustration with you (in a constructive way) - because I believe sharing it will contribute to making mountain biking safer! As a full-time coach and graduate mental trainer I KNOW how the brain and body work - but to me it seems as though some people rather ignore the facts - perhaps because they believe in a magic pill or so... 🤨 In this episode I'm sharing 3 true stories that may currently be keeping YOU from progressing your mountain bike skills, too! I share why "you were on the wrong line" may not be the cause for a crash. If you are questioning "Speed is your friend" - OR if you have said this before - if you are crashing more than you'd like to, if you're coming from gravel riding or road biking to mountain biking, or if you have been developing fears on trails, this episode may help!

When I train skills instructors or when I work with couples on bunny hops, manuals (or skills in general) it drives me CRAZY: When the guy says "It's easy, just..." Because NO, for women and shorter riders it's often NOT easy! In this episode I share my experience as a full-time mtb skills coach (and the frustration I endured when I started riding, especially as a female student being taught moves by men that simply DIDN'T work). I also share WHY Mullet it more than marketing, why women and shorter, lighter, older or weaker riders need an adapted approach to learning skills and why LADIES - you need to stop comparing yourselves to men and why GENTLEMEN - you need to stop mansplaining! Oh and I share 2 professional coaching tools to analyze and disect movements to make faster progress! Here's the video about the Bunny Hop I mention in this episode: YouTube Link to Bunny Hop Video 202484279e765efd243d7a4150c6a0f2Here are my proven drills - especially effective for shorter riders and women - but proven to work for all heights and genders: https://roxybike.podia.com/mountain-bike-online-courses Here's a FREE trackstand course: https://roxybike.podia.com/trackstand-challenge-drill-to-skill-with-roxy Here is my Front Wheel Lift Home Training Course, with special tweaks for shorter riders: https://roxybike.podia.com/front-wheel-lifts-skills-course-learn-4-techniques-to-lift-the-front-wheel-of-your-mountain-bike Here's my Short-Rider-Proven Bunny Hop Course: https://roxybike.podia.com/learn-to-bunny-hop-step-by-step-drills-bunny-hop-course And here you can work with me personally, from where ever you may be located: https://roxybike.podia.com/online-mtb-coaching And here is my video for the dismount - which is a LIFE-Saver (unless your in-seam in 28" and you're on a 29" bike): YouTube Link for the Rear Dismount 202484279e765efd243d7a4150c6a0f2Did you know I earn €0 with this podcast?It actually costs me many € every month, as I need to pay for hosting and spend a lot of time researching, recording, editing and publishing it. 😍 If you would like to help me keep doing so, then you can become a Patron and/or buy me coffee here: 🥰 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire ☕https://www.buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires

Exploring the science of learning mountain bike skills (and all motor skills), touching on neuroscience, answering why you technically know what to do, but then suddenly forget what to do on trails, why there are more effective mountain bike skills coaching methods than the currently popular ones and how you can learn ANY skill you want as an adult effectively and safely in a sustainable manner.
