Welcome back to a brand new season of The Mind Mountain Podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into the mental performance side of mountain biking with our guest, Ollie Hooper.
Ollie, originally from Bristol, UK, now lives in Canada, where he is a director, part-owner, mountain bike coach and guide at RideHub in Squamish.
He shares his journey of moving to Canada to chase his mountain biking dreams, his experience in racing, and how he transitioned into coaching. Ollie also discusses his mindset strategies for dealing with fear and doubt, the importance of community, and the process of running a bustling bike shop.
We also introduce an exciting new collaboration - the BC Mountain Bike Expedition, which is aimed at providing riders with a comprehensive, guided, and coached experience through some of the best riding zones in BC.
