DONUTS & BIKES: The Mountain Bike Coaching Podcast
Donut Hole 1: What can Mountain Bike Coaches Learn from Mountaineering Guides?
Donut holes are the “missing piece” at the center of the pastry. Our Donut Hole “Mini-sodes” are short, bonus content that focus in on a single idea. This first one asks the question “what can mountain bike coaches learn from Mountaineering Guides?”
In this field recording, Kristian sits down with Josh Whitmore, Apprentice Rock and Alpine Guide, and Certified Ice Climbing Guide with the American Mountain Guide Association. Josh also is owner and head Coach at The Mountain Bike Skills Factory and is a Mentor for the Global Syndicate of Mountain Bike Coaches. He also has a great donut story!
