Roxy's Ride & Inspire RAWcast - Mountain Bike & Mindset Podcast Roxybike

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.

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!

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.

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:

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:
