This conversation is with Sonya Looney, one of the world’s best endurance mountain bikers. She has raced her bike across the world in some of the hardest races and became the 24 hour Mountain Bike World Champion in 2015. Not only is she a world champion athlete, but she is also a health and mental performance coach, keynote speaker, professional writer and blogger, and host of the popular podcast The Sonya Looney Show! Although she balances many different identities, she is probably most well known for her ability to help people learn how to build a resilient inner narrative.
We cover:
- How Sonya left a career in electrical engineering to pursue mountain biking
- Becoming the first woman to complete the Yak Attack endurance race
- Quitting is a muscle and how to build resilience
- Changing your frame of mind around failure
- Balance doesn’t exist - the power of “intentional imbalance”
- Sleep is the number one priority (even over exercise!)
- How to set achievable goals
- The power of having a growth mindset
- Mountain bike tips for beginners
- Advice for handling fear during sport and life
- Why Sonya switched to a plant-based diet
- Her typical pre- and post-workout meal
