Today, we’re diving into an incredible story of resilience and drive with YT Mob’s own Sian A’Hern. From a total skeptic about mountain biking to racing at Nationals - and then World Cups - all within a couple of years, Sian’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing; she’s faced multiple injuries, each time coming back stronger. We explore her mental strategies, the tools she relies on to stay focused, and how she’s overcoming the feeling of getting too comfortable since achieving her dream of making it onto a factory team. Sian’s outlook on life and bikes is contagious, and there's a lot to learn from her story. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Sian A'Hern.
