Anna Yamauchi is a professional off-road bike racer and competitor in the Life Time Grand Prix Series. But Anna is so much more than a bike racer and athlete. Humble grace, quiet confidence and easy speed are what comes to mind after spending ninety+ minutes in conversation with this exceptional young human—who just so happens to be really strong and good on the bike.  In this episode we explore a wide range of topics from relationships to mindset, routines to flexibility, training to mental health. We’ll also discuss how Anna's finding the warrior within, her headspace following a frustrating Unbound, her grit and determination in the face of health challenges, and her meteoric rise and breakout in the most competitive field of off-road cycling North America has to offer.  Full of grace, grit and courage, Anna Yamauchi is a standout athlete and special human; she’s thoughtful, resilient, intelligent and witty.  Fresh off a trip from Paris, we’ll talk about her journey to observe the 2024 Olympics and the steps she’s taking to bounce forward stronger than ever.   Present, grounded and fully here—Anna’s likability, authenticity and big heartedness are on full display. Anna is someone showing up, rising above her challenges and circumstances and she's sure to inspire. I’m really excited to bring you this conversation today.  WNbL, mwl Anna’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yamaggucci/ Leadville 100 Fundraiser: ⁠⁠⁠firstdescents.org/fundraiser/⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠beaudacious.com⁠⁠⁠ Michael’s Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@michaelleachba⁠⁠⁠ Show’s Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@thebounceforward⁠⁠⁠ This episode was powered by ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Bicycle Station ⁠
