Rising - Ep 5: The Mental Game w/ Kate Courtney

See the FULL STORY: bit.ly/2pT48Zm
Coming into the season wearing the rainbow jersey meant all eyes were on Kate Courtney for 2019. Kicking it off with three World Cup wins added to the attention. In only her second year of Elite, the world was curious what this rising star could accomplish. But expectations and pressure can weigh heavy on a young athlete. In the final 2019 episode of Rising with Kate Courtney we dive into the Mental Game of elite mountain bike racing.

My three daughters had the opportunity to meet Kate at an XC race. They were so inspired by her. It was amazing to see her speak to my daughters. Her words and the way she spoke were very empowering. In Kate's words “You can be feminine and girly and sparkly and be a really badass bike racer as well.” Its great to see a top level athlete give back through mentorship as well as the personal cues of self-expression that help instill confidence. These efforts can really impact young women.
