Do you ever perform below your expectations because you are too afraid you won’t be “good enough?”

Honestly more people than you would believe struggle with this.

One coaching tip I have to get away from the “demon of expectations” is to view your performance as if you are watching yourself in a movie.

It’s just you, in a movie theater, and you are watching yourself perform on the big screen. You can’t see what place you are in, you can’t see what power you are doing, you don’t know your time, it’s just you and your effort.

Put on a show that is worth watching. Think about MDVP’s epic win on the champs yesterday. Sure the win is great, but the imagines of how deep he went all the way to the line are all what he remembers and the rest of us.

Give this a shot and see if you can free yourself from the things that hold you back.

Is Tadej Pogacar the Taylor Swift of cycling?

Listen to why I think he’s much more than just the greatest cyclist of all time.

Amazing ride from Remco today to win the TT and really position himself strongly in 2nd place.

What do you guys think his strategy should be for the last mtn stages? Race Tadej? Ride his own pace and do a TT on the final climb to ride within his zones? Or join the battle dome with the four riders competing for 3rd place?

I think he should just ride a TT up the climbs and not play any of the games or engage in any battles. His margin on third is enough now where he can comfortably do this and likely end up even ending his gap.

Massive breakthrough moment for Remco today. I call this moment “0:00” and it changes the trajectory for riders of their careers afterwards. I believe Remco now will massively advance his TDF mountain stage performances from here on out.

Try this hand position to increase your power in the bike and climbing while preventing your hands from going numb.

Could this be in the cards as a UAE strategy for tomorrow’s stage 13?! What do you guys think?

Why is UAE racing so intensely for Tadej the first half of the Tour? I share some of my thoughts here.

Have you ever under fueled on your rest day and then couldn’t hit your numbers in your workout the following day?

Yes, we all have been there!

Well this is a major concern for the riders in the Tour de France on today’s rest day as well!

The post ride meal is critical on the rest day for carbohydrate replenishment from the days prior and loading for the days coming.

Take your rest day fueling seriously just like the riders have to in the Tour de France.

When I watch these sprint finales in the Tour de France all I can think about is how crazy they were to be a GC rider trying to be up there and not lose time.

In this clip I am sharing a story about how when you are in the peloton you feel like the passengers in a crazy flight where the sprinters are the pilots. But instead of looking for the smoothest safest options they instead are seeking out the most crazy path possible. Sometimes that path results in big crashes!
