#143 Steal My Mental Reset Ritual

Why is it that one bad ride can make us question everything we thought we knew? 

Here’s the controversial truth: failure is a better teacher than success will ever be. But most riders don’t know how to learn from it. Instead, we replay every mistake like a broken record, letting one ride define us. 

Sound familiar? It doesn’t have to be this way!

Whether you’re aiming for the podium or just trying to stay in the saddle, this episode is your playbook for turning setbacks into comebacks. Let’s dig in.
