FAVORITE NUTRITION HACK
You have permission to eat as MUCH as you want while on the bike, and the more you eat/drink, the better you’ll perform, so take advantage of it. Calories are king, so eat like a Lord!
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU? WHAT'S YOUR WHY?
I love setting goals, I love achieving goals and the sense of satisfaction that I get when I achieve something, no matter how big or small gives me such a HUGE rush of endorphins. As athletes we want to train harder and do better. I love to use my ability to inspire others and help those who are battling tough times mentally, by using my own story and my own struggles as a way of connecting. By combing those feel good endorphins and using them to help others, I feel as though I’ve found my calling in life and I LOVE that!
HOW ARE YOU DOING GOOD IN YOUR COMMUNITY?
I give back, I inspire and I help to get the best out of all those who surround me. In 2022 we raised $400,000+ for mental health charities around the globe and moving forward into 2023, I hope to build on this and use my experience as a catalyst for change.
