Hands on tools to INSTANTLY regulate Stress Levels - Effective not only for Mountain Biking 😉 #007

In this episode I talk about the dangers of free YouTube Tutorials (and internet tutorials in general), about the limits of tutorials and "how to" videos - and also my personal experience learning with tutorials, as well as my experience coaching a lot of riders who used to work primarily with free skills tutorials. Fun fact: when I said Tim the DIY guy, I meant Tim „The Toolman“ Taylor 😆  Work with me personally on your mental strength and/or mountain bike skills:Get in touch and find my methodical practice catalogues here: https://roxybike.podia.com  Want to say thank you for my podcast, tutorials and more?You can make a difference and do so by becoming a monthly supporter on Patreon or share your appreciation once by buying me coffee 🥰          #mtbtutorial #howtomtb #roxybike #rideandinspire #mtbcoaching #tutorial #learnwithtutorials #mountainbiking #mtbtips #mtbwomen #morewomenonbikes 

How is it possible to learn to jump as an adult without getting hurt? That's what I (as a full-time coach with many years of experience coaching both riders of all levels, but also other coaches) talk about in this episode.

In this episode I share a simple, yet highly effective 4-step recipe for learning MTB Skills (and motor skills in general). I developed this protocol based on neuroscience, sports science and have been applying it my daily experience as a MTB Skills Coach, International Instructor Trainer and Graduate Mental Trainer for years. I also share why some people progress quickly and safely, while others stagnate and/or develop fear in technical trails.  Here are the links I mention in this podcast episode: Body Positioning Breakdown: https://youtu.be/SydGB5NN3Zg  Work with me personally, simply follow my proven step-by-step drills and get personalized coaching: https://roxybike.podia.com    How to Bunny Hop - NO, you do not need a rear wheel lift (actually, practicing rear wheel lifts LIMITS your bunny hop success): https://youtu.be/aHzkHN_uRhs Scientific studies showing the efficacy of DELAYED feedback and more resources about the science of learning:  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262305212_Delaying_Feedback_Promotes_Transfer_of_Knowledge_Despite_Student_Preferences_to_Receive_Feedback_Immediately The Effect of Immediate and Delayed Feedback (Virtual Journal of Positive Psychology and Wellbeing): Article Download Why you need to practice in a safe learning zone: https://youtu.be/u54_U4GqNUs The science of learning mtb skills (the neuroscientific background of what I say in this mtb podcast): https://youtu.be/k2Mv2PqYVEQ How to support my ads-free podcast?I'd be grateful for a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires Or you can get access to exclusive content and support me on a monthly basis by becoming a patron: https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire       

Does popular Mountain Bike Marketing distort expectations, decrease self-esteem & ruin trails? I certainly believe it does to some extent - especially for adult riders new to the sport. In this episode I share my doubts and my thoughts about what really matters for most mountain bikers, what truly makes an expert rider and I appeal to the marketing experts of the huge brands.  Here's the Reel I mention in this podcast episode: https://www.instagram.com/roxybike_coaching/reel/C86l80hstvS/  Here's my Body Position Breakdown: https://youtu.be/SydGB5NN3Zg Work with me personally with my Signature 4-C-Formula for less fear and more fun on trails: https://roxybike.podia.com Support my work 🩵 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire   

In my daily job as a MTB skills coach and instructor trainer I hear SPEED IS YOUR FRIEND a lot - and while it does have its truth, it also has its limits and dangers. In this episode I talk about why it may help, why and when it won't, why it can cause mountain bikers to plateau and crash, and how you can improve your skills without having to crash or "balls"/courage.  I also answer these and more questions: When is speed your enemy? Which maneuvers/features/trails require speed? Why is braking more impressive than being able to bunny hop? Is a fast rider a skilled rider? What do I work on with advanced riders? Why will women not be able to use "speed is your friend" as often as men? Is courage the trick to progress?  Here's the video about "how to wallride" I mention in this episode: https://youtu.be/1Rjo5iR2sMk Here's my FREE track stand course: https://roxybike.podia.com/trackstand-challenge-drill-to-skill-with-roxy  Here's my FUNdamentals course:  Here are all my home training courses with proven, easy-to-follow drills to learn and develop the movement patterns you need for technical trails in a SAFE learning zone right on your doorstep, before you risk trying them on trails: https://roxybike.podia.com/mountain-bike-online-courses  Did you know this podcast is not monetized? In contrast, it actually costs me money and time, as I need to pay for hosting and spend a lot of time researching, recording, editing and publishing it. 😍 If you would like to help me keep doing so, then you can become a Patron and/or buy me coffee here: 🥰 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires

Are men or women better at coaching? What to look for in an exceptional MTB Coach? Are racers good/better coaches? Are women or men better at coaching mountain bike skills? Are instructor certifications important and which is the best certification? Are race qualifications an indication for good coaching? Do you need a coach with mind-blowing riding skills? How will you find a coach that fits your riding and learning style? As a full-time MTB coach and an international instructor trainer, certifying coaches for the Bike Instructor Certification Program, I have worked with MANY instructors over the last years. In this episode I share my own and the experiences as an IT and share what an instructor trainer for the PMBIA also shared with me. I also address whether racers are good coaches and what most exceptional riders struggle with most when they become instructors.  Also, I share what World Cup racers have told me about coaching and what it does to their skills. (It's not what you think) And give you an indication on what in my opinion REALLY makes a good coach (and what disqualifies coaches).  Did you know this podcast is not monetized? In contrast, it actually costs me money and time, as I need to pay for hosting and spend a lot of time researching, recording, editing and publishing it. 😍 If you would like to help me keep doing so, then you can become a Patron and/or buy me coffee here: 🥰 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires

In this episode of my podcast I share a mental training tool called the ABC method - it's super easy to remember and highly effective to tackle negative emotions such as fear, anger, overwhelm or jealousy (and many more) - on and off your mountain bike. I use it a lot with my clients in my counselling, but also with the athletes when we work on mental strength and resilience - and also use it a lot myself when I get frustrated while practicing or just overwhelmed with emotions of different sorts.  I hope you find it helpful!  Support this podcast - because it is not monetized, that's why you don't hear ads!It actually costs me money and time every month, as I need to pay for hosting and spend a lot of assets researching, recording, editing and publishing it. 😍 If you would like to help me keep doing so, then you can become a Patron and/or buy me coffee here: 🥰 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires

Sharing the top 3 sexist comments I got last week, some more mean comments other ladies got and examples of mean comments especially women in the mountain biking world face. Also, I share how I react to them, why I've started to enjoy some of them and how to take hate and bullying (and sexism) less personally.  This is the instagram post I mention in this episode:  https://www.instagram.com/roxybike_coaching/reel/C5gd7qDs0B9/ - it's a MUST read, so many amazing comments!  Work on your skills and mental strength with my home training courses right on your doorstep - the cheapest and most effective way to get access to my pro coaching cues and signature 4-C-methodology! https://roxybike.podia.com  Support this podcast - because it is not monetized, that's why you don't hear ads!It actually costs me money and time every month, as I need to pay for hosting and spend a lot of assets researching, recording, editing and publishing it. 😍 If you would like to help me keep doing so, then you can become a Patron and/or buy me coffee here: 🥰 https://www.patreon.com/rideandinspire ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/roxyinspires

A short, but thoughtful episode about a topic, that has been bothering me for a while now... It started off with something I heard on Pinkbike about "trail bumblers"... As a full-time mountain bike skills coach, mental trainer and psychological counselor I have seen how this aspect of mountain bike "culture" has it negative side effects.

Sharing some of the most common reasons why athletes get frustrated, how to turn frustration into motivation, why a FEAR OF FAILURE is stopping many people from progressing, and how we can utilize emotions we feel during mountain biking to create growth and emotional equilibrium in our daily life. As a graduate mental trainer I work with riders of all levels to improve their confidence, reduce their fears, and to perform optimally. Mental strength, if combined with physical and technical strength, is trainable - it's not magic. In this podcast, I love sharing my pro experience, modern neuroscientific findings and thoughts about these topics to help you have more fun on your bike and more fulfillment on your ride through life!
