    Our penultimate episode of the series is with US cyclist and the ‘Queen of Gravel’, Alison Tetrick.

     

    She describes herself as a cowgirl, scientist, storyteller and professional cyclist! Her journey has taken her from growing up on a ranch in California to representing the USA national cycling team. 

     

    In a career that almost ended her life, she was ranked in the top 10 professional racers in the world, before a sequence of serious crashes which led her to explore different adventures on her bike.

     

    Listen to this fascinating episode to learn how you can push your peak performance no matter what challenges get in your way.


    “Pushing your peak will mean a different thing to everyone. For me, it's not always about winning races, it’s about how you track your training, your performance and how you feel in those moments, to be the best you can be.”

    Louise chats to endurance athlete, John McAvoy


    His story begins way before his professional athletic endeavours. From a very young age, John was drawn into crime and at 18 years old he was convicted for armed robbery, getting locked away at one of Britain’s most secure prisons for 10 years.


    During his time in confinement, John found his way out through sport - from doing cell circuits to holding three world records and seven British records on an indoor rowing machine.


    Tune in to this empowering conversation about his time in prison, the mental and physical struggles, and the incredible work he is now doing to support young offenders through the power of sport and performance.
