What keeps you motivated?
This community. When I first started riding it was all about me; the rush I got, the power I felt, my personal improvements. Ever since I got on the Podium and started teaching, everything changed. I realized that just by showing up and giving it my all I have the power to make a difference in someone’s day. It’s incredibly humbling and motivating to realize that my efforts actually have an impact; but what I’ve realized is there’s nothing special about me – we all have it in us to make that difference, to have that impact – just by showing up for ourselves and giving everything we got. That knowledge, that awareness of our own inner power – that’s what keeps me motivated to add that extra turn, to sprint that extra thirty seconds and to dance like no one is watching. I want to show riders in the community that their commitment to themselves matters, that we are in this together and we push each other across the country to succeed as one.
