Ever wondered what it really takes to push through when everything seems to be working against you?. In this week's episode, Gail brings on a special guest who knows a thing or two about true grit - her brother David Ogg, team doctor for the UAE cycling team (yes, those Tour de France guys!). We're not talking about digging deep with a cute Instagram motivational post - we're talking about cycling through hailstorms, racing in snow, and getting back on the bike after watching your dreams puncture alongside your tire. So buckle up, Grit Reapers, we're diving deep into the world of elite athletes and the mental resilience that keeps them pedaling when most of us would call an Uber!
In this episode we get into:
π The brutal reality of what professional cyclists endure (think 8-day races in freezing conditions)
π How elite athletes handle the mental game when things don't go as planned
π The scientific, data-driven approach that keeps these athletes pushing forward
π What it takes to keep going when 29 out of 30 competitors won't achieve their goal
π The surprising behind-the-scenes support systems that power world-class performance
π How riders balance monastic discipline with real life and family pressures
Whether you're building an online empire or just trying to push through your own business challenges, this episode delivers raw insights on resilience that you can apply immediately. Because let's face it - if these athletes can push through hailstorms and heartbreak at 45km/hour for weeks on end, maybe that launch that didn't go as planned isn't the end of the world after all! The truth is, success in any arena demands both the physiological engine AND the mental capacity to keep going when everything hurts. So grab your water bottle (or wine glass) and get ready for some perspective-shifting truth bombs about what real grit looks like!
