Pro cyclist Haley Smith is no stranger to the cycling world. She's a force on two wheels, and vulnerability and her willingness to share her inner struggles is a super power in and of itself.

If you struggle with confidence, are always comparing yourself to others, and obsess about watts per kilo or data, listening to conversation is guaranteed to help you loosen your grip a bit and enjoy the process of sport more. And isn't that the point of it all?

During this powerful conversation Haley lets us into her mind as we unravel and discuss how she:

• Survived anorexia
• Builds confidence
• Measures progress
• Uses data in training
• Plans to use her Sport Psychology degree
• Practices mindfulness
• Changed her mindset about watts/kilo
• Came to realize that she is ENOUGH
• Manages comparison to competitors
• Sets process goals and what they mean to her

I've been waiting for this conversation because I knew it would be meaningful, helpful for others and authentic. I know that every athlete, coach, parent and person can take something away from Haley's insights that will help them to shift their process in sport and their mindset, tipping it towards a more positive direction.

Understanding more about how Haley thinks makes it easy for me to understand why she's crushing. A big part of that is that she's found JOY in the process and sees beauty in the sport of cycling. You can follow Haley here.
