Episode 4 of this season of The Podium is actually a rebroadcast of a conversation I had with Ted King on his King of the Ride podcast.  I worked with Ted on pro cycling’s World Tour, and it’s been a pleasure to continue the relationship since.  Conversations with him are always some of my favorite.  Ted describes himself as a “Professional World Tour bike racer turned professional bike rider.”  He now races across the US in numerous events each year, serving as an ambassador for cycling in general.  He also has his own (delicious!) nutrition company called Untapped.  Listen in as we discuss his recovery from a recent elbow injury, including the physical and psychological aspects that all recovering athletes deal with.Ted King on Instagram King of the Ride PodcastUnTapped MapleSeason Six Sponsor: Klean AthleteCheck us out at: Podium Sports Medicine Website | InstagramDr. Sprouse on InstagramPatrick on InstagramSubscribe: Apple Podcast |  SpotifyShow Produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
