Collegiate cycling has expanded greatly in the United States in the last 30 years. It has slowly become a pipeline for riders from high school to college and then on to greater successes. What has helped spur that growth, along with the successes of these athletes, is the hard work and inspiration of coaches like our guest this week-- Tim Hall of Lees-McRae College. Coach Hall joins us to help explain the structure of collegiate cycling and how he helps the next generation advance and harness the power of motivation.  We are brought to you by Manscaped, the creators of the Ultra Premium Collection.

Athletes want to compete and will compete even when hurt. It is their very nature that injury is ignored, often times until it becomes detrimental to a career. Harriet Owen suffered a serious concussion in March of 2021 at a training camp; but kept trying to compete and push herself. She paid a price for it, and eventually had to end her season early and suffered with post-concussion syndrome long after she stopped racing. Now, months later she is putting everything back together and hoping that 2022 will be the year that she can return, injury free, to the top of the podium.

Danny Estevez of Best Buddies Racing launches the 2022 season for us. He's an athlete who made the choice to leave the sport as a junior and then, when he was ready, to come back and drive for the top step on the podium.
