THE TRAVIS MACY SHOW

196. Tour de France Special: Brent Bookwalter on Cycling, Mental Performance, TV Commentary, and More


Listen Later

This week on the show, I’m joined by former pro cyclist, Grand Tour veteran, Olympian, NBC Sports analyst, and now mental performance coach, Brent Bookwalter.

We had a great conversation about life on and off the bike. Brent shares his unforgettable experience helping Cadel Evans win the 2011 Tour de France, reflects on the evolution of team dynamics in pro cycling, and breaks down how the sport is shifting with the rise of data and the emergence of the next generation of riders.

He also opens up about his own transition from elite racing to coaching, the role of mental fitness, and what it really means to support athlete well-being, especially during pivotal life and career transitions.

Big thanks to my producer and friend Anthony Palmer of Palm Tree Pod Co. for joining in on the conversation as well.

Be sure to catch Brent daily on Peacock throughout July as he covers the Tour de France, and check out his website to learn more about his coaching services.
