In this episode, I chat with Greg McDonnell. Greg is a sports fanatic, an avid mountain biker, and is also a registered clinical counsellor. He grew up on the North Shore and has been riding bikes for as long as he can remember.ย
When he moved to Whistler 20 years ago, he started racing mountain bikes, and alpine ski mountaineering which enhanced his growing interest in the mental side of performance.
Fast forward to today, Greg has worked in the mental health and performance space for over 30 years and has owned his own private psychotherapy practice here in Whistler since 2007. He currently works with a variety of athletes from different sports including skiing, snowboarding, and mountain biking.
None of this was handed to him, as youโll hear, Greg is someone who has worked through some tough life circumstances himself, and he now holds real tools, and real wisdom learned through rising to the challenge of those experiences.
Join us as we break down the topics of:
- motivation
- mental performance strategies
- re-focusing
- regulating our nervous system
- developing self-compassion
As well as plenty of personal anecdotes, all relevant to riding and racing Mountain Bikes.
You can find out more about Greg and the amazing work he does in our community on his website mcdonnellcounselling.caย
