Sports mirror life. So how can we use sports to live our happiest, healthiest, bravest lives?
Bekah Rottenberg is the founder of Brave Endeavors, a professional mountain bike instructor, a NASM certified personal trainer, a Patagonia mountain bike Ambassador, and a former professional enduro racer. She retired from pro racing to focus on coaching and strength training through Brave Endeavors.
We talk about…
- Discovering confidence in all aspects of life through mountain biking
- Finding self-confidence through what her body could do, even when academics were challenging
- Breaking into pro mountain biking while balancing that with being a teacher
- Not wanting to go all-in on racing since it’d sacrifice other important parts of life
- Building confidence in youth girls as media poses unrealistic expectations
- Sexism and microaggressions in women’s sports, on a small scale and as an industry
- Changing her mind about transgender women in sports; it’s not just about testosterone
- Building a multifaceted business around a passion for the bike
- “The gap between expectations and reality is happiness”
- Building muscle is investing in your body’s retirement bank account; you don’t have forever to build strong bones
- Our minds can limit or push us, like with breaking the four minute mile
- There are many elements to identity, not just being a mountain biker
