Feature Q&A: Rupert Graham (@SpiritTifosiRT ) More lockdown features – this one with Rupert Graham who lives in Woking (West of London) velouk.net/2020/06/29/featur… Brought to you by @velotech_uk & @RotorRace
I get a fair few messages from youngsters asking about power, weight, ftp and I think they’re the wrong questions being asked. So I’ve recorded 2 videos on “How to Turn Pro” with the help of some friends, this first one for juniors and u16s. Enjoy youtu.be/yGBXFfMFlks

What looks like a talent gap is often a focus gap. The "all star" is often an average to above average performer who spends more time working on what is important and less time on distractions. The talent is staying focused.

In case you're wondering if it makes sense to sponsor a cycling team. Yes, yes it does. Hansgrohe says they grew 30 % faster than expected thanks to their sponsorship of @BORAhansgrohe. In Germany, their brand recognition has tripled over the last year. expansion.com/directivos/dep…

No goal worth achieving is easy. The path to any kind of excellence is always paved with obstacles. Grit comes from learning to see the struggle as a challenge—a test of resolve. Keep rising to the occasion, and eventually you wind up looking forward to it. #FridayMotivation

Common error is presuming ‘training numbers’ dictate race performance, but they often fail to translate. We become obsessed with the plan and overlook physical and psychological processes of racing. This results in ‘head scratching’ ... but they’re capable of so much more 🤷‍♂️ – at Up Holland, England

Mental toughness is built by doing something that is hard (or uncomfortable) over and over again, especially when you don't feel like doing it. Stay positive and proactive to push through on your down days or when you don't have your A Game. #TheChampionsMind
