Ordinary people doing extraordinary things: Olympian Marion Clignet and endurance record holder James Golding talk mindset and motivation.
When Marion Clignet was diagnosed with epilepsy and was disqualified from driving, she bought a bike.
When James Golding was recovering from cancer (the first time) and couldn’t walk or see a future, he bought a bike.
Our January speakers are determined characters. Join us on 21st at 7pm as we talk to them about being ordinary, but very determined people who have worked ‘step-by-step’ to achieve impressive goals.
And they’re still working hard.
Trek ambassador Sarah Galligan talks to Marion about her wins, the lows of losses and how she relates those to her current work as a cycling and mindset coach and with French sporting authorities to create better infrastructure for female cyclists.
And she’ll talk to James about his current goal to win the endurance Ride Across America, RAAM, in 2021. James has been as open about his struggles with depression as he is with his sporting and fundraising challenges. How is he balancing Covid resetting his plans and what can we learn from him?
They’ll share what keeps them setting goals. And how they make them happen. And they’ll take your questions – about sport, mindset, whatever.
They are both relatable. They both believe they are ordinary people who work towards extraordinary goals.
We think they are awesome.
