About this episode
In this episode, Sarah talks honestly about why big, clear goals matter — not as motivation, but as a foundation for discipline. Drawing on her own journey from limited cycling experience to racing events like The Rift and Badlands, she explores how fear, self-doubt, and inconsistency show up for most riders, and why a strong WHY is what keeps you moving forward when motivation fades. This episode is about choosing goals that actually change your behaviour, learning how to dig deeper into your reasons for training, and building self-trust through consistency rather than confidence.
