Jake Johnstone from The Mind Mountain delves deep into the inner psyche, tools & tactics of Mountain Bikers in order to understand what it takes to push the boundaries of the sport from a mental & emotional perspective.

Grit With Wisdom
Jo Peters | Taking gender out of Mountain Biking, mindset for racing, and fostering a Mind/Body/Bike connection.
Today on the show, I got to head out for a rip with Jo Peters. We rode one of her favorite trails here in Squamish, Two Stroke Smoke, and then sat down for an insightful conversation.
Jo is active in the mountain bike community as a coach, volunteer, and enduro racer. She also works full-time as an RMT and is an expert when it comes to the Mind/Body/Bike connection.
Coaching-wise, Jo runs her own foundation called Jo and Co. - which aims to make MTB more accessible to women in British Columbia. Along with a small team of talented female-identifying coaches, she runs women’s coaching programs and events at trail centers all around the province.
We talk about what it was like to start out as a female Mountain Biker in a male-dominated sport, and how she has used some of those early negative experiences as fuel for her fire, inspiring her to take a lead now and provide meaningful change.
Along with this, she shares a bunch of the mental tricks, tips, and tools that she uses to ride at her best, whether it be between the tape or simply lapping local trails with friends.
You can follow Jo's adventures on Instagram @Jo___Peters and check out her coaching on her website, joandcocoaching.com
Enjoy!
