Piyush Chavan | Body Dynamics, Muscle Memory, and Insightful MTB Coaching in Queenstown, NZ
This episode of the podcast brings you an engaging conversation with my friend and fellow coach, Piyush Chavan.
Hailing from India, Piyush started his mountain biking journey as part of a tight-knit group of riders. After cutting his teeth in downhill races in Nepal, he found inspiration to embrace a biking lifestyle in New Zealand, drawn by the allure of the mountain playground that is Queenstown.
During the conversation, we touch on:
- Managing emotions like fear and anger
- Rebuilding confidence post-crash
- Body Dynamics & Building Muscle Memory
- The connection between off-bike mindfulness practice and building composure on the bike.
- Managing attention and focus
Listen in to discover Piyush's fascinating journey, from studying tourism business management to establishing his coaching business in Queenstown in 2021, serving hundreds of clients. Beyond being a weapon on the bike, Piyush shares his profound insights gained from off-bike pursuits like meditation retreats, yoga, and mindfulness practices, which he seamlessly integrates into his riding and coaching.
You can follow Piyush and Treadmark on Instagram @treadmarknz and check out their website here: https://www.treadmark.co.nz/
We rode the super fun trail, Squid Run at Skyline Bike Park before recording this chat and it was epic to see Piyush in action, composed and playful - I highly recommend watching that video over on my YouTube channel @jakejohnstone.
